>And there isn't a chip on the market for a Honda that will give you 50 horsepower over your stock chip. Not unless you've already done a ton of other mods, like new cams, intake, exhaust, pistons, head work, etc. The same is true for Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs, etc.
Probably what the poster was referring to by aftermarket chip upgrades is cars that come with factory turbochargers e.g. current VW's engines (1.8T, TDI). With these chip upgrades you are changing the factory boost from typically 7psi to 10psi or so.
To add to that info, hw accel is available for the VooDoo(Graphics,2,Rush,3) chipsets. sure, its binary-only, sure, its glx only, but its quite playable for me in quake2 with a celeron @ 450 and a v3 2000 agp.

NAT, at least with common Cable/DSL routers, can be easily detected by your ISP.
For the latest DOCSIS modems, the snmp software in them reports the MAC address of the host connected to it.
If this MAC address starts with e.g. 002078, it is definitely a router connected to the modem.
On less conventional systems (such as a cheapo PC with 2+ nics) it is more difficult.
