Is G@H that genome thing? Maybe I'll try that.

NotFastEnough

Help me out here guys! EXACTLY which files do I put in the RamDisk for improved performance?

NotFastEnough

Well, I let MSN Messenger and Fix-It Utilities start up, I think that is the only delay I see when my desktop comes up... but there IS a delay.

More info on the testing later...

NotFastEnough

I was gonna try that tomorrow on a friends machine, he is running XP as well... then on to the Depot for a new card...

NotFastEnough

What sound cards are people having good luck with running XP?

Maybe Ill pick one up tomorrow, this is getting annoying...

NotFastEnough

Yes I tried that as well

NotFastEnough

Haven't tried different speaker, fairly sure they are ok though.

Ill probably buy a different sound card and hope for the best.

NotFastEnough

I've used both drivers... same problem

NotFastEnough

I guess Im going to have to disable systems sounds... this sucks!

NotFastEnough

This is the driver I am using... the XP site wouldnt let me d/l it, so I got it right from Creative Labs.

Gotta be the same driver, Windows XP Update says Im caught up now...

I still have the same problem

NotFastEnough

I am running Win XP Professional on a 1Ghz with 512MB of RAM.
My sound card is a Creative Labs Soundblaster PCI 128.

This is the problem... it is NOISY. For example, when I watch a Flash movie every time an image "pops" onto the screen it makes a sqeaking, crackling, clicking noise. If I am playing ...

NotFastEnough

Nice example, the 1000Mhz machine can d/l the same file in about 30% less time... which means the 1000Mhz machine is faster... which means Lobo and I are correct.

Like I said... I see this everyday... it is a fact.

NotFastEnough

I can tell you, from EXPERIENCE... processor speed and RAM DO have an effect on download speed...

I see it every day...

NotFastEnough

Tipping isn't customary, nor is it expected! In fact, I alway try to refuse tips... but if the customer insists I will take them.

If you treat me like a human being and maybe offer me a glass of ice water if it is hot outside, I will go out of my way to make sure you are very happy with your ...

The only part of my connection that runs at 100Mbps is between my PC and SB4100... NYR 56 if you are faster than I am Hooray!

MILEY maybe try taking that SB4100 off of USB and running a NIC in your machine?

NotFastEnough

I get the occasional 20.00 tip here and there... but this RAM is the best one yet...

I'm holding out for Saints or LSU tickets though!

NotFastEnough

2.0Mb down, 356k up according to the "official propaganda."

The d/l cap is actually 2.3Mb though...

NotFastEnough

Ummm... isn't it LPB... as in Low Ping B*itch or Low Ping B*stard?

What is an LBP?

NotFastEnough

Upload is typically capped MUCH lower than download speed for two reasons...

1. The "pipe" used for upload is much smaller than the "pipe" used for download.

2. The cable company does not want people running FTPs and gaming servers that hog the limited bandwidth that is available for upload ...

I think XP is returning the speed of the connection between your PC and your cable modem...

An SB4100 with everything set to auto-detect will show 100.0 Mbps.

I ran a trouble call this afternoon. The customer was SO happy that her cable modem was working properly after I did my thing that she gave me a BRAND NEW, IN THE PACK, 256MB stick of RAM!

Needless to say, it's humming away in my mobo as we speak, and me and my machine are happy as clams...

Just ...

Indy... I sure wish we had some DC-4s! Lot's of apartment people complain about the degredation on their TVs with the DC-6s that we use!

Who do you work for?

NotFastEnough

Oh SORRY! Hehehe... the thread by Indy is in the general discussion forum!

A cable tap is the point where a cable drop connects to the service line... the tap might be up a pole or in a pedestal on the ground. From the tap the drop runs to your home, either in the air or underground.

When the drop reaches your house splitters are used to split the signal from the single ...

Lobo is right on, if it is "grayed out" you can't change it!

There is a web page out there... somewhere... that walks you through various TCP/IP properties to make you connection more "hacker proof" but still functional as far as printer and file sharing over the NetBios protocol, but I can't ...

I personally dont think that the "warez" version of XP is going to expire. We will soon see... Lobo I hope you are WRONG this time!

NotFastEnough

If you are running a Motorolla Surfboard SB4100 Cable Modem you can set it to 100Mb/Full Duplex. I haven't noticed a difference personally, as only the connection between your PC and your Cable Modem will be a 100Mb/Full Duplex conncection. Your upload/download beyond the Cable Modem will still be ...

What are you using on Cablenuts new beta? Shoot me over an eamail man.

Lobo, DO NOT go to Afghanistan! Things will be a little ROUGH over there for a while! We dont need no Asama Bin Lobo!

Now you know a Cable Modem does not use a COM port! I don't think this tweak will help us cable guys a bit!

NotFastEnough

Cable modem has nothing to do with a COM port... you got my attention though! I just had to look

NotFastEnough

Here they claim a cap at 2Mb down and 356k up, but it is actually capped at 2.3Mb down and 356k up. Fastest I can go is about 2.1Mb down and 353k up. Tweaked.

NotFastEnough

I copy you all the time, you bum! I wish I was fast like you...

NotFastEnough

Hey man. Got the link, thanks. Got it up and running, so far so good!

NotFastEnough

From folks "in the know" I have heard that 2600 IS the final, and that it will NOT expire. This is just what I've heard... I'll let you know for sure in about 28 days!

NotFastEnough

and I have something good to say about Lobo. He has probably helped more people here than the rest of us put together.

I might not ALWAYS agree with Lobo regarding tweaking, but he helps TONS of folks here and he is a great guy.

NotFastEnough

But Lobo it looks so damn COOL!!!
