Yeap, but now its like 66 degrees after I clean off dusts behind it.

slackerz

I've checked my GFX Card's fan and everything, removed all the dust. Improved my PC performance. The only thing is that when I watch a stream anywhere, it lags after 5-10 mins.

slackerz

Well, I've downloaded and checked my PC temp with Everest. It's between 72 to 78 degrees. How do I check my Video Card's 'GPU'? Is it the fan?

Anyway, many thanks for the reply.

slackerz

Actually Infineon is good stuff....Kingston is common value ram. Regardless of what brand you use, the exact part numbers you get should be approved to be compatible with your system...you don't just grab "any old stick of RAM which appears to be the right speed" like way back years ago in the EDO ...

slackerz

thanks for the help guys, i totally agreed with my video card thingy and has put the game away sadly. anyway, about online streaming, i've quite solved the problem by removing 2x 128 mb ram. i just installed it with my new 512 kingston but maybe it has brand conflicts or something. the 128mb is ...

I was wondering, how do I check if my Gfx card is working well, so that I could mark out that this isn't a Gfx card issue.

slackerz

Thanks for that.

I've done Microsoft Updates.

Checked for spyware and removed them.

Downloaded CCleaner and clean the crap off.

Streaming is still slow, BF2 can't run. It's weird, this never happened to me before. Any other suggestions?

slackerz

hello, there, i'm having real problems with my pc and i think i've tried everything so i'll post here and maybe some kind soul would help me out.

first, let me state my specs.

pentium 4 1.6ghz [windows xp home]
768mb ram
nvidia geforce 4 mx 440 128mb

slackerz

Thanks, tried that and still a no sort of improvement, anyway, I've using mnosteele32's settings in the first page.

slackerz

Oh yes! Another confirm, I'm tweaked. 1650kbps 367kbps. Anyway, web browsing is still laggish and web streaming like youtube lags after a while.

Oh btw, thanks troggers. Thanks for all the help man!

slackerz

Okay, I've did the test. 1717kbps download 412kbps upload. Is this good?

slackerz

Atm, I've searched every manual and manuals online but I could only find that the nodes have something to do with DHCP.

I don't quite know what to do, I've set everything up almost perfect as what I've read here. I'm not going to give up though and with you guys here especially Troggers! [Thanks a ...

I've done all of that now, but my tracert is still the same as the ones posted above. Is there anything wrong with that?

EDIT: Does the tracert test show that the router's not working as planned? I'm still not safe from hackers or anything?

slackerz

My router is a Linksys BEFSR41 Etherfast Cable/DSL Router with firmware v 1.46.02. Latest.

My modem is a SpeedStream4100 DSL. I have a Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection.

slackerz

One more thing, do I need to change anything for my Local Area Connection Properties? Its all set at Obtain automatically.

slackerz

Oh man.

Okay, here's what I've done.

Modem

Singnet gave all its customers with 1500 plan a 4100 Speedstream modem and it ripped all the advance tools/options thus, I can't do the bridging by going to its website gateway, 192.168.254.254. So, I found a way to bridged it by manually holding the ...

slackerz

Bridged my modem. Now my router handles my PPoE connections. Here's the tracert test.

Redo the tracert.

Sorry if its a dumb question, where do I do a tracert? I googled and there's a perfomance testing website http://www.tracert.com but it needs registration, is this the right one?

slackerz

Hi guys, its been a while and I'm having a few problems. I find that my streams are laggish/stutterish after applying the tweaks, anything to improve that?

slackerz

I think my router doesnt support it. Does it come in a software package?

slackerz

Care to explain more mate? Anyway, I'm using Linksys BESFR41.

slackerz

slackerz

So, I have a router plugged in with both my PCs. The thing is, I want my first computer to get the 90% of the connection [seeing the other one is being used by my bro and he know nuts about internet]. Any ideas?

slackerz

Oh now I understand. Cheers mate. Anyway, here's the accurate tests.

50megs - 200KB/s which is 1600kbps.
1gig - 200KB/s which is also 1600kbps.

So, my conclusion is that its optimised then.

slackerz

I finally found an FTP and my speeds are 250kbps average for all file size.

Here's the link to the FTP - ftp://ftp.singnet.com.sg/speedtest/

slackerz

Dslreports, Haha, will do, if I find it though. Thanks.

EDIT: I can't find a speedtest local one.

slackerz

Heyyy, we've got the same ISP. Check out my thread just above yours. Anyway, how's the tweaking going? Any improvement?

slackerz

Is your ISP Singnet? Try the following custom settings with TCP Optimizer:

General Settings tab:
Custom settings - check
Modify All Network Adapters - check
network adapter selection - your NIC
MTU 1492
TTL - 64
TCP Receive Window -87120
MTU Discovery - Yes
Black Hole Detect - No

Firstly, I have a DSL Connection [PPoE], my ISP is a local one and its advertised speed is 1500kbps/256kbps.

Here's the TCP/IP Analyzer test for my connection.

TCP properties for IP = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

slackerz

My provider is Starhub - http://www.starhub.com/online/maxonline/index.html
And the advertised speed I should be getting is 6500kbps.

EDIT: I've done tests at Speakeasy. I'm getting 2166kbps down and 247kbps upload.

slackerz

Guys, any ideas?

slackerz

Well, ermm, the thing is, I don't know. I just found out today when running TCP/IP analyser. Is there anyway to disable it?

slackerz

Yay! As always, mnofsteel52 comes to the rescue!

Thanks for the link mate.

I still am not certain about proxy. Does my ISP decide if I'm behind a proxy? Or is it my firewall?

slackerz

So, you're saying that it all depends on my connection? Which sofware firewall would you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance.
