Man, 800x600 is hard on the eyes for me.


Nice rig though and blazing connection. Congrats :thumb:
Simply run adaware, spybot, ZoneAlarm, HijackThis, AVG, update windows daily, have a router, don't open e-mail, turn off action scripting, don't use P2P networks, don't violate EULAs, and wear a condom to get Windows secured.

People say Linux is alot of work!

Stuff running in the background wont affect your speed, neither will the rest of your computer, save for maybe a older, slow spinning HD or cruddy NIC.

Hi Lobo
People will forget what you said... and people will forget what you did... but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Hi Mad Doc, how are ya, fine I hope, above he said things running in taskbar won't slow you down, first time I ever heard that, anyway now I have 2 GiGs RAM does not matter.Anything that uses RAM WILL slow you down unless you have alot of it.

Slow your every other task down, but not your connection speed.

Many software applications that run continually on the computer can degrade system performance. Firewalls were discussed above, but there are a number of other types of software applications that can drain system resources. The amount of RAM and the processor speed of the computer can sometimes limit the user from having the optimal experience that they could be having.

By checking your computer for programs and applications that are currently running, and shutting down those programs that are not needed by the computer, you can free up the RAM and processor resources that were being used by these applications. Programs such as anti-virus software, "password remembering applications," and other programs that continually run while the computer is turned on can require large amounts of RAM space and processing power to operate. By shutting down unneeded programs, the computer can devote its resources to those applications that are truly needed and used.

Windows NT 4 Workstation, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows XP Professional all run specialized "services" in the background. While many home users are using these operating systems, these operating systems were originally created for business usage. There are a number of services that may be active in each of these operating systems that are not needed by a home user. Deactivating these services can increase a computer's performance.


I don't care what you say, turn off your firewall, anti virus sysstore and run test. :)

You mis-read what I said.

I know background applications slow down your tasks, but not your internet speed. The headend CMTS doesnt know what speed computer you're running, either does your modem, and neither one cares.

Speed will vary greatly dependant on other factors. It wont be the exact same everytime, so if you gain or lose some Kbps, its because its not a consistent connection and wont ever be.
