Asus or Netgear.

I've had Comcast since @home days and I have zero complaints. I routinely see 112+mb down / 12mb up, pings below 30ms. I'm running a SB6120 with a Netgear nighthawk R7000, latest official Netgear firmware.

Do you use a router? NAT is a basic firewall in itself.

I'd keep vista on it, just make sure your patched up to SP1 and all updates!

The 6gigs will run on Vista vs your XP home so again,stay with Vista.

The Video card is a pc of junk.. you should sell it and go for a Nvidia card such as a 9800GTX or higher but be aware that I believe 350watt LiteOn ...

Just because the thread is however old, doesn't mean you have to be a prick about it.

Welcome to the forums, 95% of the time when someone mentions the connection speed they are referring to the highest speed of the connection which is almost always the download speed.

So for instances when you ...

Vista's built in defrag is actually Diskkeeper lite... and does a surprisingly good job at that.

Nobody's figured out how to adjust Vista's TCP/IP stack but judging by your speed test results and the tier of service that your on, I'd say your good to go. Vista TCP/IP stack is self adjusting for the most part.

Honestly xp64 wasnt that bad, I mean all my drivers installed perfectly from setup. If youve got a 64bit processor I would say go for it,but if u have at least a gig of ram, i'd run vista. I went xp64 to vista ultimate 64 and havent looked back since.

illestdynasty

make sure vista is set for a private network so it will make itself discoverable, and you will want to turn on network discovery and file sharing.

Also make sure that windows firewall is off and that all computers are in the same workgroup for faster discovery. Using this method every device on my ...

In all honesty the quads and the duo should perform the same if they are clocked at the same speed, only difference is the quad will let u do twice the work at the same time as the duo cuz the quad cores are really just two core 2 duos placed on the same die. However the higher clocked chip would ...

....still not seeing a comparison to an opteron, but you can rely on benchies all you want, I'm going by what I know.

you want FX performance? Buy an opteron and overclock it, FX and opterons are the same cores..

hate to say it, but I kinda wished I went with a dual core opty insted of my x2. I've seen them hit 2.9ghz easily

If i were you id opt for the cheapest x2 with dual 1mb cache and then OC. My x2 3800 runs rock solid at 2.5ghz.

try installing latest chipset drivers as well as the Microsoft SMP patch.

I used to think that. Then Intel came out with the p4c and I thought they did. Then intel's next cpu's didn't step up and AMD became the better. The same with nvidia vs. intel. The same with motherboard companies. The same with sound card/speaker companies. The list is endless.

I realized over ...

one more late vouch for the x2 3800. I'm running one now and I'm still amazed. Running COD2 while downloading mp3s, running antivirus, burning a cd all at once is jaw dropping.....the 2gigs of ram helps too.

Speeds are fine, however sometimes I do experience a brief delay when pages load in IE. Checked spyware, anti virus, etc. I already have the optimizer set at optimal for all net adapters. Motherboard is a MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum with onboard gigabit nics (two of them)

either way he goes either the 6800GT or the 7800 he may need a powersupply update also. The 6800GT may use more power than the 7800 too.

I've got a 550watt psu, so i think i'm covered in the power area. I didnt really want to spend more then 150 or so on video, thats why I went with the 6600GT ...

I've seen it on about 3 threads (on speed guide) some stickys, and even on cablenut (someplace). I'm gonna leave mine on auto. I have Linksys Nics that seem to place nice with the router, and I'm just not that anal to go and eek out a few more bits of performance.

Anyone using SNET/SBC/Yahoo DSL....in the past couple of weeks I ran into huge problems with SX routers running the 1.50 firmware.

IMHO- that's one UGLY case! :eek:

From a cooling and noise standpoint- there're better case designs that use 120mm fans. The 120mm's have a lower fan noise frequency than those multiple 92 and 80mm fans that one comes equiped with. Thus, they cool as well or better with less and more tolerable ...

Hey guys, I've just got a quick question. I've noticed with any speed test that they have a "connection speed" and a "download speed". I was just wondering what the difference was between the two, and also, what limits my download speed? Would it be my computer, or the server I'm downloading from ...

Has anyone had a problem with this firmware?

I flashed my router with this firmware and had the following problems...

1. No IDENT response when using mIRC. I disabled the "IDENT filtering" in the setup page and forwarded port 113 to the PC that has mIRC installed. Not too much of a problem except ...

Saw it mentioned in another thread, and decided to try it out.

If you really want to save money and gain some PC knowledge/experience I'd say go with a Abit NF7-S or a DFI Infiniti Mobo and a Mobile Athlon XP 2500 and overclock that baby. There are people running that chip stable at 2.7ghz . Its cheaper then going for a XP 3200. Whatever route you decide, make ...
