DSL has a direct connection from you to your phone company, whereas cable is shared among different users on nodes.

I've never had DSL (I'm only 15 anyways

...) but cable has served me well. The download speeds are faster in price/value and the pings will be very similiar to DSL.

compkid87

The DSL will probably have a slightly better ping than Cable. But go with the cable anyways. You probably won't see a noticeable difference in gaming... and cable wins in the price/value comparison. With 384k Upload you can host your own servers with 10-12 people. Going with cable will also save you ...

This has been going on for months now, actually, ever since my dad purchased Cox Cable Internet (3000/256). I've been a somewhat regular user here at speedguide and already know all about the reset modem and blah blah lol...

Anyways, I play online games, specifically Rogue Spear. As most of you ...

I was wondering...can a Micro ATX mobo usually fit inside most ATX cases or would you need a micro atx case?

compkid87

no one has any suggestions? =/ I host a server but i cant ping it or go in, but other people can.

compkid87

When I host servers (specifically those for UDP games), my pc and the ones connected to my router cant ping it, but outside everyone else can connect to it and play. There is some problem between the connections to my 2 comps on router. I have thd DMZ n' ports set up right... and the subnet mask ...

BF1942 all the way!

compkid87

I have RP114 with cox HSI and I frequently get disconnected and I have to go through setup wizard again...or it comes back on in 5 seconds. It doesnt behave like that when its connected directly :rolleyes: Plus the DMZ servers wont work..when I got it from BestBuy there was some circuit messed up ...

Is a CPU shim necessary?

compkid87

I'm pretty sure the rest of the NFS series like porsche unnleashed and stuff support it. BTW I think NFS High Stakes is more enjoyable than Porsche Unleashed

compkid87

When I first got my cable I came here to tweak it and began to get involved in forums. The best thing I saw was the people...immediate responses with thought out and professional answers :D Its the people that drive Speedguide and not vice versa. Thanks to everyone who has helped, and keep up the ...

wow! upgrading a PII400 to an AXP2100+ for only $231.75 + a week wait and 1 or 2 hours

... I think you get my point =] once more thanks for the free advice! I wouldnt be able to play doom 3...but ut2003 is good enough for me

compkid87

True...I would rather spend an extra few bucks for brand name...just looking at my options

Thanks again you've been most helpful.

compkid87

Ok. I'm getting the mobo+CPU and I have a question about the power supply since I know nothing about it :rolleyes:

The original PSU you suggested is found here (SL450). It seems to be a duel fan 450w for $71 + $5 shipping.

On a reliable( :rolleyes: ) Ebay store I was looking at this . It appears ...

compkid87

Is it me or is there a huge jump between the xp2100 and the xp2200...only a few mhz diff...why so different pricing, or is it just me

compkid87

looks like im set, thanks a lot for your help!

compkid87

Thanks for your recommendations! I'm getting them.

compkid87

but it also depends on many other things like video card, motherboard, etc..

compkid87

Also, how is this processor?

compkid87

Thanks for replies...

Im working with around $250 for the motherboard and processor. I'm not interested in overclocking (im a newbie at this stuff). I dont mind OEM.

I have a 115v/230v power supply, would I need to get a new one?

I would like the motherboard to work well with my current ...

compkid87

n1ce, how long it take you to do that?

compkid87

Try TweakUI?

compkid87

Well, its about time to upgrade my old pII 400 to a gaming machine... I have questions some people would consider dumb, but if they werent asked, I would never know :2cool:

I started looking at www.pricewatch.com for some motherboard combos, preferrably the Athlon XPs (cheap compared to intel :D ...

compkid87

Battlefield 1942 used to be choppy on my pc (Athlon 1.3, 640mb pc2100, 64mb video card). It ran MOH fine though... Seems weird, but after a long time of doing everything i could imagine, i rolled back those new nvidia drivers and it ran smooooth... :D I dont know if the driver i had was corrupted ...

I bought my router at $90 2 weeks before it went to $40. Is it just me or does this always happen every purchase.

compkid87

I have that problem w/my netgear RP114 4-port.

It loses my cable conn. every few hours and i have to go through setup wizard again.

compkid87

I believe MAC address is the identification number on modem, which is also what your ISP uses. This number is probably on a sticker underneath your modem, which means the network card doesnt have anything to do with MAC address. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

compkid87

lol well said. Who is this by the way? no one has aimed me, and i only have a few tags ;-) BTW this is !AoA! Drue, and i couldnt get arc radio to work =p

It sounds like a cookie (munch munch crunch) it saves info from previous sites like login info, and what you clicked . Nothing to worry about there :D But to make sure its a cookie, go to the site, click the link, go to tools>internet options>delete cookies. Refresh the site and check to see if it ...

compkid87

Im upgrading my pII 400 with probably an athlon 1.4^ on Pricewatch.com there are so many diff types of motherboards w/the number+letter model mumbo jumbo. There a place i can go that has different models and specs, so i can actually know what im buying

compkid87

a great "camp" you mean

compkid87

Also, when its set as DMZ it frequently disconnects (every 5-60 min.) so i have to reset the router and go through the config again

This happens to both of my pcs.

Any suggestions? Or should I just never buy Netgear brand again

compkid87

You probably havent heard of it, but its called ARC...Its mentioned in my post in gaming forum. Its a UDP game, but some other TCP games dont work like rogue spear and Age of Empires II when its set as default DMZ (by the way, I have a software firewall, but i tried turning it off while set as the ...

compkid87

Other than Speedguide of course

http://www.3dgamers.com 's forums are pretty good.

compkid87

i got to get it

Is there and pack that has like all of them or some of them together...im confused which ones to get, there are a lot. I dunno what order either

compkid87

I think I'm the only one who has'nt played the Sims

What kind of game is it, does it have an objective or is it just a fun non sense kind of game

compkid87

I have a Netgear RP114 router w/built in firewall. When I set this server as DMZ, i cant ping UDP servers as if I connected directly. When I play UDP games I have to set it up directly

compkid87

CABLE RULEZ, DSL SUX!!! -- jk

Well said cat. It also depends on location, I have a friend in AK w/ same ISP. I have better comp but he has more stable speeds
