Start with just one.
Download SG Optimizer to your desktop, select connection type at top, select optimal settings at bottom, Select adapter you are using, click on apply changes at very bottom,and REBOOT .
If you wish to enter custom TCP recieve window select custom settings at bottom, enter what you wish, click on apply changes at bottom and REBOOT.
If using Cablenuts adjuster too, you must first bring up adjuster, click on delete Cablenut Tweaks at bottom and reboot, then download and install optimizer.
Optimizer in my signature
Do your speed tests here after you turn off all running programs http://www.speakeasy.net/main.php?page=sup_pops , select site nearest to you, turn everything off thats running, Check Taskbar, 1 browser, clear cache, If you are from over seas select from here: http://www.testmyspeed.com/internationalspeedtests.htm
Even though it is not the nearest the Dallas test is pretty quick
BEFORE SPEEDTEST
1. At top of IE, click on Tools, internet options, click on delete files and click on offline files (It's safe), click on clear history, yes
2.) Go to Start button, programs, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup, Click OK (Safe)
3.) Run scandisk (Short version)
4.) Scandisk on XP?
Click on My Computer, select Drive that XP is on, RIGHT click on BLANK place, select properties, then tools at top tab, click check now, check box automattically fix system errors, click start,
then test. Turn all running programs off. Reboot computer so you have all your RAM
