http://dslnuts.com/ramdisk.shtml it does help with conection it can be a tricky install. A ramdisk is like hard drive instead of writing on the hard drive in stores information on ram. Since on ram it will be quicker acess then the information on hardrive hoped that helped..

Lobo Can u help me tweak my connection then....

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 23110
For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.

Now were doing it right, try this:

In Optimizer select connection type at top, select adapter, select custom settings, enter 1 at a time 51100 or 64240, uncheck scaling under Tcp1323Opts, apply changes and REBOOT each time you change number in Optimizer, the following numbers scaling IS checked, try besides the ones thats in now: 513920, 524176, 531440

Speed test here, test will open another browser, close one
directions on how to do speed test in help thread in signature:
The one with the dollar signs next to it, thanks. Close ALL browsers prior to test. (After download comes up)

ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64

Tell me the KB's you get, download half the file then cancel it.

If from overseas try nearest site from here: http://www.testmyspeed.com/internationalspeedtests.htm

Turn off all running programs.

In IE, go to Tools, internet options, connection tab at top, LAN settings at bottom, nothing should be checked in this box, NOTHING, No auto detect, no proxy, no automatic configuration script, NOTHING, REBOOT

Try test the one above, what Recieve Window are you using

If you are scared say you are scared. You don't do it because you don't understand it, just like you don't understand much of anything about computers.
