| 126449 | 2003-03-07 23:09:00 | There must be a cut off point when you're on a 56k dial up. There's no point having a 1 gig processor and 1 gig of Ram for example if your connection just can't feed the data to be processed fast enough anyway. I was just wondering if there is some rule of thumb about this. 700mhz Celeron 128 megs pc 100 sd Ram Atx Wh5 mobo onboard sound & video 10 gig HDD ........is the system at the moment and I dom't want to upgrade beyond the point of any return. Any comments much appreciatted mark :) c |

| 126451 | 2003-03-07 23:37:00 | Thanks for that tweak'e I was just wondering when you get to the point of no return by upgrading processor and memory but being still dependent on a dial-up. Like the dial up is a bottle neck so there's no point trying to get something much speedier than the bottle neck anyway (for net use). Cheers mark :) c |
