| 651550 | 2008-03-22 05:55:00 | Hey by the way, its 383kilobits per seconds, NOT kilobytes. so you are at 89 Kilobits, which is 11.125 Kilobytes per second. 1 kilobyte = 8kilobits I am on Slingshot, 25GB per month, $29.95 a 256kilobit plan, although I ALWAYS get higher :) |

| 651552 | 2008-03-22 06:05:00 | If you are using Windows XP, there are registry settings you can edit to make internet connections faster, but don't look at me, I'm a Vista convert and have forgotten what you need to edit... sorry about that. There are programs that do optimise you Internet Connection, maybe TweakXP is one... | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
| 651553 | 2008-03-22 06:06:00 | Yea i have used several but nothing... hmmmm, how is vista anyway, is it as bad as people say? | password (5384) | ||
| 651554 | 2008-03-22 06:09:00 | For me Vista is great, but for people with old PCs, don't upgrade unless you have hardware like Nvidia Geforce 7 series GPU A Duo Core processor or higher at LEAST 1 gb of ram, 2Gb will give you much better performance though If you don't have the above, get Vista with a new PC when you do get one My specifications are in my signature. If you do decide to get Vista on your old PC, always do a CLEAN install, upgrade installs aren't good. |

| 651556 | 2008-03-22 06:15:00 | You graphics card is a little underpowered, so I'd suggest wating until you have a new pc, alternatively you can upgrade your graphics card to something like a 7800GTX. I run vista on a 1gb Intel P4 3.2 GHZ and a Geforce 6600 as well as my new PC, and its ok. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
