Glad to know that someone is happy with dial up i know i never was. You shuold remove link because that would be considered spam if you make money

this thread confuses me: are you referring to external antennas? IDK im tired

I tried linux out, my keyboard and mouse, and wireless adapter dint even work so my computer was basically worthless with linux. So i ended using one of my old keyboards and mouse. Linux was okay but without a internet connection there was really nothing to do so i ended up switching back to XP

yeah it really helps alot that ff is open source. Security Wise definately.

lol yeah, i cant belive i still havent been able to fix that

100/100 connection that is affordable would be insane

I would be happy with a amd athlon 64 3000.

I'm way too adapted to Firefox to change to IE 7 BTW sweet sig dlewis

of course a good way to test it is to download large files from Microsoft or something on each browser and compare speeds.

:haha:

Wow cant belive power cycling fixed your speeds and i guess we were over annalyzing it. Any way im glad your speeds are back to where they should be.

Hes on the 6mbit plan isnt the upload 384mbit or 512? either way the upload is way nice

yeah FF beats IE by a lot feature wise. That is IE6 IE 7 just copied all the feature from FF

you prob need to call your internet provider and talk to one of the techs if you want to know that

Hello and Welcome to the forum. Comcast has offered a new boost technology system which is why you are experiencing very fast speeds. The topic was dicsussed here http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-14544

i never had any problem with ff other than the few crashed when i installed the most recent update but i am too adapted to ff to change

for me it would be a huge performance boost but i get what you are saying if you are upgrading from the 4800 it would be a huge waste of $$$

try and test your speed with a diffeent browser

yeah thats true because you would have to invest in a new mobo.

atleast it consumes less power than the older x2's but it is not socket 939 "compatible"

yeah that is tracer route. Im wat kind of modem/router do you have? Is the firmware updated? If you have seperate router try taking a speed test with just the modem. Make sure router and modem are not on top of each other

im pretty sure van has the fastest upload on here but i kno some people have the 30/5 package from fios

can you post a tracerroute.

Along with last week's Athlon 64 FX-62 CPU and Socket AM2 chipset announcements, AMD introduced a more mainstream dual-core chip, the Athlon 64 X2 5000+. At $696 (according to AMD's pricing per 1,000 units), the X2 5000+ has a lot of performance to offer for the price, stacking up well alongside AMD's pricier Athlon 64 X2 FX-60 and FX-62 CPUs, as well as Intel's most advanced desktop chip, the Pentium Extreme Edition 965. If Intel weren't close to announcing a major overhaul to its CPU lineup in the coming months, we'd be able to provide a clearer recommendation for the Athlon 64 X2 5000+. As it stands, powerful though it is, we suggest you hold off purchasing such an expensive chip until we know what Intel's next-generation Core 2 Duo processors will bring to the computing table. Despite the impending Intel announcement, the X2 5000+ deserves merit. Compared to everything else in the field right now, the X2 5000+ will serve everyone but demanding gamers well. At 2.6GHz per core, it's faster than all of AMD's original X2 series of dual-core CPUs. It was also announced on the same date as the aforementioned Socket AM2 chipset for a reason. The new AM2 chipset brings all of AMD's CPUs onto an updated motherboard platform, although the company needs to reissue separate AM2 versions of the old Socket 939 chips. The X2 5000+, however, is Socket AM2 only. About all that really means is that you'll need to buy a new motherboard (Socket AM2 and Socket 939 aren't cross-compatible) and new DDR2 memory, since AM2 boards don't use DDR memory. Aside from the memory switch, the only other major advantage of the new platform is reduced power consumption. Whereas on Socket 939, the highest-end X2 chip, the 4800+, required 115 watts from your power supply, the X2 5000+ (and the AM2 version of the 4800+) needs only 89 watts. While we appreciate the improvement, it will really benefit you only if you're building a PC with multiple high-end graphics cards. rest of the article/review herehttp://reviews.cnet.com/AMD_Athlon_64_X2_5000/4505-3086_7-31890132-2.html?tag=nav
