I like the way everybody bands togather and helps each person out. Lots of good information. Problem solved. Maybe someday find a better internet source. Thanks everybody. What a great bunch of folks.
-
Again thanks Swimmer!!!

No it is near the middle. So it is pci, I assume. And probably not worth the expense to change, correct. Correction, about 1130connection speed at 2992.

How do you know if you have an NIC.
-
What is an onboard nic? Also I thought dual core was for gamers.

If there was a website where you could walk through the build process with explanations as to what would work for certain situations, and what was necessary to complete a build so beginning builders could do it with less questions, and not miss any key components. If there are none then someone could make some money doing this. I like newegg but they don't have that part, if they do please let me know where to look it up. You know like house blueprints.

I guess I should also mention what I already have. Emachines t6522. AMDAthlon 64,3500+,2.2GHz, 512 KB L2 Cache, MHz FSB, 200GB Hard Drive ATI Radeon 9250(not expressPCI), 2048RAM, Dual Channel, XP Home edition, no router. I don't know maybe thats as good as it gets in my situation, I like everyone else am always hoping for a little bit more. Any more suggestions would be helpful. Good ones so far.I also prefer desktop for maintenance and bang for buck. Thanks.

My apologies for sounding like I was ditching on games. I just meant that with all the gamers that my not being interested in a game machine my be boring to you all. Mainly I guess I meant that a friend suggested that high ram, large processor, low hard drive will speed things up a bit. Unfortunately my first two PC's were store bought. The second being a media center thinking that was the only way to get any kind of speed. I live in the boonies 5 miles from any cable civilization. Most people would probably say go to the pro account but I am afraid I will not be as successful with it as I have with my consumer account. I am getting average 1300 with 2992 connection speed. Most people say that is over cap on dway 6000 consumer. I am afraid I will be paying more for no more power and an extended 15 month sentence. So I figured if I built a surfing hotrod, if I could ever got a better connection maybe I would at least be able to use the faster computer to it's fullest advantage, and for now at least maybe I could at least maybe speed up dway a little bot right now. I would try the 7000 but everybody talks about download increasing speed, no interest there. So there is my situation. Again sorry if i upset any gamers. Used to be one myself. Just that I have small children my self now. And things change.Just get tired of spending all hours researching different on internet. Like I told one friend if I could get good cable I would stop tweaking and just enjoy speedy service and the fact that I now know how to keep a computer at full operating efficiency thanks to the knowledgeable folks at test my.net. Thanks.

I did not know you could run tcp optimizer and cable nut together?

What would make for a high speed surfing computer. No games(boring). No office work.Little photo. Little c.d.work. Very little d.v.d. E-mail. Mostly surfing. Any good computer designs. Under $2500 Of course single core processor. Use your imagination!! To be built. Spend my money wisely. Think about it and do alittle research. Please!!! Tweaks included.

Self employed. No taxes out. No money back. But spend plenty out, all year to do this. Realestate.

Total Time Spent Online: 1 days, 4 hours and 23 minutes. Total Posts: 21 posts Total Topics Started: 5 topics Number of Polls Created: 0 polls Number of Votes Cast: 3 votes At first I came to check speeds. Then came to fix speeds. Now like a good book! Just hate to put it down. Besides where can you go to talk to people that don't look at you and say have you got any thing else to talk about. It's a good hobby and it keeps me off the streets at night. :haha: Besides my computer is running better than ever. And it is more fun being on it. Maybe after looking at my stats I am more addicted than I thought.

What about a garage sale very small window A/C, inside a home built box with ductwork leading to inlet of case. A/C is actually a dehumidifier. Box with filter ($.59 furnace filter) for clean air to A/C inlet on box. Under $100 with used plywood (can always find some laying around somewhere). But must have some type of temperature control. Westinghouse where I used to work had to keep temperature and humidity control in some shop rooms to build some components.

You've talked to the Rev lately? BTW, what bird are you on tommie gorman? Bird fan; I don't know anything about the Rev. except on this forum. My bord is AMC9 according to the tech. Signal strength 64. Was told oversold like the rest some time ago.

Personally I would never go into a forum where there are this many issues with my company and jump right into the lions ring stating who I was. Takes guts. -
Jan 07 2006 1637 Kbps Download 30 Day Stats (Overall Average = 1263 Kbps :: 154 KB/sec) Have been having trouble the last couple of days but I think I finally have them ironed out ok. By the way Bird man this is normal.

Topic: Fastest "over-limit" speeds recorded this morning - For all DW6000 Users (Read 9762 times) This is the Rev's settings I was talking about. Plain and simple. Probably does fit in anybodies calculations but it is that simple. Too much of a simple user to do much else. Anyway 1151 down at 2992 at 11:00 pm.

Sorry about confusion of message but still getting hang of copy and paste, and modifing replies. Bird Fan, all the time. Joe Otto still not sure what caps are supposed to be. Kol, no cable nut settings at all.

To be specific the SG optimizer settings. Actually before I did the system recovery a couple off days ago I was unsure of whether or not the settings would stick or not. But come to find out I had not used the reverands settings correctly anyway. But this time I did it right and found out that I was downloading about 800 and slowing down as each hour was going by. Finally I gave tech support a jingle, with her help I was only downloading about 235,247, and 295. We did a computer reconfigure and rebooted. Turned off firewall and AVG , downloads increased to 711, turned on AVG downloads to 813, firewall on 822. Said goodbye and cleaned cookies and files and cleared history, 833. Everything was systems go. :haha: ;) Back to testmy.net and here they are clean and simple. So sometimes the simple things in life are just that. Now some of you may think this a little wierd but the Rev. did say to say a little prayer and go. It worked. Now I did not set my latency pings to direcway because they do not need to know!!
