Does anyone have a 1MB down/512KB up cablenut file?  Right now I am using the 1MB/384KB file.

Here are my stats:

Yeah it is slow compared to the major broadband cable providers and way overpriced. 

They had 3 packages:

256K, 512K, and 1MB.

Yeah, I know I am getting reamed on the price.  The reason for the downgrade is that I moved from my apartment in Dallas to a suburb of Dallas, and this is the only company that provides broadband service to the complex besides DSL and I don't want a phone line. 

I pay 49.95 a month for 1MB/512KB.

I went from 6MB Comcast to this:

Isn't that dangerous?

From what I understand, it is not a hard thing to do, but I could have read wrong.  Regardless I will stick with the GT and not go for the GTX.

sounds sweet, what OS, and what will you be using it for?

I will be using XP Pro until x64 gets better support.  Mostly will be used for gaming/music/video/general fun.

Yeah, I realize that, I just wanted some comments or suggestions.

I am building a computer and wanted you guys to tell me what you think. Everything is still up in the air except the case, which I already have. The video card will be the last thing I buy.  The overclocking will all be done on air cooling, and I don't plan to go water anytime soon.  I will run it basically stock for awhile and then turn it up a bit, but not too much.

Case - ASPIRE X-Navigator ATXA8NW-SS/500 Silver Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Motherboard - ASUS A8N-SLI Premium ATX AMD Motherboard - The Asus board is for small to decent overclocks with good stability and the DFI board is for extreme tweaker and overclockers.  I wanted something more stable and with less headaches.

Processor - AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor (Venice) - Seems to be at a good price point for me, and I can overclock to 3800+, etc. speeds. 

Memory - OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory - I am going to stick with the 1GB for now and not get another 1GB until I feel I really need it.

Video Card - eVGA Geforce 7800GT 256-P2-N515-AX Desktop PC - Overclocked to GTX speeds.

Harddrive - 1x Western Digital Raptor 74GB 3.5" Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - I will use my current 120GB WD for storage.

I am pretty sure she told me 1MB.

They had three package starting at 256K, 512K, and then the 'professional' at 1MB down and 1MB up.

From their website:

We provide a 1Mb symmetrical connection, which is much faster than other broadband providers who only offer around 256K

I am moving in a month and the apartment complex has BDRBroadband and they only offer a 1MB download connection.

Sucks so bad.

My speeds are still pretty low.  They are averaging at 3.9 or 4.0 MB down.

I can always just redo and rehost my personal website from there, comcast only gives a 10MB limit, and with this computer I have GBs of space so I could experiment with flash, some java scripts, lots of fun stuff.

Yeah I know, upload is the suxor.

My FTP server will do pretty much everything I need  (IE access files for work when I am out of state etc.), but I thought it would be nice to dabble in apache and see what I could come up with.
