  1. PIC-E isnt all than impressive yet.. the graphics are cool but that is about it.. We have yet to max out AGP on the current system.. I think it is a ploy for the motherboard manufactures to get more money out of us all..

    It is true that PCI-E isn't all that impressive for graphics implementations (yet) as AGP 8x seems to be fast enough to not be a bottle neck. However, gigabit ethernet seems to be an interesting implementation of this new interface. The full theoretical bandwidth of a gig connection should all but fill up a regular PCI bus, dragging anything else that is shareing the bandwidth to a crawl.

  2. the problem would be distance and frequency.. Also i am not sure when they introduce the networking compenent.. cause you have to step up the power for transmission and then step it down for the house.. so I am not sure on the technical details.. 265kb up/down isnt all that impressive..

    It is to those who are stuck on dialup/direcway!

  3. Not to discredit RTB but:

    http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/more.html#privacy

    Or more specifically:

    Privacy is compromised, however, if personal information or private email content is shared with parties other than the sender and intended recipients without their consent. This is not the case when people use Gmail. Google does not share or reveal email content or personal information with third parties. Email messages remain strictly between the sender and intended recipients, even when only one of the parties is a Gmail user.

  4. Good luck building a system like that with any kind of a budget in mind.

    Also, most of today's OSs really don't support multiple processors that well, that is unless of course you are running multiple resource demanding programs. Then assign one program to a proc and another program to another proc.

    Just wait until 1st half 2005. The Athlon 64 FX with be Dual Core. That means that a stock Athlon 64 FX will basically be two procs. Get a 4x mobo, and you will have the processing power of 8 procs :) Not to mention, 64 bit.

  5. I had a site (back when I didn't have a credit card, and couldn't pay for anything) on a free host. I remember that it was the best thing back then, because it not only had 100 MBs, but it didn't have file size limits. I have looked near and far for that site again. It probably has gone down by now...

  6. The average speed if you are thinking theoretically is indeed some where around 25 mbps.

    Usually the average cable user obtains some where between 2000-6000. This depends on your plan.

    The rule of thumb is to be within 90% of what you are paying for.

    I would check out VanBuren's tweak topic in "Make it faster" to see if you can make it faster :)

  7. Am I mistaken, or is ASP pretty much just a Microsoft thing?

    I'm sure that since Apache is open source, there is something ASP out there. Probably a directive that is already built in, knowing the versatility of Apache. Read your httpd.conf file "if you have a stock install on winblows: c:program filesapacheapache (version #)confhttpd.conf I believe. Good luck.

  8. I used to use it quite frequently when talking to a friend in Tucson. It was better quality than the phone. That company worked out some nice codecs for voice. Problem is, right now it's in beta and it's free. I have no problems with the program being in beta, but I wonder if it will be free after V.1?

  9. With Direcway, you really have to tweak: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/satellite

    (Only tweak if you have the DW4000, the DW6000 is not effectively tweakable.)

    Hopefull with a little luck your download speed will increase to about where mine is. (1500-3000 kbps depending on the time of day, and sometimes up to 6000 kbps.)

    Don't expect your upload speed to increase at all.

    How are you set up? A single computer? Multiple networked? DW6000 or 4000? OS, specs of all machines?

    Post back with this info, and I'll try to help more.
