  1. Yeah, Were gonna get the Comcast HD Cable box w/ the DVR.

    Hope you have better luck than I did. Took Comcast 6 try to get my digital cable to work.

    First try- tech come out check line,said I need a new line from box on side of Apt. building low signal to TV.

    Second try -Private contractor come out said I do not need a new line.Play with something in outside box Works for about 3 hours.

    Third try nobody show ups.No record of my appointment.

    Forth try-Another tech come out check everything,Said I need a new line Low signal.

    Fifth try -It snow that day Private contractor could not put new line in ground :sad:

    Sixth try-Findly got new line in Digital cable  works now.

    Make sure they check all of your connection ends,It make a big different in the picture when you have digital cable. I don't even have a HD box. :sad:

    The best picture I get is from a $5.99 pair of rabbit ears. Local station have over the air  HD.

  2. What are your temp when you push it. Guess it time to play with the video card now. Remember raise it a little bit at a time,then run 3Dmark06 and look for artifacting. Make sure you do not check the start with windows box till you are sure that the video overclock is good,that way if it lock up the computer are you have to do is reboot.

  3. I use the BIOS to overclock my computer.As far as I know that is what most people recommend.

    To overclock my video card I use RivaTuner .not sure if it works with Vista. You can also use ntune or coolbit to overclock your video card. Remember to only raise it up a little bit at a time and watch the CPU temps.

  4. I think it is easy to use. Like a lot of other firewall your have to give permission for firefox or IE or any other program to enter the internet,but if you check the [remember my answer for  this application box ] you only have to do it once.The only problem I every had with this firewall is with gaming. Some game will not let you out of the game to give it permission to enter the internet. I usually just shut it off before I start playing those game.

  5. I have Comcast cable so I do not know the anwser to your first question.

    This is what FTP means.

    Short for File Transfer Protocol, the protocol for exchanging files over the Internet. FTP works in the same way as HTTP for transferring Web pages from a server to a user's browser and SMTP for transferring electronic mail across the Internet in that, like these technologies, FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable data transfer.

    FTP is most commonly used to download a file from a server using the Internet or to upload a file to a server (e.g., uploading a Web page file to a server)

  6. Thanks for the reply. I just try it, but it a bad time of the day to do a speed test on the east coast.One time I got 9783 than 8721 than 6378.I will try again later. What I am trying to do is get a dual test so I can change my sig from two boxes to one box. Thanks again.
