Is it nessary? nope.. nor is a 10000rpm Raptor drive.... it is just cool to say that you have one.... I do know that Dell has begun to put it in its high end systems... However, the mid end system has AGP-Pro.. One of my dorm buddies just bought an evga.com 6800 GT based on AGP... It is just cool as hell.. If we look at SATA and ATA i would say that less than 15% of current manufactured computer have sata. I know that SATA will eventually dominate the market. However, with the computer boom that was in the late 90s and early 00s all of those are AGP equiped and it would be a major mistake for the card manufactures because that would require everyone to upgrade just to use SATA and PCI-E... So in the end PCI-E is going to be a good thing.. it is just going to need some time to get into the mainstream... I still know people who are running 900mhz athlons with pc133 ram... It is just nuts... I dont see them dropping 1200 for a system bases on a platform that has PCI-E... It might become afordable when the new Nvidia board with PCI-E comes out... If AGP was going to have a short life then it wouldnt make sense for Nvidia or ATI to put all the money into developing it into 2 different platforms.. they must think that there is some value in developing for both.. However, I will admit that Nvidia is trying to make the mainstream PCI-E.. the 6600 is going to push the manufactures to go with the PCI-E as their graphics bus...

that does suck the big one... looks like your ISP saw your adnormal upload.. just let it go and maybe they will be nice one day and return your "normal" speed?

yeah that is a possibility... I was told that in an eariler version of this site... That was long ago before you joined.. This verison of the forum might find the spiders and not count them.. I dont know 30 guests doesnt seem unresonable to me..

I still remember the good old days.. the day with the blue and gold design scheme..

try tweaking your connection.. i have comcast in IL and I got mine up to 4200 on the 3000/256 package... there is a lot of extra bandwidth lying around on that service...

my guess is that the congestion will be fixed.. sooner or later..

that is a good speed.. Like your site! Welcome to the forum!

Here is an idea... Wireless works on a line of site when it comes to long distance.. how far are we talking about? One think that you could try is to build an onmi directional antenna and then aim it at the service.. this is some thing that war drivers do all of the time... the only problem would be the speed factor... and distance.. you could then mount it using pcv pipe or something on the top of your roof.. I will try and find the site that had a bunch of article on how to build high powered antennas.. Here is a good article.. http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Airport/Primestar/Primestar.html 10 mile range (line of site) with this version..

Linux might be a bit faster.. It is a less complex os than XP... I would think that it would be about 100 to 300k faster...

Here is what CA3LE told me a while about guests.. Search engines send out spiders to map new parts of sites.. so like 10-15 could be that.. mapping the new posts and the changes he has made to his site... The other could just be people looking at the site in general... There are normally 100 or so people testing.. so they come in here and look at the scores to see what they compair to and how to make it faster...

not going to help.. at all. The main thing that dial up depends on is the quality of your phone line leaving you house into the phone system... with a filter you are filtering the intenal stuff but not the external.. There isnt much you can do with dial up.. it is just a dying technology.

But for agp to become extinct we need a huge development to remove a bunch of bottlenecks in the motherboard itself.. AGP will live on.. PCI-E is just a way for manufactures to get people to pay more money that in the future, 3 to 5 years, you will need to have to play the newest games on the highest settings... I think that the first true PCI-E card is the 6600 from Nvidia.. It will not be released on AGP.. I dont know what ATI's line is currently doing..

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..

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..

if your other computer is running bit torrent and he has it set to make most of the bandwidth for upload/download that would explain it all...

new modem good.. no router bad...

Linksys.. Everyone who i talk to says "o linksys.. I never have problems with them... and dlink is crap" Well looks like it is having a problem.. CA3LE is there the much difference between the motorola and the linksys modem? shouldnt the speeds be closer than that?

I have heard about this as a posibility.. I do know that they powerline networking just got approved to 55mb i think.. They have also come out with a 200mb AV version.. Here is the article that i remember.. http://www.tomsnetworking.com/News_story_559.php I havent heard anything since..

Welcome! we have quite a crew here.. good times and tons of funny posts..

My best guess is that Windows 95 isnt playing fair.. As far as I know 95 want meant to be a network os. I think that 98 was the first os that was designed to be connected to a network.. at least for the consumer.

that really sucks! he was an awesome guy..

Great SIG!

HUH? If you run the internet in to a server, then into your network and plug it into you network.. you have just made that server local.. meaning that if you do get something on that machine or some one is able to hack to the rest of you network... Meaning if something gets though you nortan.. which does happen some times.. you have basically no defense.. assuming that you are running nortan on the network.. however, if you have DMZ it is placed outside of you network.. meaning that it isnt local.. and if you do get something then it will not be able to enter.. because you havent forwarded any ports and NAT is working.. Do you see what I am getting at? Short for demilitarized zone, a computer or small subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public Internet. so basically all servers should sit outside of the trused area and then can be referenced if need... that way you are not tracking any dirt in...

under profiles i believe it is called an avatar... find a picture resize it and then upload...

he is trying to run a server though his router.. which means that if he port forwards he is going to open his entire network for bad things when the server is pinged...
