Ha lets put our pc specs here/discuss em  .

I'm currently running:

AMD64 x2 4200+

1 GB DDR2 800 ram

GeForce 7900 GTS 512 MB video ram

on board sound

Windows XP MCE (waiting till I upgrade to 2 GB ram for vista)

160 GB HD

Wow that sucks well I don't think I'd ever use VOIP and if so I'd go with...VONAGE 

Wish I had comcast in my area 

I liked it had some good character development...but it wasn't nearly as good as I thought it would be...and venom dying? HA!

Mmm I miss my old 9 meg line XD.

Ok my old computer I had before I moved  was a amd 3000+ 1 gb ram and an ATI X1800 ( I beleive) with 512 mb of video ram and it ran fine just as well as XP did (startup time of the OS faster startup time of the programs the same gaming went just the same etc) and later I added a 2gb flash drive as windows ready boost and performance way out beat XP (got the drive on sell for 20$ at fry's electronics).

Now my dad bought himself a new PC from emachines (crap I know >.<) with a intel pentium D 3.2 ghz 512 mb of ram onboard video and home basic and it was CRAP. Startup time was slow programs always acted weird  programs took forever to start gaming was impossible.

So I'd say as long as you got 1 gb of ram and the video card to handle aero you'll be happy (2gb of ram or windows ready boost doesn't hurt though).

Hmmm almost sounds like a virus but I'm not sure someone else ere can help you out though I'm sure. Try running a virus scan is my only advice 

Yea alot of DDR ram is backwards compatible so there's a good chance if you buy a DDR faster than your 400 it'll work (not guaranteing it though)

17 here 

Yea back when I lived with my aunt and had windows vista right before I moved out I put in a 2 gb flash drive and ready boosted it, I only had 1gb normal ram so I noticed quite a big performance diferance especialy with startup.

Never mind I just found a permanent (or at least semi permanent) place to live and I am applying around for a job so hopefully everything will work out.

I got kicked outa my aunt's house to and that's the only family I have that I could live with and I tried talking with my mom already got me no where 

Hi I've been talking on TMN for a while but not lately due to problems but I just recently got kicked out of my moms house (just turned 17 a few weeks ago) and I am almost homeless I can stay with my friend (who's computer I'm currently using) for a week or so but not much more. I have gone to many local agency's about independent/group living etc and havn't had much help and web searches  havn't turned up much help. Does anyone know of some state (CA/AZ) or federal programs that could help me?

No it's not brand name and I took off the cover (it's onboard sound) but couldn't find anything anywhere he bought the computer from a local computer store that closed down a few months ago and unfortunatly lost the driver disk it came with.

I'm doing free computer work for my friend and I reinstalled XP on his system but he lost the driver disk his computer came with it found all his hardware though except his motherboard sound card. Is there any sight I can goto or program I can use that can tell me the name of unknown hardware so I could go to their website and download the drivers for it? 

Like about the north korea thing is it like a school block thing where it just doesn't let you in or is it just illegal to view an american site?

I got home premium  but I wish I had ultimate.

i dont know..i started to use photoshop in my free time and than i just learned i guess.

i just made this one cause i wanted to try out popout sigs =]

that's all for now. i got a couple requests i have to fill 

i think the one with the guy from 300 is the best one i made

I like them all but the one I quoted is the best 

My cousin has a dell that's about a year old forgot what model exactly but  it runs great and the only time he had to call costumer support they were really helpful and actually seemed like they knew what they were talking about.

im sure that most of us do something even small things that are illegal to an extent..... 

Yea of course but I'd never admit to any of mine 

Since this system is added into your path to the Internet it is costly and limited. FAP isn't horrible unless you don't want to share with others paying for the same service. And face it, the plans are rated for your needs, but to get more you need to pay more. You consider it sub-par, as compared to what (sat providers only)? Look at it this way, If Sat Internet wasn't there who would be sub-par then? 

You don't think there is overhead to put this bird up? I wouldn't send one up unless there is a large enough customer base to help offset the cost. And unless your a new subscriber I don't see Hughes giving us a free re-point to the new bird since were already paying and in the system, plus, no matter what, Hughes still maintains a trunk line to each NOC. As for FAP, it will still be used, not easy to add bandwidth to a satellite when used up. And I think somewhere down the line everyone with Hughes will be using a 7000 modem, or something newer. So there are 2 choices if one needs more bandwidth, pay for a higher plan or move to where you can get the connection. 

Exactly what I would have said well not exactly but same meanining 

More than slightly illegal 

wireless doesnt seem to really affect me that much. speeds are fairly good for going through wireless router.

btw the router and adapter are half way across the house and seperted by 1 floor.

Oh wireless isn't bad but my wireless card is like 2 years old and was considered cheap even back when we bought it but lately I've been getting upwards of 5 megs on it so that's good.

I ve able push up a upper limit to 16 Megabytes while window scaling is on so i been seeing steadying at 20Mbps range that really works very well!

And I'm on Cox premier service

Wow....pretty damn good 

Maybe your network card is bad? maybe they're having troubles on their servers? Try giving your ISP a call and see if anythings up on their side.
