I just did the math, I see. They must think we're dumb.

I have an Emachines T1120 and an old Toshiba Satellite laptop that I'm trying setup for my old DOS and Windows 3.x games.

lol, that sounds funny. Like helloimtim said it could be a prank. I could also be a virus.

How do you figure that? Both tiers are increased by the same amount, 2Mb.

From the Comcast forums:

Cool. That means you're now on the 8Mb plan.

You're not the only one. Damn that dumb Altaviata Bablefish. Didn't work. lol

I only play pc games online. Yahoo! Games, Shockwave and such, not games on cd's.

I don't like playing complex games on a PC, because it's more likely to crash than on a console, and the keyboard isn't always a good controller. My Xbox has frozen before though. Only on one game though.

(sadly) to M$'s defense, they already had a online mapping service before Google. Terra Server USA. I don't think it's related to terraserver.com

Not to mention, how many monitors can display that size image? lol

Cablenut has more settings than TCPOptimizer. Read this topic for more info.

Cool. Maybe I'll buy it when I save enough money to build a computer. Also, just as I thought, it's OEM.

You should be able to disable it somewhere in the settings.

I've used the Alexa toolbar on IE for a while. I use FF now, so I haven't used it in a while. I've had no problems with it. Yes, I am aware that Alexa collects data. How else would they be able to rank web sites? But Gator/Gain/Claria is much worse. It sometimes installs without you even knowing. And /G/G/C collects a lot of personal info. Not to mention, PcWorld, Cnet, etc. all really frown upon Claria.

welcome to the site, cutekangroo. Are you talking about the $10 extra a month plan? If so, Comcast is in the process of another upgrade. Read here for more info. 4Mb/384Kb now 6Mb/0384Kb 6Mb/768Kb now 8Mb/768kb

Welcome to the site, alex Yes, Comcast did upgrade their speeds. The upgrade is officially complete in ME, MA and NH so far. You are now on the 6Mb/384Kb plan. Read here for more info.

Nice speeds.

I thought Mediacenter edition only came with a new computer? I believe XP Pro has more user management functions, e.g.: It's more like Windows NT.

Alexa and Gator aren't related. Gator is now Gain/Claria.

Graphics don't make the game. Some games are more confusing than they used to be. There are so many controls for one game, it's easy to get confused. IMO, game makers these days care more about the looks rather than gameplay.

Another way to access those settings, is to go to the Control Panel and click on Display. Hopefully that works.

I think he's talking about setting the memory amount in the system.ini file, like in win 3.x. Whether it works or not, I doub't it, but I haven't tried it so I don't know.
