Thanks hello I believe I have found my problem :evil: you guys read this and tell me how much of our own computers we really do own, or is this for our protection or should I quit paying for anti every &*9#w thing virus spyware programs or just give it to the*^% Hackers and let them hack each other forgive me for losing it but here it is Internet Explorer Local Machine Zone Lockdown What Does Local Machine Zone Lockdown do? When Internet Explorer opens a Web page, it places restrictions on what the page can do, based on the page

no one want's to touch this one huh :D guess I will have to go to Uncle Bill's and read :cry:

O btw I forgot to add that I do not have that problem with FF

I am having a problem with launching links from our site that other people put in their topics like msnbc or other sites and I have try to adjust just about all of the internet options I can but to no avail the window comes up and then it dissapears and a sound will be given like it was blocked by the popup blocker but the popup blocker is turned off can any one help p.s. forgive my spelling , spellcheck does'nt work either :(

Welcome As I have been following the topic line there was one question that was'nt answered. Cost how much do you expect to put into your system that you are going to build. Thanks Fred

Let us not forget the private sector and it's contribution's they are in competition with nasa and it will help keep down the cost, but how ever nasa has developed a majority of the technology that put the private sector where it is at today, now this statement may sound like double talk but the point I was trying to make is that nasa needs competition to help keep down the cost and two heads are better than one even if one is a goat's head

and to determine how much ram you are using go to tweak now.com and download their utility called ram idle

(As milchama mentioned there becomes a point that a new cpu is needed. If you are going to do a new system to day say based on an AMD 64 bit cpu. The difference between the processors, 3000 v 3200, is between 10%- 20%. Which mean that you pay more for the 3200 but you really never see the extra speed. However, RAM... you put an extra 512mb in your system you will see performance difference.. you can store more which means that less hard drive access. Having to go to the hard drive for information is a performance killer! Now if you have 2 gigs in a 650MHz computer it is time for you to upgrade. If you have a Athlon 64 2800+ with 512mb of ram.. and you think your system is "slow" i would recommend the memory upgrade. If you are going to build a system.. Unless you have to have the latest chip and are using money that you really should you for ram.. I would get the one below the processor and get more memory.. If you are looking to upgrade your system.. Unless you have at least 400-500 bucks dont wasted your time.. You are going to have to get a processor, motherboard, and memory..) that was a quote from one of our mods that has been here for a long time, your question was answered before you asked it :D Fred

How's it go swimmer That was the point I was trying to elude to, as in engine building there is no replacement for cubic inch displacement, which is equal to ram in my uneducated mind, it always boils down to cost :D

Hey Boss the only problem that I have noticed is with some of the mirror sites. my down's are a little off from our home server in other words they are not consistant. maybe it is supposed to be that way because of traffic or distance any way I would not be testing here if they were not accurate and consistant :D Fred

remember that ram is to speed as cubic inch displacement is to horse power in other words ram is one of the more important factors in computer building as is bore x stroke is to cubic inch configuration in engine building, they are both needed for power and that my dear Mr's. and Mrs's.is my take on this survey. More is always better in this particular instance. p.s. Good question how about this one? Ram power vs Processor power where does that equation stand in the mix of things and which one has more importance?

BTW, I have adsl and it is vulnerable!

Good a.m., Try to figure out your max mtu with being able to ping your ISP. My ISP has their ICMP echo turned off as not to get anyDoS attacks

Congrats Boss, I have watched this site grow like a child and have met a lot of neat ppls you included and I just want to say THANKS :D keep on growing and we will see a listing on the big board Let's go public :D :D

Thank's KK, I have been here for quite a long time and it is good to know that newiebe's say things like, I would just like to say I thoroughly enjoy this site.......I haven't used thePM or anything, just posted some stuff in the forums, but man did I ever get help!!!! Never got as many people trying to help me at any other sites as I did here, and nice people too, not those " I know more than you so go ahead and bore me with your stupid cry for help" kind of people. I just want to say thanx for all the help and I will be coming here for good from now on. YOU GUYS ROCK, You will find a lot of combined wisdom on these pages. Thank's Fred

That my dear sir is a good question me thinks I am just letting off steam thanks for asking s1.

besides all this with my machine I've been under the weather and really don't feel like @#$% with this thing because I know it is going to be something that uncle bill will probally have to get involved with because I just upgraded to win xp thanks Fred

thank you s1. for your reply however this net work that I am on is really screwed up they have their icmp ping turned off because they have been getting (DOS) attacks and won't turn it back on I don't know any more van the man set me up with some rwin for my particular ? however it behaved in the same way behind the firewall it is crazy

now here is one that is in bounds for the speeds

well to start off with I can't understand why this would be happening I test with my firewall up and get these kind of speeds and I take it down and get just awful speeds :::..
