Pretty good. Are you testing with using a N or G router? Here is testing from my iPhone 4 on a G router almost maxing my connection :::..

AT&T's HSPA 7.2 is working its way up the state so in some areas I can get really nice 3G results. The fastest I've seen is 5.4 Mbps.

Sounds to me like Cox Power Boost. If it is you will never get a consistent speedtest result because the "boost" is dependent on extra available network capacity.

Just to let you know, Safari is powered by Web-Kit which is more open source then firefox. And just because firefox may score higher in a download and upload test doesn't make it better. Firefox still benchmarks slower then Safari and Chrome. Even in Firefox 4, they still don't score 100/100 on acid 3.

LOL, you spent 18 hours doing something that should take 30 seconds? What command did you use?

Not trying to turn this into a Mac vs. PC thing but if you were to actually look at a Mac long and hard you would see that for what you get it really doesn't cost that much. Take the 27" iMac for example the display alone costs $1099 http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=224-8284&~ck=bn&~bk=gr:CategoryRec,g:NextStep,rk: and Apple only charges $1699 for the display with the computer.

Use the one built into Windows, or open a command prompt and use FDISK.

Its not just the amount of pixels on the screen. Its the Pixels Per Inch that make the real difference. Your display has only about 80,000 pixels per inch, this one has over 136,000 pixels per inch, it just makes everything look so much better... Here are some pictures of where the magic happens, including the temps I'm getting, which are actually really cool for being only about an inch thick.

So I was in the need for some more screen real-estate and I was debating on just getting a seconds 24in monitor for my Mac Pro. The only problem is I would have to buy 2 new monitors at the same time because I would want them to match an it would be about $1000 for both and I really didn't want to have 2 monitors, I really need higher res. on one monitor. I was looking at this 3.5K display http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=224-8284 but for that amount of money I can almost get a new computer with that display. So I ended up just selling my mac pro and I bought a 27in Core i7 iMac. Specs: 2.8 Ghz Core i7 4 GB Ram (4GB more on order.) 1 TB Hard Drive ATI 4850 512MB 27in Display 2560 x 1440 I've only been using it for a few hours, but this thing is fucking fast and I can only imagine that it will get faster once I get the extra 4GB of ram I ordered. This thing is all SCREEN. I had to push it back on my desk because it is so damn big lol.... The 2560x1440 resolution makes a huge difference I can see so much more when working in photoshop, I can fit almost 3 full websites across the screen at one time. Photos are absolutely stunning on the IPS display, even better then the $1200 displays I have at work. I will post some pictures later when I get everything else setup and clean up the mess I made around here.

That is not exactly the greatest cable modem. While it supports up to 160 Mbps DOCSIS 3, the WAN is only 10/100 Mbps. You want to get one that has a 10/100/1000 WAN. 100 Mbps + tiers are coming shortly from comcast and others already have them.

Since its not really fiber, but rather FTTN, 100/60 is going to be hard for them to push reliably over any great distance with VDSL2. Your gonna have to be insanely close to the VRAD after 1500 feet or so VDSL2 wont be able to push anything faster then 100 Mbps. Maybe if AT&T or someone finally gets line bonding working in the field then this might be possible.

They say that, but if you know how to talk to them you can get them to replace it for just one pixel. One pixel is enough to destroy the display.

Dead pixels usually happen at the manufacture. It's just something that happens, but is pretty rare now. It use to happen a lot. Heat is one thing that will cause it. Those pixel things that just put a bunch of noise on the screen will never fix a dead pixel, and will hardly ever fix a stuck pixel. It's most likely nothing your doing, unless there is some kind of heat source around the display. You just have to check right away. The first thing I do when ever I get any kind of new computer is go over the screen, look for dead pixels, and do color correction, if its not up to my standard it goes back to the store. But it has to be done right away, with in about an hour.

Thats because the difference between 266 DDR and 333 DDR is minimal. But going from 800 MHz to 533 MHz DDR2 its a quite a bit bigger difference and its not just the MHz rating that factored into it.

Its either going to work or its not. But it wont Blow anything up. The only reason it may not work is because its 4200 DDR2. I've seen a lot of computers not work with slower DDR2. The Cut off was 5300, with 800 MHz ram. But it can't hurt to try. Just to add. You probably will notice a performance difference with memory intensive apps.

Maybe you should just listen more often. You know, open up be the sensitive type. then maybe you might have a better experience when talking to your self. lol...

When I was in school all we had for the most part was dell optiplex 240's and 260's. As long as the drive you bought is IDE it should work with no problem. A SATA drive will not.

Finally getting around to posting this. :::..

Well they market it as fiber even tho its not. They use VDSL2 for that plan.

Yes/No.... Using something thats 11 inches corner to corner won't make a very good phone, and probably wouldn't make you look very good holding that up to your face for a phone call. But since it does have a Mic, headphone jack, and bluetooth you could use skype on it for phone calls.

Just got upgraded today, went from 12 Mbps download and 1.5 Mbps upload to 24 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. I don't really care much or the extra download, its nice to have but doesn't really help me all that much. I was more intersted in having the extra upload speed. :::..

You don't have to switch providers for the iPad, you don't even have to sign a contact or even talk to AT&T. It doesn't even have to be through AT&T since a 3G iPad comes unlocked. They just setup a special deal with AT&T for 3G data. When you get a 3G iPad you just open a app on it, select the plan type you want and enter your payment info then the 3G connection is active. You can start it when ever you want and cancel it when ever you want. It's nothing like a phone.

Now only if they whipped up a iPad that looked a little more real...

Not till April 3rd.

Umm, you can get one with a 3G connection. Its $129 more for one with the 3G card built in, then its $15 per month for 250 MB of data or $30 per month with unlimited data, no contact, cancel anytime.

So the iPad comes out in about 10 days, and I was curious who here is going to be getting one? For anyone who doesn't know what a iPad is check here http://www.apple.com/ipad/
