    Graphics card

    in General Help

    Posted

    You may want to check for the 6200 video card, its price is good but if you are willing to spend, try 7200 (i think it is 7200GS). more expensive but you may want to check it out.  :smiley:

    Both have 256MB vRAM

    mainstream versions of the nvidia video cards generally all perform at the same speeds, but with different added stuff such as the shader 2.0, comparatively, a Geforce 6150 is like a Geforce 2. Same goes with the other series, and since the main difference between the 6200 and 7200 is like... nothing, they're not all that different. I was just saying, if you want temporary and cheap gaming, 6600 is an alright card to buy. The one I had has lasted me all the way to Tabula Rasa preforming excellently, which came out quite recently.

    Erratic Speeds Behavior

    in Networking and Hardware

    Posted

    So, so far I couldn't find help for this using google seeing as it's a hard issue to describe for the search engine.

    Here's basically the problem...

    I have a WRT54G v3.1 wireless Router with Thibor's firmware with all its extra nice stuff (note that I've had this problem before I started using thibor's firmware!)

    And a WUSB54GS v1.0 wireless network adapter.

    The router is across the hall from me, very close and my network adapter is stationed away from the computer and any such equipment.

    The router is stashed in a little corner below my Dad's computer in the other room.

    All software, firmware, etc is up to date.

    Using Verizon FIOS on the 5 mbps speed.

    The router is set to long preamble, with channel 8 with a beacon interval of 70 and everything else default. (problem occurs when both of these settings are defaulted as well.)

    No other SSID exists on this channel.

    And I don't have any firewalls, besides NAT and what the router provides.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Now here's my problem... In the Wireless Network Connection Status panel that you can get by clicking the lil' computer at the bottom of your screen (if you have wireless) or hover over it with your mouse, the speed changes.

    The speed changes as in, one moment it can be the full 54 Mbps like it should, the next it will drop down to 5.5 Mbps and so on and so forth.

    This gives me erratic network behavior, such as slow speeds intermentent lag, etc.

    Here's a screenshot of what it looks like...

    As you can see, the signal strength is fine, but the speed is below what it should be, as I'm typing this it just jumped up back to 48 Mbps.

    If anyone has a fix for this, whether it's the position of my router vs the position of my adapter (which the router is BELOW the adapter). Please tell me.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

    A few other things, can anyone please provide me with the 'Microsoft Given' WUSB54GS v1.0 adapter driver that you can only get by having an ethernet in the computer while the network adapter is in as well with the drivers uninstalled for the adapter. Pleasee send me a link for that.

    The Microsoft version of the WUSB54GS driver provides more features such as the ability to control the Afterburners on the adapter, which if you use the right setting can give you a 3 Mbps jump in network speeds and faster loading of videos, etc.

    Linksys doesn't provide those features with their drivers unfortunately. :

    Oh yes, and sorry for the long post... I just wanted to make sure I got everything covered. :)

    Thank you!

    Eh, could be.

    I say Miranda is more accurant because you aren't lagged down by other people testing at the same time as you.

    There's not much to say after that, it's a difference that makes sense and would seem like an obvious improvement.

    Cool anti-malware EWIDO

    The point is it's faster, it just might be so that you don't have anything else that EWIDO would find and the other stuff couldn't, however for me it found what ad-aware found and more.

    I got pro, just as great as trial but with out the trial time.

    They give you a test file to show you how fast it is in detecting viruses as they come onto your computer, but AVG was able to get to it faster.

    Finally I got it!

    First thing I notice is was slower than dialup, BUT that was because of Cablenut settings which I fixed with TCP Optimizer from www.speedguide.net.

    The settings I used were 20,000 speed, for all adapters, and optimized settings, restart, excellent.

    What I got was the 5MB/s down, 2MB/s up plan.

    Here are my scores.  :)

    :::.. Download Stats ..:::

    Connection is:: 4250 Kbps about 4.3 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)

    Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

    It's not that bad at all, especially since I'm on a wireless network!

    The tech I spoke with also gave us a NICE speed checker... Yes even better than testmy, that will conserve full bandwith for specifically you giving you the real answer.

    It's really good, but you know. Testmy has the forums with all the helpful users and all that goodness. :)
