tomsidebottom Posted April 6, 2008 CID Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi I'm new here. I have a slowness problem with both my computers. They are a bit old, but I don't think that's the issue. I'm with Virgin Media and live in Leeds. I did a speed check with this site, and the result was I have a wireless n router that came with it's own USB stick and in my laptop I'm using a PCMCIA TPLink receiver that's apparently the equivalent of G+. thanks Tom edit: title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsidebottom Posted April 7, 2008 Author CID Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for the welcome. I have two computers - both slow, but one at a time seems logical. This one is a laptop Windows XP Service packs 2 AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology MT28 1.6Ghz, 960MB ram, 60gb harddrive Internet Explorer 7 thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
