tbaker397 Posted August 24, 2005 CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 Due to me being kind of lazy and what not, I am thinking about formatting my PC(again) to get better speeds, because my line is fine, its just my PC. I don't have any important documents(school hasn't started yet), only thing is a few ripped CD's and my napster songs which can be redownloaded. I was careless last time. So, do you guys think I should, or shouldn't I. I don't think I should because the only thing I am missing is the 500+ kb/s download speeds, but I would like people's feed back on the matter. Oh, I don't download much stuff, but I do like the spees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted August 24, 2005 CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 well i would try restoring all as default before a format, but format computer once a year is not a bad thing to get it running smooth. to get windows default TCP settings, just open cablenut and click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry and reboot VanBuren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
