Currently you can get cheap RAM to equal 2GB pretty easy, but if you get 1GB of GOOD RAM you can get better perfomance than you would out of the cheap stuff. People don't realise this.

So now you guy's wanna debate whats good ram and whats not?

Here's Mine in gold



P.S. Stock on my Mobo is 2.6v

$200 for 2gig .. thats peanuts .. I know people that spend that at the bar or golf course every month. Or interest on their credit card...

I don't tweak, I do however hack. Good sites for hacking are Beemer's and WinT.

I love the way different issues arise as a topic gets discussed. Didn't know about CCleaner until Kenny94 mentioned it. What a stunning piece of freeware, installed in a trice & up & running. A donation will be on its way asap, this quality product deserves our support. Sincere thanks K94.

If you like Crap Cleaner try this one out.

RegSeeker

Another keeper for sure

Didn't mean to hijack the thread..
My Apologies

I don't think so .. I have been runnin PC Pitstop for the bandwidth tests and they never change. I bet their is somethin I can do .. just haven't had the time nor inkling to mess with it to much yet.

I thought you might have a secret method or somthin

Thanks Anyways

Try CableNut (make sure you get the update package aswell), this is a good optimising program. Also, if you run WinXP SP2, there is a hack you can use whoch allows more tcp traffic in which sp2 blocks unlike in sp1 and before. links:

Late,

Thanks..I really appreciate the suggestions.

I'm patched for the TCP limit and have tried CableNut. I just haven't noticed any increase. I'm supposed to have a 3meg connection .. everytime I check it's different but in the same relm. It just hovers between 2.4 and 2.8 approx.

[AvvY]

Not a problem. Have you rebooted since adding the changes? If you have a 3Mbit connection and get 2.4-2.8Mbit, that isn't too bad. You will *never* get a full 3Mbit connection, unless you are connecting to a specific server closeby. What site are you trying to ping when doing the tests? Post back a full log of the results from the test.

Late,

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks again.

I'll try and play with it tommorrow since thats my day off. I don't remeber what the specfics are all I know is I was getting tired of all those TCP errors in the event viewer so I patched that with a couple things. I still get them once in awhile but not like before.

I must say .. I'm at work and supposadly have T1 access.

My connection at home is faster

Or maybe it's the computer ??

I've only had cable for about 6 months so anything better than 48k is awesome

I'll try and get to it tommorrow.

Have a good one and thanks again

Might be worth checking this site if you haven't already seen it:

That site looks really cool .. Thanks

One Problem. I don't have any ability to run any sorta Java on my home computer. I ripped that out along time ago and never really felt the need to re-enable it.

I'll give it a shot when I get home. Here is the results from this so called T1 connection.

Looking good

Good data stream (no/few rexmits)

Notes and recommendations:
Become pingable
if you need basic packet loss tests done
Check tweak FAQ

You may have a T1 connection at work, but I bet that is over a fairly large network, with many computers/clients, all accessing the connection at one time, which means that you will only be getting a portion of the T1 connection speed. It is like that at my school too.

I haven't used a tweaker for xp pro for ages ,but my favorite one is Xteq X-Setup
