Hey DS,

You asked:

What about the ping thingy?


I have no idea. The specs are copy n paste
(I copied the whole page...).

[Dark Star]

Looking at:

Avg ping............. 0ms
Ping loss.............100%

on this machine, using Z/A and proxy server (Guidescope)

and your's:

Average Ping 221 ms
Ping Loss 0%

is the "thingy" I was wondering about

DS

[MacFromOK]

Maybe one of these tech guys can explain it.

BrianF? You listening, ya old geezer?

The best I can get out of the "e" slug is 278. I added 128MB Ram
and according to the test it is still recommending more and subtracting points for it. Oh well!
As for the pic business I meant inseting into the body is when I get the message not attaching.

Means your firewall is apparently blocking the return ping or the PC Pitstop site is being overloaded with all of us accessing it.
Here is mine:

Description Your Results
Bandwidth Down 2173 Kbits/sec
Bandwidth Up 374 Kbits/sec
Average Ping 55 ms
Ping Loss 0%
TCP Receive Window (default)
External IP Address xx.xx.xx.xxx
Internal IP Address xxx.xxx.x.xxx
Browser MSIE 5.5; Win 9x 4.90
IE current cache 1 MB
IE max cache 25 MB

Also I agree with all you guys......the PC's are performing well
considering there configuration so thats where it stays.

Thanks guys,

"Means your firewall is apparently blocking the return ping or the PC Pitstop site is being overloaded with all of us accessing it."

The latter I think, maybe we ought to leave em alone for a while huh? I bet they just love you Rhett.
I was gonna give them this thread so when you go back in they can be ready with a special treat just for 'ya.......just kiddin.

Dark Star, gosh, and I was going to E-Mail them and see if I couldn't get them to send some money to Tech Guy for the free advertising, I will probably get banned instead !

Davey, tested the E Mach..500 Celeron ..64 megs.. got a 178, haven't tweaked it yet, only so many hrs in a day, and I have wasted a few today doing this, so , I will take a break, you know,15 minutes to eat and visit with the family, and then get back on it ...Rett

[Dark Star]

Rett,

I know, I know......It's just that collectively we held their heads underwater for so dang long that they were begging for fresh air......

If they ask me, I'll tell em I don't know nothin"

OK, we had fun with that one, how about this:

A small program (under 1 meg ) that will benchmark your system, compare it to random others, and give you virtualy all the information you will ever need about your system !

I got it , ran add-aware, and have used it, does what it says it will, NO SPYWARE.

rhett,

Okay I'll play........it's downloaded now and I have it opened up and it looks really pretty and all, and I read the help and that sounds good and all..............

NOW WHERE IS THE DO IT TO IT BUTTON ?

[Davey7549]

DS
If you expand benchmarks in the left pane and click on any item you will see a start button upper right appear.
Have not set mine yet since I have to run.
Let me know how it worked for you.
The documentation is very limited if any!

Hi guys, gave ya that post this morning and then went to work, sorry to leave you up in the air, you can also double-click any of the Icons to pull them up and start them the same way, seems like a handy tool if you need to know a serial # or a manifacturer of any of your system parts. Seems usefull, although about 1/2 of it WAY over my head
I didn't want to post it in a new thread till "we" see if it's worth it...Rhett

[brianF]

I downloaded it and played for a few minutes.

Gotta wonder, the cpu benchmark showed my overclocked P3 850 kickin the crap out of a P4 1.6 gig, gotta make ya wonder

[rhettman5]

So , either you have a super system, or the test is bogus ? I have noticed it is good for finding other info, as this is a compaq store bought, lots of the hardware info is hard to find, seems easy to get it from this.

How about some other results guys, this comp has a p3 @ 700 mhz and it showed a slightly slower benchmark than a celeron 700 and, ?, does it matter what is running when you test, cause I had tons of things going....Rhett

[brianF]

I had my quake server and IE running in the backgroun on the first test. Shut them down and ran it again, just about the same, couple points.

It does show a lot of hardware info, and viewing system files is easy. Especially the ever elusive boot.ini.

[rhettman5]

Well , I shut some things down and now at least I beat the celeron . ...phew...Rhett
