Lobo, got a question/statement.

[HalfLifer]

CPU MHZ has nothing to do with the speed of someones service.

I download the same on my Pentium 2 400mhz as my Duron 800. Or my old 486. Sure a 400mhz can process info faster, but when downloading, it wont mean much.

Your past expereicnes, how did a faster cpu make a faster connection?

Your such a prick halflifer.

My old 486 could download at the same speed as my duron 800.

Care to backup that statement? Or are you just going to spew crap you don't understand like usual?

At least Lobo makes a difference on this board. Your just a waste of hard drive space.

I do infact have an old 486. Its on my lan running win95. I can download at the same speed as the duron in my room. Im not trying to be a prick, just pointing this out.

Oh, I didnt know life was a hd :p

No but the forums are...


I see you edited your post to reflect a more mature nature. You can't certainly think that little 486 (with probably a isa or onboard ethernet adapater, some 486 systems have pci slots.) across the lan/wan is going to be able to process as much as data as a duron 800. The plain fact that the system has a 486 with old hardware will make it slower. It is only logical. I feel a p100 > above would be the min for fast cable access. @home won't even mess with old p100 type systems (at least not here) you need a p133 or better with win95. I've had many people I've talked to with lower end p100 type systems always bitch about how slow everything was. They updated their system and saw how great it was. Now does a 333mhz and 800mhz cpu matter in pure internet speed? Probably not. This is why I got the Netgear it has a really fast processor in it other routers had lower end processors (like 486s, I know most routers use some form of RISC processor but that was just making a point) that were slower.

lol you called him a prick

LObo, Sorry but halflife is right. My son has a 1gig Processer.Tweak to the max. I have a 550 and a 200. They are all tweak to. They all get the same speeds. The processer will not change your providers speed. Just windows. It has nothing to do with what your provider allows you to have. If this was the case people with these new proceser would not need to come to this board for help on getting speed, They should be flying already.
No offense! ;) And Cablenut.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion,
I believe alot of things matter CPU size included. If you had a very small CPU which could not handle the amount of data being transfered, I believe it would slow down the download to what the CPU could process. If I give out other RWIN's it is for people to try, it is not manditory, just a starting point and they may set it wherever they want,
I have not had any problems yet, but probably will, just trying to help people out
but in the end it is up to them to decide what they want, what I would really like to see is a nice tool, so people could edit things in there registry without having to go in there, I saw one but can't remember where. :)

I agree with Lobo on this one... My wife's 750 Cpu Pc downloads much faster than My 400 CPU. and to top it off... She has a USB adapter. I have a nic card.
We use the same Modem, same service. but we are not networked.. we just swap the Cat-5 cable at the modem. :)

[HalfLifer]

Lobo said I spam? LMAO!

You're the king of spam bro :)

And no, cpu mhz has no affect on speed of download. My old 486 could download at the same speed as my duron 800.

I can't beleave you went there with that.. Are you saying everyone has managed network cards.
What makes up Latency Uhm Ping, Slow harddrive, Small CPU, Network card with poor managment or none at all. Lobo ends up giving out Rwins to help with there connections its his fast way of getting a alternative to the other Rwins posted in the tweak test, because everyones connection is different and not all Rwins work the same for everyone. I would have thought you would have figured this out by now.
Whats this stuff about spam ah forget it, only you know for sure I guess.
I only posted here to make it a little clearer for you. If you missed Cablenuts point on it.
Storm ;) Its right and wrong but its not a bad alternative if you think about it. If it works they come back and tell Lobo thanks if it Don't then they usually ask why :) :( Ying and Yang..

I agree with Lobo abou the fact that speed of processor definitely makes a difference on downloads and web page viewing because at my school they have pentium II 400
networked to a T1 Line. Then recently they got some pentium 800mhz. The 400mhzs usually can download at 60k+ at all times, and it takes 5+ seconds to open a web page. With the new 800mhzs the downloads are always at least 120K when downloading. Opening pages is instant. There is absolutely no wait to open pages ever!
