Time of day . number of people on net, hope you have alot of RAM, you have all that fancy stuff on, see XP tweaks, best performance:)

sorry i'm not lobo the reason you are getting faster resaults are due to the fact you are not using as much resources as you would with windows. That and also with dos you don't have to worry about rwin, protocol settings as much. Hoped that help. Anyone got any other ideals jump in:D

noaht1980 these tests are like any other, they will fluctuate depending on how busy their servers are, how busy your ISPs servers are and such. It also depends on how far away you are from their servers. They are more accurate than a Speakeasy test but nothing is 100% perfect. You have enough RAM although with 2K & XP the more the better.

From XP Tweaks thread:

3.) Go to control panel, system, advanced tab at top,performance, settings, click on best performance,then advanced tab at top, background services, then programs :)


Turn off system restore if it's on, turn everthing off for speed testing:)
