OMG!!

I went from 1.9 MB to 4.0 MB.

This really works. :)

In which test? To download a 1 MB file? That is totally inaccurate. That could have even been from the cache via your ISP's proxy or your local cache. Also the server load at the times you initiated the test. I seriously doubt that changing your settings would have doubled your speed.

Already tweaked.

Would be faster if I were not listen to 128kbps music, playing urban terror online (quake 3), downloading from irc at 103kbps atm and uploading at 20kbps. A third of my max upload btw.

That and its wireless and who knows what my brother is doing on his pc right now. Sure he is at least listen to music at 128kbps and playing urban terror. Sures hes in a few irc channel on enterthegame as well.

WTF?

I'm on 3mbit broadband, and all the speed test give me less than 1.5mbit.

Something must be screwed up with my setting. :(

You have to do a speed test that is close to you (geographically). If you go to DSL reports and look for a speed test that is close to you it will give you a much more accurate speed.

re-test without any tweaks and u will still get something different

585799868[/snapback]

:yes:

to test this i first went to bandwith palace and then to pcpitstop right afterwards.

i tested bandwith palacefirst and got 2.5

then for pc pit stop i got 2.1

then i cleared my cache and cookies and did it again

i got 1.4 for bandwith

2304 kilobits per second pcpitstop

and agian..........

982 kilobits per second bandwith palace

1992 kilobits per second for pcpitstop

after that i can't do anymore of bandwith cause it says limit of 3 test per month per IP adress.

SO, in conclusion, these tests prove jack sh*t. the fact is you won't notice any diffrence from any tweaks out on the net. you may see a tiny boost while playing games, but that's it. they are all mostly adware and spyware anyways

but if you want to believe the complete strangers.............go ahead. i'll just sit back and wait for natural selection to kick in :sleep:

Flaming really?

Please find the part where an insult is directed at you. Then you can call it flaming.

585799998[/snapback]

who else is the sarcasim pointed towards? the fact that you put /sarcasm there implies that in that situation i was an idiot for posting something so dumb

yes, i know that you didn't say that exactly, or even close to saying that, but you know as well as i that that's what the /sarcacsm was implying

otherwise, there was no point in posting it now was there?

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
