You've tweaked your Firefox but have you ...

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

: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:

Spyware OH YA?

rofl have you seen this program? some spyware we got here...

/end sarcasm.

585799964[/snapback]

i didn't say that the program posted here was spyware, i said most of them out there are

try reading posts more closeley in the future before you start flamin

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?

    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
