hmm, then I don't know what caused that problem. my last guess is then Cox. they had some outtage problem right before I had this problem occured. howerver they claimed they solved that problem and it wasn't their falut. does disabling QoS affect any system perfomance or anything? if not...

I think QoS was a pboblem. since I disabled QoS, it has been ok. now worst is 10-15 seconds delay. that's a lot better and I can stand it. thanks for the help!!!!

it seems like everything works fine now. will see few more days and let you guys know. thanks again.

isn't it automatically configured? most time it's working fine but from time to time it's not working. 1/3 of web page loaded and stopped. if I check bottom of window tap, it was saying 'opening page' but it sat there forever. then I open another IE, it shows 'page can not be displayed.'...

mistake, I,m only running zonealarm. no window firewall. Thor 86, you mean disable QoS Packet Scheduler? thanks.

I'm using zonealarm and window XP firewall.

thanks a lot for the quick answer.

'Almost all CD and DVD drives communicate using the older ATA33 (or "UltraDMA2") protocol, and can use either the 80-wire IDE cables or the coarser 40-wire IDE cables.' by mechBgon's guide. but I can't find any ATA33 along with mobo and cd rom packages. I must miss something here.

currently I have PSU, CASE, Floppy Drive, HDD, RAM, and WindowXP home. waiting for Mobo, CPU, and other parts. my question are: 1. can I check whether the PSU works or not without mobo connection? I like to make sure it's working and not a defect one. 2. can I use IDE power connector...

do you have S-ATA power adaptor? I got mine but it did not contain it.

which one is the best in this league? ATI 9200SE, ATI 9250, GeForce MX4000, GeForce FX5200 they are same price range. so I will go with one of them.

my current computer has 30g hdd. I'm only using 3g of it. so I don't need any big one. I was getting 36g raptor but heard performance difference not that much. so decide to do with sata. hmm maybe I'm wrong. yet I'm learning. thanks.
