It's only one partition, actually. I only run Ubuntu off of a Live Cd, it isn't actually installed. I tried the two programs and I reset the TCP/IP stack (whatever that means). Still getting the same speeds. Unfortunately, I don't have a space HD. Is there any other way to diagnose whether...

Well, I remembered that I had an old PCI Wifi card in my closet. I installed it and I'm STILL getting the same result! Is there something on the motherboard that could slow down internet for some reason? I am completely out of ideas now.

ZoneAlarm doesnt show any activity when my computer is just sitting idle. My router just stays lit when I'm not doing anything. Once I do something, it blinks a bit. So, doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary there.

I use ZoneAlarm on it. I ran the tests with it enabled and disabled, both had the same result. I'm convinced it's a weird hardware problem of somekind. It can't be a software problem. I unplugged both my hard drives and ran Ubuntu off a live cd. The speedtests gave me the same 2Mb I've been...

Yes it is.

Nope. I would disable one and try the other. I even removed the PCI-E wifi card and tested it. Still gave me 2Mb/s.

Well, I tried a couple more things. I booted into safe mode with networking with it directly connected into the modem, still gave me 2Mb. I tried updating all my drivers, still giving me 2Mb. I updated my BIOS, still at 2Mb. I pulled out my old Mac G4 to test the internet speed, and it got 5Mb...

I've tried DrTCP and I still can't get it past 2Mb/s. I know it isn't an ISP issue. All the other computers hit 5Mb/s without problems. I'm thinking it's a hardware issue since Windows and Ubuntu both give me the same speed results. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure about that either. Both of...

My computers internet speed has been a bit lower than the 5MB internet I'm paying for. I keep getting just under 2MB. I thought it was just a wireless problem. I plugged my computer directly into the router. Still 2MB on speedtests. I tried plugging it directly into the modem. Still 2MB. Figured...

I'm looking to connect my PC and G4 Mac to one single monitor using a KVM switch. Since I cannot find a cheap DVI KVM switch, I'm thinking I'm going to get a VGA switch. Will I notice a major quality difference? I have a Samsung 19" Syncmaster 920BW if that helps at all. Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to install WindowsXP all day and every time I get a BSOD. The error messages are always different. Specs: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ Seagate 120GB Harddrive Nvidia 7900 GS 1GB Pc3200 Kingston RAM Abit KN8 Motherboard

Yes, I made sure the CMOS jumper was set to the default position. I hooked up the 4 pin connector to the bottom of the motherboard The video cards fan is spinning so I assume it is getting power.

Darn, looks like I need to test all over again :( Thank you very much for the quick reply :)

I'm running memtest and I made the mistake of keeping all of my sticks of RAM in. Does memtest test the RAM in order of which slot they are in?

Tried the 1 stick of RAM, didn't work. I've been using this monitor on my Mac G4 so I know it works.
