    Comcast High-Speed Internet (6 Mbps) for $19.99/month for 12 month

    I ditched Comcast after the first 3 months. I had the "Up to 20mbps" service which I only really got in the middle of the night. I was lucky to get 300k in the evening when I got home. Canceled and switched to DSL. Don't be tempted if you're in an urban area! (I'm in San Francisco)

    VERY slow networking performance using Gigabit Switch

    I'm having this nagging issue that I can't seem to resolve - I get very slow network performance when I plug my 3 computers into a gigabit switch, but only when I use distributed rendering in 3D Studio Max. It will be fine at first, and then get progressively slower and then nearly not work...

    Complicated (for me) network problem - getting wireless internet and having a separate gigabit LAN

    Great! Thank you. I put in my order and we'll see how it goes.

    Complicated (for me) network problem - getting wireless internet and having a separate gigabit LAN

    Hi - I've been looking for a solution to this problem for several days now. Basically I just bought a second desktop computer (render node) and would like to connect them together on Gigabit ethernet. There is no network or telephone port anywhere near my setup, so I currently am running...

    Is there a Battlefield Vietnam Demo? - Can't find one anywhere.

    well for me, Vietnam was a bit slower on my older computer than 1942 was. this was because of the added vegetation I believe.

    When is "Call of Duty 3" supposed to be available for PC?

    You have to realize that COD 3 wasn't even made by Infinity Ward...think of COD 3 as the console only game. Right now the "COD 3" for the PC is being made and is an entirely separate game. COD 3 just looks like more of the same anyways, I'm glad it's not on the PC. It probably would've been...

    WHAT! no call of duty 3 for PC?

    I enjoyed COD:UO the most. I thought COD2 was fun as well, but I REALLY miss the COD:UO multiplayer. The COD2 multiplayer is pretty repetitive and doesn't have the awesome dynamic of COD:UO with the vehicles and large maps. Not to mention it's much easier to hit people in COD2, which I don't...

    Short Theoretical Survey for Course Final

    Oh, this is for an Advertising project. My instructor didn't pick the topic, our group did. I'm just trying to gather some research into what people think :)

    Short Theoretical Survey for Course Final

    Hey guys, if you could help me out I appreciate it. I hope this is acceptable on this forum; I was looking for forum rules. Anyways, this is all for fun, Thanks :) 1. This year, Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens are competing against each other for Mayor of Philadelphia. Who would you...

    Wendy's Research Questionnaire

    Hey guys, I'm doing a project for my advertising course and need some research on Wendy's fast food. You don't have to be a loyal customer of theirs, so if you could just answer these few questions, that would be great. If some of them seem repetitive, rest assured that I didn't write it ;)...

    Are there any 5.5 - 6 lb 15.4" WS Centrino notebooks out there with decent DX9 graphics?

    Not exactly, but since it's a widescreen, that will make a difference :)

    People who wish to play BF2 for real

    Hey guys, just signed up for xfire. My alias is ryanv12 same as in the game and on this forum :D I would enjoy some teamwork play. I like to fly the most and I appreciate when squad members actually call in targets they want me to hit. I'll add all of you guys, and see you in game...

    14" too big to lug around?

    True that homey. I carried my dv1000 everyday with a couple of books and it felt like nothing, especially in a backpack. I figured I had more leeway, so I got the Inspiron 9300, which is under 8 pounds, and it's been no problem walking even the 3/4 mile between my apartment and my girlfriend's...

    If you cant fly in BF2

    It's true. I've stopped entire advances when flying when a squad leader or commander gives me the right instructions. That's the key though...air superiority. If you're on a map with the F-15 and F-18, if the F-18 can tie up both of the enemy's planes, the F-15 can be one of the single most...
