    Why is my gigabit ethernet so slow?

    I just got a new laptop that supports gigabit ethernet. Since my desktop also supports gigabit, I thought I'd add a new switch so I can transfer my music files. I bought a Linksys SD2005 gigabit switch. So my network is now set up as follows: The cable modem is hooked up to a Linksys WRT54G...

    Stuttering audio in laptop computer

    I was just issued a new laptop computer at work. The old one was a 1.7 GHz Centrino with 512 MB RAM and Windows 2000. The current one is a 1.5 GHz Centrino with 512 MB RAM and Windows XP (which is the reason for the switch--OS "upgrade"). My old computer ran iTunes 4 absolutely fine. Unlike...

    Centrino losing wireless capability

    I posted a topic earlier (Here) asking about Centrino Slowdown problems. Since I now know it is not a slowdown issue per se, I thought I'd ask again. My work computer is a IBM Thinkpad T42. It has a 1.7 GHz Pentium M processor, with built-in wireless. At home, the computer will randomly just...

    Acronis True Image question

    I know Acronis True Image creates a compressed image file that enables you to back up the entire system. I know it can clone drives too. Can you use clone as a backup? Here's what I want to use it for. I'll use it to image the system drive. But I also have a bunch of MP3s that I want two...

    3.2 GHz P4 no faster than 1.7 GHz Centrino?

    I just built a new computer based around a 3.2 GHz P4 (LGA 775). I also have a 1.7 GHz Centrino laptop. Using SANDRA, the P4 is markedly faster (13000 compared to 9600 in arithmetic. 53000 compared to 33000 for multimedia.) Yet my Centrino is the same speed in encoding MP3s. Using LAME 3.96...

    Windows XP and 127 GB limit

    I'm just built a new system that includes a Seagate 200 GB SATA drive. I have an OEM version of XP (not including SP1 or SP2).

    Centrino slowdown issues

    My work computer is a IBM Thinkpad T42. It has a 1.7 GHz Pentium M. It has a huge slowdown problem. When plugged into the outlet at home, the computer will be running at full speed (yes, I realize it runs at a lower speed when running solely on batteries). Then, without warning, the computer...
