    The 3400 is only priced around 1,900 compared to the little under 3,000. I don't know how much of a budget his buddy is on.

    Serial modem question

    I'm thinking about buying this modem off newegg and I have a question about serial. I would get usb if they had it but newegg doesn't have any. I have a five pin serial port on the back of my computer, and in the picture on the back of the modem it's like a 20 pin connector. On the box it says...

    The best 56k gaming modem?

    There has been like two people that posted what I asked, everyone else has done nothing but harass me and diss the 56k. I'm thrilled everyone thinks dialup sucks so much, at least i'm not pessimistic bastard that makes useless posts like that. What happened to the rule if you don't have anything...

    The best 56k gaming modem?

    Ah great tyrant, I think you're the only one that's on the right track to the point of my post. You picked the company that I read somewhere else that their supramax external usb was a very good gaming modem. That would be this one on newegg, Here. That one is serial but I heard there is little...

    The best 56k gaming modem?

    You know that's a lot of big words and I usually use a microwave for my pizza rolls. But incase you were serious I might as well add this to why i'm pissed about not having cable/dsl, i'm a whopping .8 miles away from the cable line. Shoot me now. Boonies of Ohio, Cleveland Rocks!

    The best 56k gaming modem?

    Ahh, wow. Well people i've been determined for some speed for years. Everywhere i've read everyone is anti-satellite gaming. Even if you think about it wouldn't a satellite that's 25,000 miles away create just a touch of lag? As for the juno w/ hack *cough* pm me, lol i'm very cheap. Can we get...

    The best 56k gaming modem?

    It's sad i'm pressing the refresh button because there's so many anandtech members. I don't know if you've heard satellite is the worst possible option for online gaming, go look it up. I'm pretty sure my 200 ms ping is better than 1200. As for the next dialup insult from another rich cabler...

    The best 56k gaming modem?

    Jeeze you guys post fast. When you're *forced* to use dial-up you buy the best of the best modems to get better ping. This USR modem turned out to be the worst of the worst. As for my ISP sucking? 8 bucks a month and i'm not forced to use a browser that takes up 50 megs of memory. It's pretty...

    The best 56k gaming modem?

    I guess I have to say it since nobody is catching on, I cannot get cable/dsl. I'm thrilled with you guys' posts, but answer the question asked please? I'm sorry I get tense around this subject, i'd be a hitman just for cable, about 5 years on dial-up, just stick to the thread. And by the way...

    Ah, of course I couldn't go five minutes without getting the response i'd like to a rip a person's head off. Yes, dialup for gaming, hence the new modem. Isp is...*start laugh now* ISP.com. At least it's not AOHELL, and I have the coolest e-mail address ever. These aren't your average lag...

    those of you who have upgraded from 512 to 1gb memory

    I upgraded from 512mb of some generic pc2700 to 1 gig of corsair pc3200. I saw huge improvements in gaming stuttering. I can even play doom 3 at ultra settings with no stuttering at all now. I could barely pull off medium settings before. CS:S also liked the upgrade by raising my recommended...

    Man I was hoping for more responses than this, this forum moves really fast, can we get some bumpage up in this joint? Maybe there's some magical cs command that makes it allll go away, if not i'm stuck paying a 15% newegg restocking fee. :evil:.

    Brand new modem, brand new problems. Help?

    Maybe I didn't stress what I was really talking about too well. Ping isn't my problem, it's these spikes. I get great pings...for the short time before my cs goes caddywompus. I also get pretty good pings with my winmodem, and none of these freak out spikes. And windows reports my speed as...

    Correct way to switch from an Ati to Nvidia vid card?

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I hate to say it (don't beat me up) but I am on an HP that came with the Radeon 9200. If I reformat (hp recovery) it just puts the drivers and stuff back on. That's why I havin't really considered that, plus i'm too lazy to redo all of my sexy tweaks (blackviper...

    Correct way to switch from an Ati to Nvidia vid card?

    Hey guys, this is my first post, lets try not to beat me down too bad. This has probably been discussed 500 times but I can't really find any guides with specific directions on how to properly make the switch. I'll tell you my situation and if anyone can lay out nice step by step instructions it...
