    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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...

    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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.

    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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.

    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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...

    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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.

    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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...

    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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...

    Slow internet on only one computer.

    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...

    KVM Help! Two computers on one LCD

    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.

    Quick Memtest Question

    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?

    Can't get a monitor signal

    After RMAing my last motherboard, this board is powering fine and all the lights/fans power. The problem is that I can't get a monitor signal. Does anyone have any ideas? One thing I need to add is that my OEM CPU from TigerDirect arrived with bent pins. I was able to bend them back and the...

    Processor doesn't fit into Mobo

    Well according to my motherboards manual a powersupply with 20 pins can cause it to be unbootable, so I ordered a new power supply. (Old one came with case) This is my second build, my first actually went a lot better. I'm looking at this right now: AMD 64 4000+ OEM from TD ECS KN1 Lite...

    Processor doesn't fit into Mobo

    I did that. It will only go in along the edges, so I'm assuming there is a bent pin somewhere in the middle, but everything appears to be lined up.

    CPU Temp Problem

    I have a Prescott 3.2GHz cooled by a Zalman Alcu cooler. My problem is that Motherboard Monitor says the CPU temp is 72C, while Everest says it is 32C. I'm not sure which one to believe. Anyone have any ideas?

    Weird problem with x800xt. Please help.

    Haha, yes I did check and the fan was working. I replaced the stock HSF with the ATI Silencer and its making a HUGE difference! Temperature has gone down A LOT and I just played BF2 for 1 hour straight without any problems. Thank you all very much for your help, I really appreciate it!

    Weird problem with x800xt. Please help.

    Ok, I got it off. Now there is a lot of white on it (from the thermal paste) How do I remove it? Also, is it ok to use the Zalman thermal paste that came with my CPU HSF?

    Weird problem with x800xt. Please help.

    Well, I decided to try to put on the ATI Silencer. However, I ran into a problem. How do you remove the stock fan? I used all the screwdrivers in the house and none of them will get it off! Is there some special one I need?

    Weird problem with x800xt. Please help.

    The airflow seems to be pretty good. CPU runs at 40C. I have an ATI SIlencer 4 that I could install on it, but I have no idea how to do it. Also, it didnt come with thermal compound, but I have the tube that came with my Zalman CPU heatsink. Could I use that themal compound on it?
