Greetings to everyone. I'm having some broadband problems with my new rig. This is what I have:
Asus A8N-SLI mobo
FX-57 CPU
2 Gigs Crucial Ballistix ram
XFX 7800 GTX video card
The BIOS and chipset drivers are up tp date. I'm running XP Media Center 2005 and am using the onboard network adapter. I'm not running any anti-virus or anti-spyware programs. The Windows firewall is disabled.
My problem is slow connection speeds. If I run a test through www.netbroadcasting.tv/myspeed/index.html, I get 700 down and 300 up. On my other two computers, I get 3000 down and 700 up. I have changed ethernet cables and also connected directly to my ISP, with no change. When playing on various Quake 4 servers, my ping jumps all over the place; from 30 all the way to 999. My other computers ping from 17 to 30 on the same servers. I tried installing a network card and got the same results. I've tweaked all the network settings I know of and have used various network optimizer programs. I also played around with the network adapter properties, all with the same results. At first I thought I might have a bad mobo, so I switched to an Abit KN8-SLI mobo using the same CPU and ram. Even with the new mobo, I got the same results.
Does anyone know if it's possible for for a CPU to cause broadband problems? Or could it be a problem with the Nvidia network controller and/or drivers?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
