The faster (and more) a dialup connection is transferring, the more prone it is to data loss and corruption. Hence why a slower speed created a more 'even flow of data.' Reading what your saying, go just lower then your max limit, and you should get a better connection... True. Modem Booster - it does work (well it did for me). Speed Connect also works well. Because of a more even flow of data, I actually do get more infomation, roughly 5-7mb more per hour.

Sorry, I only know about dial-up connections. However, getting a matched-speed plan (ie, 256/256, 512/512, 1024/1024, etc) would help.

Why do you say that?

Are you sure its not Onspeed that increased the surfing speed? I checked, there is no way that Speed Connect can increase the download capacity, yet Onspeed could do that via compression. Speed Connect - it does work. I used to get about 10mb/hour, now its more like 15-20mb. Seems it optimises the connection, bringing faster downloads over time rather then raw speed.

Actually it will be harder. Tell me how it will be more accurate. Im getting pretty good with my shooting, there are ppl way better then me though. But the thought of having to learn how to hold, aim, fire, reload, then crouching and prone, and vechiles...Trust me, if it was as easy as that, there wouldnt be such extensive training for any army.

If you just install your CPU and you get beeps. Sure it could compain of missing memory modules. But it could also be that hte CPU IS faulty.

As for features in the like, its unfair to say atm. Most of the small stuff isnt included, this realease is to make sure things are stable and works.

Im 99% sure it doesnt work. Espessily since its now based on DirectX 8.

For your information, the maximum is 512mb, only the dual core ones have 1gb per card. From what i heard, pc wont be made of silicon, but of carbon tubes... i dont know though....

With that i agree, but unless your hardcore and got plently of time, gmaker is really all you need. Also, i get the feeling that you havent visited it in a while, if tahts the case, its gotten alot better recently.

I assume you havent tried famous game maker games such as Jumper 2, or Hover Tank 3d? even others. No, Game Maker has the potentional to make extremely well done adn professional games. The thing is that most people cant be bothered, dont have the time (which is an excuse, and more falls on slackness) or make an engine and need to re-script it.... and once again, slackness...

Gigabyte have an even worse reputation then Asus for reliability. I would get an Asus a8n-Sli Deluxe, but thats me. Not a single problem with that board, and i had it for 6 months now.Really though, it sounds more like "New Egg" is the problem, try getting a refun and buying from a different place. You could also try DFI, but really it sounds more like this place doesnt take proper care of thier products.

Tools - Options - General - Untick "Expand contacts when my mouse cursor hovers over them" Its not bad, defently faster and no freezups (except in the last loading bit, and the privacy tab when you have almost 600 contacts like me... I hit the upper limit already. I was in shock when my contacts went from 250 to almost 500, it didnt add them because of the last limit. Enleast they told me i hit the limit of 600 this time... The color is alot more appernt, but i stil cant get the right one... grr.... Also, only the mayjor features are implimented. Msn Plus is in development atm, I hear its released whem msn live is released. Also, that annoying extenstions blocker is now an option, thanks Microsoft for thier screw up and make it an option. I can calll anyone in the world, my friends, family, or gf for about 3c AUS a minute, as long as i get a mic. ATM though, this service is only in UK adn a few other countries, but it will be everywhere once its released. REally though nothing much is new.. But thats expected. I hear they plan to test this version make sure its stable, etc, and then release a much more upgraded vesion. I guess thats also why you need to be invited, so that not everyone downlaods and complains its faulty.

The Games Factory is a disaster. Its poorly written, terrible to use, no avanced coding, no multiplayer support, no extenstions... its a total mess. Really, https://www.yoyogames.com/ is far easier to use, more powerful, and alot less buggier. I tried GF at first and i almost quit, until i found Game Maker, and now im making games till my Hard Drive fills up Really, if you want to try GF, try Game Maker as well....

Or you could use an extenstion. I use 'hideBad'

There are 200gb 'holographic' DVD's in development now, expected release this year or next... Whats amazing is that the computer is stilll quite young, at only around for about 20 years. I would be more wanting to see in about 20-30 years.

Thats a pretty decent computer. My recommended changes: *Get a DL dvd Burner, like the Pioneer DVR-110 series. *Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - You dont need the Platinum, just the plain Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. Really, its the best price/performace ratio out there. IF the Platinum has the face plate, i guess you could go for it. *Logitech MX-518 Mouse, Optical, USB, Silver/Black - No Keyboard?? I suggest a Logitech MX3100 Combo. Note not a MX 3000 combo. Actually, Logitech took this out of existance, but some retailers still might have it. *Kingston ValueRAM Dual Channel Memory Kit, 2x1GB, DDR-SDRAM, DIMM, DDR333 - Dude, im not even sure that ram will work in that mobo. Too slow.... Get Corsair, or another top brand. And you want DDR400 enleast. @mystmag - Some things you should learn about before you comment. For Example The days of Raw Power are over buddy, now its how effecient you cna get the CPU to run. X2 3800+ is a dual-core, and in Intels Equivalant, is about 3.8ghz. Its quite a beast of a CPU, and is really one of the top ones out there. The new AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 (yes it does exist, but isnt on the shelves just yet) is the fastest CPU currently pretty much known. Its dual core, and beats Intel's best offerings in almost every benchmark, but wait for this... its only 2.6-GHz!!! Morel: Raw Power doesnt always win.

Is the hard drive detected in the bios?Are all the cables connected properly?What OS do you have?If you have raid'ed hard drives and plugged this into the same onboard controller, you also might have some issues there.
