Also linux runs horrible on this, any ideas why? I can't even try to run any games on steam and it likes to freeze.

the C60 is a pretty bad processor, I had a Asus shitbook with it in there. The only way I got it to do anything decent was Arch + XFCE.
How bout these apples.

I have not seen those speeds since we had this badboy:

I remember having those speeds when the line to my house was faulty. Jumped back to six when it was fixed by BT.
we went from 56k to 100mbps fiber in 2005
god damn it was amazing
i couldn't believe it when i first plugged in

I remember that first page load when we switched form 56K to 768K ADSL.
I could not believe pages could load so fast.
we had AOL dialup until 2010

The jump was pretty amazing, and the speed was excellent for its time.
Then video and music streaming along with web pages that tried to be less static came along and ruined the fun which was particularly bad for me because we had multiple machines in the house and not enough capacity to fulfil it all.

I learned something new today. I helped a friend with some computer upgrades, which included a 780 Ti. We put it in, and the motherboard just stayed on the boot screen for a long while, not responding to anything. After a while, it would go to a screen with the letter y on it. Pressing a key would just bring up another y. wat.
After some frustration, I remembered those cases where a motherboard was incompatible with a certain new CPU and you had to update your BIOS. I wondered if the same thing could happen to GPUs. And what do ya know, a BIOS update fixed everything.
isn't flashing a new GPU bios significantly harder than with a motherboard? i want to flash mine to get rid of the minimum 40% fan speed but i'm scared of fucking up my only functioning graphics card
No no, we flashed the motherboard's BIOS, and that made the new GPU work in it.
oooo
i learned something new today also in that case
Also, his new SSD is so fast that the desktop appears before the screen even wakes up, so you don't even get to see the windows logo.

is his screen really slow to light up or is it that "cold boot" (if that's the correct term, that hibernation stuff Windows 8 does)?

A cold boot is from completely off. As in the components are cold

my internet is basically unusable. This looks like a lot, but I should be getting about 60/10. And i'm blaming my router for it. Since in BF4, within 30 seconds I time out and my router completely crashes.
I also would like to get a more proper wireless adapter. The ones I have are alright, but with my PC where it is, I don't have much room to move them to an ideal situation, also I think the mirror in my bathroom is fucking me over.
But I don't know why suddenly now it's an issue, so I can only blame the router since I got great bandwidth when I moved my computer.[/QUOTE]
Apparently I can only max about 20/6 on my desktop, using a WRT54GL bridge. At first I thought it was the ISP modem/router wireless N combo, but apparently my damn 2012 Nexus 7 will pull 30/7 easy. Our ISP just upgraded us to 60/10. I also suspect cable line issues, but that's a problem for another day.
My internet is being crippled by Wireless G. I really need to run ethernet one of these days.
I laugh at anyone who tries to substitute a proper wired network with wireless. Unless you have a really awesome wireless access point you're going to be hurting for bandwidth once there's three or four devices all trying to be connected at once.
Five port gigabit switches are nowhere near expensive anymore.

Its laughable at best. We have ONE whole device on proper ethernet. Everything else is over 2.4G and 5G wireless A/B/N. Its horrid when everyone is using the internet or netflix is running on multiple devices.

This is what the modem will pull and send over the wired network.

This is over Wireless G. Very, very huge difference.

I'm guessing all the wireless equipments he have only supports up to 801.11b, and thus he's generalizing all wireless routers on the ancient ones he has.

Can't hear you over the four access points in my house I use for load distribution. Parents are allocated 802.11n, I use 802.11g, embedded shit and web browsers use 802.11b and I have a few laptops that use 802.11a. Anything else that has an ethernet jack is hardwired.

This is reminding me of the fact that at work my workstation is wired into a extender that's connected to another extender that could be anywhere in the building that I've yet to find.

This reminds me. At work, I need to move the modem that we use for internet seperate from the corporate network to a different part of the break room. And there's an ethernet jack that goes the the conference room where that internet is supposed to go. So I just need to connect the ethernet jack in the new location to the conference room one. Problem is, the network jacks are very poorly labeled (or in some cases, labeled WRONG as my IT manager warned me). So do I literally need to guess at probably ~200 ethernet ports on the patch panel. Does anyone have any tips in these situations.
