Make sure your UPS is actually grounded, no ground = no protection

Should be fine for general use, but definately not a gaming rig... I would run at least 512MB of Ram...

Those memories will not play together, pull the 256MB module. This is probably causing the system to crash. You must run Identical spec'd modules together.

info on SP2 affect on P2P programs...

SP2 does negatively effect P2P performance, theres a hack that fixes the problem.

I think thats the service you would have to use...

works just like a pop3 server no adds no special requirements... only morons forward chain letters, when I relply to anything I strip all previous addresses if and when I forward somthing. If people used BCC it would be much more difficult for bots to grab addresses. True spammers used zombie networks not hotmail anyways...

Should be fine the card is not very old and is 4X only thing with newer motherboards is the very old 3.3V AGP cards. I believe there is special keying that will not allow the wrong type of card to plug in so no worries. Should work fine for everything short of doom3.

I think that modem may only work on verizon broadband in america using dated GTE equipment. It probably is locked so you cannot access the setup in the modem.

Huski,

Normally Modems with ethernet interface have a web interface where you enter login information and other specs for it to hook to a specific dsl service. The PPPoe program you loaded is acutually already built into XP and would be used with a cable modem normally or a rare dsl modem that does not have a router built into it. The router section has a DHCP server which assigns local addresses to your machines on the lan. The dsl side logs into True and is assigned a IP from their server.

Ian,

In my router/Modem (SMC) it is under NAT settings Virtual Server section you need to input the local IP address of the machine running P2P the port number the application (default usually is 6346) and select tcp and udp. This basicly opens that port to the internet directly bascily punches a hole in the NAT firewall. IF you are running SP2 firewall you must also open the ports in the firewall also...

Migrating to Gmail anyways tired of slow a$$ hotmail. Anyone who wants invites to Gmail let me know I have a few available...

About the same as that depends on the time of day alignment of the moon

You must turn on port fowarding for the port your P2P software is using otherwise the software cannont accept inbound connections...

Are you conncting through a switch? Some do not support 56K connection. 36K using different modulation than 40-56K connection.

Make sure it is also set for "LLC" also. I would first login into the modems web interface and insure the connection is up then work from there. Make sure DHCP is turned on the modem and your network card is set to get a IP address.

Nvidia better for doom3, 9200 is too weak for doom3...

Very cheap per game...

both connect at 6.1 Mb/s main issue with the billion USB modem is it caused the system to hang. Nothing like the wife complaining about the internet being down while you are at work. True throttles their speed at the server, on their speed test with the small test file I hit about 4.1 Mb/s, sustained drops to 2.5 Mb/s as advertised although I rarely get that kind of performance beyond their network. (Once got 300 KB/s download from download.com late at night)

clarify 700 kilo bits per second not KB make sure we are not talking apples and oranges

sometimes as high as 100kb/s per file but not always, seems like the torrents have the best performance consistently 20-30Kb/s. I'm on a true DSL 2.5MB/s that connects at 6.1MB/S , 640KB/s up (I must be pretty close to the switch )

They sell chipped PS2's and Xbox's in MBK...

Torurism is flat or going down, stayed about 10 Million for the last 4 yrs so I guess you see how their policy affects tourism.
