Still not fixed, that is Telkom!!

Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 1:53 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mephesto, maybe if you took the time out to read up maybe on GFX cards and the generations they belonged to it would make the argument much more convincing, hehe, anyway d...

Telkom is trying to sort my problem, it is a line problem. Somewere along the line the signal is getting lost. I spoke to the techie from telkom, and he said he will ceep on looking till he finds the leak. The line signal should be 1.0, but he only gets a 0.42 signal. I ask: how long? He said: don't...

I have a nVidia Ti4400 card in my other PC and it can still run all of the games out there at a playable pace. The same can not be said for the 8500 raddy by ATI. Both these cards came from the same era. It makes you think? Don't get me wrong, I am not a nVidia fan, but this is a fact that nobody ca...

ISP = XSinet

Yes I have an 128k account.

Azgard, which modem did you use?

I connect with both channels, so 128k, after some time(between 5 and 10 hours) the connection becomes snail like, allthough I am still connected at 128k. It is like having a 1k connection.

OK, If it is the modem, then which one should I get?

Is there anyone that can help me?

Nope, it is not a hacker, the network activity is 0.

Internal Duxbury 128K modem.

Whatever!! IMHO these cards are too pricey anyway. I will wait untill they are cheeper and then get one. I like ATI, but will take the Nvidia card it it is cheaper. The main thing I am looking for is 16 Pipelines on the card.

Meph out!!

When I connect with both channels I get the following problem after some time connected to the web. The connection becomes very, very slow. So slow that I can't open pages or play games online. It is as if the connection slows donw to about a 1K connection, but the connection is still there. Does an...

Just e-mail ATI support with all your driver probs, they get billions a month. 8O

We help them make the drivers better that way!!

I have two of those drives, and they do not make noise at all, I think yours might be faulty.

AA sucks!!, because I have tried to register like almost 50 times and I have never received a password from them so that I can log on.

You probably have an old version of ALC 120%

Tried it, Did not like it!! I have problems running Battlefield 1942 with these drivers. It will not be the first time that I have had problems with an ATI driver release. Way back I had a similar problem, but it only got sorted about 6 months later. What can I say, I love ATI cards, but their drive...

Go here http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ to see if your PSU have enough juice.

I have decided that this benchmarking thing is just another conspiracy tool to make us buy the latest hardware.


NO TO BENCHMARKING FOREVER!!!!!!!

I saw that take two do stock these dvd's, but the price is outragious. R499 for a pack of 5, that is about R100 a pop. I'll rather ceep to the normal 4.7 Gig DVD's, they are much cheaper.

I have played BAttlefield 1942 on 56k, 64k ISDN and 128k ISDN. On 56k it stinks, but it will do if you do not have anything else. Only use the SA servers. The ping is between 200 and 500 on ISDN 64k or 128k it is about the same. Very nice ping between 60 and 80. So I say that ISDN is the way to go f...

Thanks for the reply's guys. I spoke to my ISP and they said that the Duxbury modem is the best bet. I am going for the internal option though.

The reasons:
1. Internal is chaeper
2. Internal is less hassle

Thanks again for your help.

Meph out!!

I am getting ISDN soon, and was wondering witch modem to get.

I am going to dail in with one line most of the time, but will use them both on weekends.

Can anyone help me with this one?

Meph out!!

I have 2 x 512Mb DDR400 Kingston Value ram strips and they run very nicely.

Btw: The value ram by Kingston also carry a life time warranty.

Meph out!!
