    Vista 64 & Internet Stalling

    Any ideas folks? With more digging, I'm finding I do get the Event Viewer ID 4226 warning that is associated with the half-connections problem, but from what I understand, there's no patch for the tcpip.sys file for Vista 64 that was widely useful in XP SP2. Any help would be appreciated.

    Vista 64 & Internet Stalling

    Yes, all my drivers are as up-to-date as possible. I think it has to be some sort of a conflict but I can't piece together how to test anything. Also, since there's no pattern, it's tough to figure out what is the culprit.

    Vista 64 & Internet Stalling

    I wrote about some early Vista 64 issues here. The original thought was that my machine was running into issues with P2P software. I hadn't seen any apparent issues after throttling down the max_connections_per_second down to 2 and my max upload/download speeds. Now my internet is stalling...

    Vista internet slows and then stops

    Thanks for the info. Using MLDonkey with Sancho. What is a half-connection? I'll look to tweak the settings a bit.

    Vista internet slows and then stops

    Thanks for all the good ideas. The first thing I tried was to remove the Windows Firewall (as I have another on). That didn't do anything. Next, the router firmware is up-to-date but last updated 2 years ago (gives you an idea of how old my router is). Last I disabled IPv6 on vista and I've...

    Vista internet slows and then stops

    I've had my new rig up and running for a week or two now. I haven't had any problems except for my internet connection, which has been driving me nuts. So about 30 minutes to an hour into starting my computer, I get great connections and bandwidth. But after that, I can't even get 1KB/s. All...

    Chips not down at AMD: Despite layoffs and financial troubles, the future still ...

    It should be noted that what you describe is the textbook definition of a contrarian in the stock market world. The idea is that you cheerlead a stock that NO ONE ELSE wants to cheerlead in the hopes that you're buying the stock at an unreasonably low price. You don't make much money for very...

    Latency vs Frequency

    Thanks guys. Sounds like both parameters are soft parameters, but having 1066 'branded' chips likely means more wiggle room for pushing the hardware faster.

    Latency vs Frequency

    So I'm deciding on RAM for a x38/C2Q setup. I don't really understand how latency and frequency work. Essentially I'm comparing the following two kits: Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066 (TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF) 2x2GB - Latency=5 Corsair HX2 DHX DDR2-800 2x2GB Latency=4 The DDR2 1066 stuff is...

    Corsair HX620w vs Cooler Master 750w

    Sounds like most people like their Corsairs (kind of like most people like their Sony TVs) but is it justified by the price? $60 more for the Corsair is sizeable.

    Corsair HX620w vs Cooler Master 750w

    Still have a few up-in-the-air components but I'm fine with buying a power supply upfront. Everyone seems to think Corsairs are high-quality, but there's a great deal at microcenter for the Cooler Master 750, so what would you buy right now? Corsair HX620w ($115) CoolerMaster 750w ($60) I...
