    What is the deal with slow uploads for residential bandwidth?

    Referring back to an earlier post of mine, I was wondering if I could ask whether my assumptions are correct or am I way off base, I stated that the throttling of a connection to limit transfer rates on the lower speed connections, [ 768/384, 1.5/384, ect ] would actually tie up the...

    What is the deal with slow uploads for residential bandwidth?

    Not that I know anything about it, but I alway's thought it was pure marketing, the way I look at it, it actually costs the ISP's to restrict a connection, because by restrcting it, the transfer time is longer, thus tying up resources for a longer period.

    Looking for an Inexpensive HDMI out, Vid Card

    well I guess this sums it up on the 5450, from the Anand Tech article We’ve informed AMD of our findings, and they’re still looking in to the issue. However we believe that the problem is ultimately a lack of resources on the 5450 to handle all of this, so we’ll see what they come up...
