MADGT4 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Cubes that sounds like a plan and something i would deffinately be down with. I recently churned my account to Node ADSL2 but missed out on the migration at my exchange by a few days so i'm stuck on 1500/256 for up to a possible 10 week wait.

Cubes Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ahh bugger.. ADSL2 is nice, web browsing you notice a slight speed increase over 1500 but dloads and video streaming is where its all at. What exchange are you on? I'm on the Corro. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/7/#findComment-2199039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiplash Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 We got normal broadband when it first came out and are now stuck into a contract with a small DL limit and not the fastest connection we just jad a letter telling us that our current plan is no longer active and have been changed to a more expensive one with no extra downloads or anything . bloody Ozemail can't really complain they forgot to bill us for a year Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/7/#findComment-2199049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubes Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 GPU's aside what do you get from SuperPi? http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/super_pi_mod-1.5.zip I believe the record is held by an Intel Conroe (Core Duo 2) @ ~15secs for the 1mb test.

MADGT4 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) Well i'm KINDA on ADSL2+ at the moment through Node I churned my account from the son of rajab of the Ghey ISP's (bigpond) But i missed out on the migration to ADSL2 by about a week at the Norwood exchange so it could be up to another 10 weeks before i see any speeds over 1500/256! But i was on Bigpond 512/128 paying exactly what i'm paying through Node now except with Node i now have the speed and a 40GB a month d/l limit! Currently i'm not doing my 1GB a day which is what i'll have to do to make use of it EDIT: I couldn't see anywhere what my score was on 3dMark 06. I'll run it again 2night and see what i get.

Whiplash Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) oh thought so but wasn't 100% sure, as usual i handed over the credit card and walked out with out really paying attention LOL sounds familiar ....thinks about car although the idiots sold me the wrong graphics card - i double checked when i was down picking the parts up and they assured me it was correct only to find that it didn't even fit into the motherboard, so i had to go back down to the city and pay extra for the correct one, i wouldn't have been pissed off if i had been given the correct ine to begin with Edited May 26, 2006 by Whiplash Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/7/#findComment-2205251 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 nah Steve - I run a skin/theme pack called "Brico Pack Longhorn Inspirat" .... Goolge it, download and install it - it is really brilliant. Basically makes XP look and feel like Vista (to a certain extent) - the only thing missing is the virtual program scrolling, but has many cool features and looks great!
