SSD is not cost effective and it is not ''solid state'' --''solid state'' at all, for now, it'll mature.
Hi George, Nope, if I'm not wrong it only makes Firefox load pages faster. If u want to have a very fast download rate, u can try "Fire Download" add-on from Mozilla.com, by installing that add-on, it will make firefox download much faster. Sorry to be off-topic & u probably have heard about this, if u are streamyx user in Malaysia, Streamyx is currently "hard cap" our international download bandwidth to <50kbps regardless of traffic, usage or package. They will limit all downloads from P2P, online gaming to file sharing websites. TM CEO promised to revised this decision after numerous complains flooding into Streamyx customer support.
That is absolutely not true. I just downloaded a large installer file at 151kbps this morning using my 1.5Mbps Streamyx line.
There's no 1.5Mbps Streamyx Line, there's only 1Mbps Streamyx Line. I subscribe for 1Mbps package & Streamyx configured my connection to around 1.3Mbps & I can download at 171kbps from 2am to 10am. From 10am in the morning until 2am the next morning, all my international download has been capped <50kbps, have u tried download at 2pm in the afternoon for the last few days? Even now at this hour when I'm typing, my download speed is still capped at 37.9kbps, when I contacted Streamyx technical support, they admit to me over the phone that they are doing this international bandwidth cap.
Are you sure it's not a line problem? 1 Mbps line, running at 1.5 Mbps - means nothing, I know. A random site from Mozilla Firefox's download site. AMD's site Rapidshare Megaupload Waited the download speed to stabilise for all the above - was erratic at the first minute or so. No, I haven't done any downloads at 2pm in the past few days - was at work - I can try again on Saturday. However: Look, I don't plan to turn this into a "told you" "you're wrong" argument but do you have anything solid that can back this 50Kbps news that you are telling us all about here?
Don't worry, this will not turn out into an argument, we are just sharing info. If u want to know more about the international bandwidth capping issue, u can go to this url - http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1648653 There are currently more than 2000 posts from Streamyx users located all around Malaysia discussing this issue. Very detail with all the info about this "capping" issue. They also came out with a list of capped area lol
These are my speed test results, from local servers & also from international servers (Done at the same time yesterday afternoon, notice any difference?) I'm pretty sure it's not my line problem because if my line have problems, why am I getting full speed from local server but low speed from international servers. I have also tested my download speed will hit 170kbps after 2am every night, before 2am, I'm down on <50kbps There's no problem when u surf internet or stream videos from youtube. But when u want to download files off international server, that's when the "capping" kicked in. It appears that only affect international download, but not local download.
luckily i didnt subscribe streamyx for home use. download like a turtle, upload like a snail. sending email is just frustrated. as for browser to use, either chrome or firefox will be great. anyone like IE 64bit?
now turned to Safari, mostly because of the simplicity of the presentation, the style well on Windows it has bugs sometimes, but it's nice anyway BTW, i just discovered Chrome and Firefox use the same Web Browser Engine, which means they are likely to have the same performances.
I use 5 browsers IE, firefox, chrome, safari, and opera OS: windows vista in my opinion, opera is fine, but has pretty slow start up (unlike chrome or firefox) and I don't know it is just me, but opera is not compatible when you play some browser games (FB games for example mafia wars, castle age, etc) I would recommend chrome because it is pretty stable and easy to use fire fox is fine, stable too, but chrome is much spacious IE is the worst..
Safari is good on the Mac platform. Firefox, Chrome will be better on Windows, Linux, Solaris etc. IE is only available on Windows. ... for a very good reason. Avenger's issue with some FB games could have something to do with the version of Flash.
The Europeans are quite 'independent' so to speak when it comes to computing - they can see the distinction between 'computer' and Windows or Office. Besides the stronger (not necessarily dominant) socialistic tendencies of the average citizen meant that they're more likely to trust community projects with good backing than a single profit oriented megacorporation ie. less likely to buy into the hype that American companies are very keen to sell to the consumers.
