Howdy all
I just installed a fresh copy of win xp sp2 on my new athlon 64 system with
a sata hard drive and earthlink 3mbps DSL. I am using a Linksys router.
My previous system,web pages would just show up when i clicked a link or
type an address.
With my new setup I get a 10-15 second delay before a page shows up,if it
shows up.
Everything is just so damn slow i cant stand it. I dont have any of the
power saving features on,I have no programs running in the background. I
have a gig of ram and am using the network card built into my motherboard.
Any clue what I could try?
