was wondering i built a new comp with a bigger hard drive faster processor, and a new motherboard, but when i download things it goes a lot slower what is the reason behind this?

Current system:

intel dg965wh mother board
pentium d 3.0ghz processor
1 gig of pc6400 patriot extreme performace memory
maxtor basics sata ll/300 hard drive which is a lil noisy

old system:
soyo mother board
pentuim 4 2.4 processor
wd 80 gb hard drive
1 gig or pc2700

sp2

really why? i did noitice that my comp was incredibly fast before i installed sp2 disk is there anything i can do about this

 

[heyman421]

it's got all kinds of internet security patches, etc. that really slow down the internet.

turn off windows firewall, use the half open connection patcher (google, i don't remember the exact name) just google sp2 patch

that should help. Your downloads will never be as fast as pre-sp2, tho.

The speed of the downloads has nothing to do with the difference in processor speed, or anything else. There are lots of factors that can cause a difference in download speed, such as downloading from a different site, different server, more people downloading a certain file, or more people are on the net at that time.

and it depends on how far you are to your adsl company is
