I have an 11 YEAR old Pentium (Windows 98SE, 128MB of memory) I keep as an extra computer. Even it benefited from the Tweaking steps recommended by dslreports. You're missing a key point in this discussion. Your processor speed has little to do with your Internet connection speed; the processor does not need to process DATA as it's being downloaded. The data is simply FLOWING through your Internet connection to your hard drive.

It involves changing a one or two settings that can affect your Internet connection speed. dslreports.com PROVIDES a free utility called DrTCP which can be downloaded and used to do the tweaking, if any, that they recommend. Based on my experience, slight gains were realized by running the Tweaks test, which did recommend certain tweaks, and making those changes, i.e. tweaks.Thanks for explaining. SOMETIMES my brain quits working. Especially lately as I haven't been feeling well. I'll have to give it a try tomorrow.Feel better and enjoy all you have learned.
