the easist way to find out is to take the side of the case off and look at the spare slots.

this is an example of a board thats got an agp slot , the brown slot is agp the white ones are PCI standard

sweet did your isp supplier provide you the modem or did you buy it.

you have to tell me how he set his computer up .

If he running it through a peer to peer sharing the internet , uploading will be slow.

I noticed this with MSN while uploading files.
i have to use my main computer to upload files just to get a better upload rate.

might be he hasn’t set his computer up correctly to a modem router if he running a router that is.

digital box can some times have blocks, if your running this through your lcd screen.

have you tried a dvd to see how the screen looks, best way to test the screen quality .

lcd work well at hi res ,the dvd is the best way to check it.

another thing lots of low cost/quality lcd do have blocks , which is why i am doing my home work before buying a lcd tv.

its worth paying good money for one and to look at the screen at a shop before you buy.

always worth checking what screen looks like, as cr@p screen quality can really p ss you off.

as you found out.

some i’ve seen are really cr@p .

really want a lcd screen but the one i want isn’t down to my price yet.

any i hope you get it sorted

where did i hear that joke before

you tried scandisk defrag so forth , use msconfing to shut down any programs you don’t use.

uninstall programs you never use or didn’t install in first place .

use spy ware virus scan so forth

check temp of CPU and if all this fails , reinstall windows lol

hope this helps . i think i covered everything

ADSL 1 modems can do 8mbs download and 1 mbs upload

you might have modem set up wrong

british setting is G.dmt vpi = 0 vci = 38

PPP over ATM VCMUX

sounds like modulation is set to G.lite which only downloads at speeds of 1 mbs

you do get a degrade in speed on a 8mbs connection , but not as low as 1mbs

so if modem set up right you have to give you ISP a ring and complain

hope this helps
