Test the speed of your computer. - Page 2

Hehe, JB, this is the result of my 6+ year old PC at home.  It may be old, but it got a better rating than yours  .  So, what do you say to that!!

:spock: Ummm... I think you are mixing up connection with speed of your computer. You can't compare a dsl/cable connection with dial-up! So actually the rating of your PC is actually the rating of your ISP.

If you want to compare comp stats:

AMD Duron 1000 mhz
620 MB Ram
That is the speed and power I have

I am not really confusing the two.  I would argue that when working on-line, the connection speed is far more important than processor speed.  We an only operate at the speed of the lowest denominator and since most of my stuff is done on-line, my PC at home isn't slowing me down all that much.  I admit a faster computer would make a difference, but I will never get the full benefit of all that "suped up speed" if I am using a dial-up to connect.  It will help to have a fast computer on a dial up, but a slow computer on a fast connection isn't all that bad.

My pages would load faster with a new computer, but I think they probably still load faster than someone with a fast computer on dial-up.  I think that is all I am trying to say.

Believe me, I would love a new computer at home.  Just not in the cards right now. >:(

I only have 333 MHz, with 128 MB RAM on Windows 98.

Now, at work I have 2.4 GHz with 512 MB or RAM on a T-1 connection on Windows XP.   ;D

Yes, I could argue that with you In web site creation both speed and CPU is very important. For instance, if you go to: https://www.bordeglobal.net and clicked on 'Flash' then speed will not be much of a concern but CPU for sure. I tried watching this on a 133 with 40 MB and a 233 with 46MB and both were viewing it slow regardless of internet speed. Being that I have dialup I plan mostly around connection speed.
[offtopic]As a side note, Tenaheff, most of BGID® (about 85% and our clients was created using a computer much slower than yours, so your computer is still great.[/offtopic]
