Does anyone actually know what would happen if you tried to pop an Athlon XP 2100+ (0.13um) into a VIA K8T330 board?

Some songs I try to grab are moving at a snail's pace, like 0.3 to 1 MB/s, while others fly through at 2 to 5 MB/s.
Why is there such a limit? Just want to know what I'm dealing with here.

Well, I'm not entirely sure... I'll be browsing the web, and then suddenly one download just hogs the entire bandwidth. I don't want to sit around waiting forever just because someone else is grabbing something. Personally, I usually download things while surfing simultaneously.🙂

That’s actually why Napster lets you pull from multiple sources at once if you use the "search for more..." option via right-click.

Amanda Ramos48 said:What actually determines my download speed? Sometimes it shows just 0.5, while I'm downloading one file and my modem is running at 52, and even then it's only hitting that for maybe 30-50% of the time.
Come on, driftingnomad68, don't start lecturing me again! I'm just asking so I can figure out if there's any way to make this faster.👋

It might be that the bandwidth is limited on their end. It really depends on the other person's connection. For example, I personally capped my upload to 1.5 KB so I could prioritize my max download speeds.

So yeah, it all comes down to the other side. 🙂

Man, this Kazaa 2.1 version is just a total mess. It keeps breaking on me constantly, and trying to deal with all these P2P networking errors is such a headache... one minute it’s fine, then suddenly everything goes sideways. And don't even get me started on searching—I'll type in exactly what I need and the whole app just crashes right in my face. Honestly, 🙄

Maybe try Napster 👍 (thanks shadowman 😁)
Or Gnutella 👍 (shoutout to Britney Spears)
Then there's eMule 🙂🙂

I used to use Kazaa Lite back in the day, but that's pretty much ancient history now 😢
You can still find a few things here and there, but man, it feels like everything has just vanished into thin air 😢.

Not at all, unless you really feel the need to.

Honestly, if 2.1 is working fine for you, just stick with it.

Honestly, the struggle is real because I got totally obsessed with the Nokia 6230, so now I'm having a hard time deciding where to drop my cash 😁

Siemens M55 😁

slycrane94, is just having it in dark blue enough for you? 😍😁

Those extra buttons (😁) right by the scroll wheel are such a game changer; it feels just like tapping arrow keys, but honestly, it’s way smoother than using the scroll wheel alone 🙂

John Palmer4 said:Oops!!! My bad.

So, what's actually the difference between this one and the MX500?

The blue one here 😍 😂

It's got better optics, a better sensor, and yeah, that's basically it. Plus, you can't even find the old MX500 anywhere in the States anymore—maybe if you dig around some random corner shop 😉

Basically, it's the successor. Honestly, it's good that it's a successor in terms of price too, since the MX 500 was priced right around there anyway.

John Palmer4 said:It’s not like we're talking about a fortune here. I remember picking up an iFeel Mouseman a few years back and it only ran me $205 😁
So honestly, this price isn't really breaking the bank for the MX500.

Regarding that media thing (music player or whatever... who knows), you can just bundle it with those Logitech keyboard drivers.
And I swear, if I try installing it with my keyboard, I feel like I'm gonna end up downloading half the internet by mistake...
With the advanced setup, you just uncheck everything except the actual driver and you're good to go.

The MX510, just to clear up any confusion, 😁

Yeah, total garbage. It's like installing Kazaa back in the day where you end up with a mountain of spyware.

So, I finally picked up a new mouse today at General Motors for $127. My old one just gave up the ghost on my other computer—it was this ancient Logitech from back in '96 that finally bit the dust.

The other rig is currently running a Microsoft mouse 😁
.
Let's break it down: the mouse has a nice, solid weight to it, similar to a wireless one, and it's incredibly precise. It’s got some pretty sweet features too, like a dedicated button for a quick ALT+TAB or a tilt function for scrolling, which honestly feels way better than the standard wheel 🙂
.
The side buttons work great for Back and Forward in Opera or IE... or, you know, mapping them for gaming macros 🙂
.
It's an awesome mouse. Apparently, it comes with a 3-year warranty, though General Motors only gives you one, but whatever—Logitech is Logitech
.

PS. Driver installation went smoothly enough; Microsoft's drivers just stepped aside for these ones. However, Logitech tries to sneak in some random media player during the process. When I saw what had installed itself, I had to jump straight into Add/Remove Programs to kill it. It’s called MUSIC BOX or something like that—just another useless icon cluttering up the system tray... 😁
.
Anyway, just a heads-up: you can actually block that junk from installing if you know what you're doing 😉
.

My scores are pretty rough right now, but honestly, it’s just because of my graphics card, so I won't even bother typing them out... I don't even dare 😁

Casey Palmer5 said:What you’re dealing with sounds like Baron Munchausen syndrome. Honestly, I’m not too sure if there's even a cure for that kind of thing.

I mean, I really doubt this guy is telling the truth, honestly...

I just can't stand those Midwesterners.

Hey Chloe Morris12, sweetheart, since you're from Seattle, you should check out those shows on Channel A—watch them and learn, there are some really weird words in there

like "light" or "numbers" and all that crazy stuff, but you'll pick it up eventually

BTW: why go to the University of Texas in Austin? 😱

Attention, attention! I really don't want to be the odd one out here 🙂
