Which is what a forum is for.
A gathering card is needed. This gets my vote.

Eppppppppp im going to be building my own pc (first time) how did you manage to blow the thing up ?
Turned on the PC without properly attaching the heatsink (ie not at all). I was very tired after trying to sort a 'cmos checksum error' for the last 6 hrs. I eventually learned that the cpu was faulty but seeing as it was slightly burned i didnt think i could return it (or anythhing else that got err toasted
)
FYI: 512k = 512k (thousand bits) = 64K (thousand bytes, not 52)
Was some confusion over this earlier i believe.
Also etho_: i know it was a joke but ur joke is flawed
56K is an analogue device and connection speeds will differ. Digital devices should always connect at maximum speed.ie id be might pissed off if my ISDN connected at anything other than 64k
Wether you download at that speed is another matter. (which is what this thread has beend ealing with.)
Now could you stop posting so much at night cos people look at me strangely in work when i have this much reading to do when i should be working 0 -

Sometimes I wonder why newbies can't figure out why leased lines cost a lot more than the contended bandwidth of ADSL.
The purer the bandwidth - the higher the cost. ADSL is by its very nature contended. RADSL is the bargain basement of DSL services and it is a mass market product intended to serve the low end of the market. Then comes the Business ADSL - the contention rates are lower but the prices are a bit higher. At the top of the tier are the leased lines - the bandwidth is guaranteed but the price is correspondingly high. If IOL, Esat or Eircom decided to give residential users the same kind of guaranteed bandwidth as leased line business customers, a lot of account executives would be buying one-way tickets and false passports. Either that or the Chianti sales would be up again.

They have indeed improved according to this and other threads.-snip-
which will be set up in t-minus 19 days ahh the joys 20:1 8 meg
-snip-
If your a business customer (ie getting it for a company) then thats 19 working days
If not accounts may be on to you asking for a deposit, they were on to me yesterday (well my contact in EsatBT was). Apparently they wanted a deposit of €125 (installation) but since im only paying half that install fee i only have to pay hald that deposit wise
Officially i should be switched on by end of next week but i have a feeling the 19 days starts now

this really is completely off topic but:
yes its polite to quote relevant bits, not the whole damn post
Reason people complain is that it makes the page that much longer and for the poor people on 56k this can cause a lot of extra data* if everyone did it. Dont forget the poor people on 56k (ISDN) now that your on broadband
*ok this is a bit of a lie, doubt it causes that much extra data but it makes the page look messy and is unecessary.
Too cute for you bustaIs she cute? *
*I've never met Etho_ so the above may or may not be true
Just thought i put this in before people try to ridicule my posts for giving some mis-information (Esat style)
soz for the totally off topic post :ninja:0 -

We've established this, now we need to establish a way to block all 47 others people so one can hog the DSL line for themselves.
