cant work out why, but windows 7 has killed my download speed and upped my ping drastically - i used to get around 4 meg download now im lucky to get half a meg, ping wise i used to get around 20-40 on UK servers now i get 50-60 and its just unplayable on german servers i have done some research on this and i dont seem to be the only one with the same problem. apart from that - windows 7 is indeed awesome ps. this isnt a problem with my router/connection - my brothers and dads is fine as mine was before i had win7
See if you got any sidebar objects that would use the internet - they can use up a fair bit of your bandwidth (and RAM as well) got them disabled - cant stand widgets on my desktop =p thanks for the input tho :) ps. sorry for the thread hijack lol]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123598 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:20:18 +0100 Reply by kluniQ https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123572 Haven't ever reformated. I still have the installation disc tho. Is re-installing and reformating the same thing? (:D) Well no, you'll still be running Vista but it will be a bit faster for you being a fresh install.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123572 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:43:13 +0100 Reply by n00ne https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123571 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123571 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:41:56 +0100 Reply by r7an https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123569 Well , i have vista atm , and i think anything is better than vista. It's really slow even tho my rig is good + the "explorer.exe has stopped working" error shows up everytime i want to do something and not once , oh no , hundreds of times a day and it restarts everything. I would even be happy if w7 = vista , but without the bugs and slow'ness! oh , specs here Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16ghz Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit 4094mb RAM 9500 gt 512mb Gigabyte EP31-DS3L On that system it shouldn't be that as slow as you're making out mate. when was the last time you reformatted? Probably a cheaper alternative.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123569 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:37:43 +0100 Reply by n00ne https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123568 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123568 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:24:39 +0100 Reply by I-I05t@ge https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123475 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123475 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:42:08 +0100 Reply by iQue https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123470 cant work out why, but windows 7 has killed my download speed and upped my ping drastically - i used to get around 4 meg download now im lucky to get half a meg, ping wise i used to get around 20-40 on UK servers now i get 50-60 and its just unplayable on german servers i have done some research on this and i dont seem to be the only one with the same problem. apart from that - windows 7 is indeed awesome ps. this isnt a problem with my router/connection - my brothers and dads is fine as mine was before i had win7 See if you got any sidebar objects that would use the internet - they can use up a fair bit of your bandwidth (and RAM as well)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123470 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:35:05 +0100 Reply by Mirelin https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123451 Is it worth to spend money on? Is it really better perfermance wise , and in general - better than vista? Any downsides to windows 7 that you know of? Does it improve performance in games , especially tf2? (someone told me) Windows 7 is same Windows Vista but without bug's, errors and also Windows 7 is much faster than Vista and it's not using so much memory like Vista. On my netbook where's Windows Vista, i haved to play in WoW with 5-10 fps :< , when i installed cracked windows 7 on it, i were very impressed. My fps improved up to 30-40. In deep past Microsoft worked on Windows 7, but when they saw, that other corporations/they competitors, publiced live new Window's, Microsoft corporation publiced they'r unfinished project and named it Windows Vista. So, Windows 7 same Vista, but without bugs, errors and also i heard that Windows Vista user's will be able to upgrade they system to Windows 7 and all information that is on your computer won't fade ^^ . And i forgot to mention, it won't cost to expensive for upgrading Vista to 7 . For example, Windows 7 costs 100$, you'll be able to upgrade your vista only for 50$.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123451 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:54:42 +0100 Reply by r7an https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123449 cant work out why, but windows 7 has killed my download speed and upped my ping drastically - i used to get around 4 meg download now im lucky to get half a meg, ping wise i used to get around 20-40 on UK servers now i get 50-60 and its just unplayable on german servers i have done some research on this and i dont seem to be the only one with the same problem. apart from that - windows 7 is indeed awesome ps. this isnt a problem with my router/connection - my brothers and dads is fine as mine was before i had win7 Um, that's kind of the same thing with me. I just figured it was because I changed my internet. I ping around 65 on UK servers and 70-80 on european servers. My download speed is fine, though.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123449 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:46:37 +0100 Reply by Slick https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-2/?recent=123641#post=123448 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123448 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:44:06 +0100 Reply by kluniQ https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-1/?recent=123641#post=123442 cant work out why, but windows 7 has killed my download speed and upped my ping drastically - i used to get around 4 meg download now im lucky to get half a meg, ping wise i used to get around 20-40 on UK servers now i get 50-60 and its just unplayable on german servers i have done some research on this and i dont seem to be the only one with the same problem. apart from that - windows 7 is indeed awesome ps. this isnt a problem with my router/connection - my brothers and dads is fine as mine was before i had win7 that's weird, I'm actually getting better download speeds on win7 :/]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123442 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:15:11 +0100 Reply by evd_- https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-1/?recent=123641#post=123441 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=7782&post=123441 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:14:17 +0100 Reply by r7an https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-7782/page-1/?recent=123641#post=123437 Windows 7 is awesome, that is all.
