If you are having speed problems
A VM Tech installed SG TCP Optimiser onto my PC.
http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php Under general settings set the slider to 100+mbps and set "optimal settings". My 100mbps connection was solid until the free upgrade to 150mbps. It then dropped to 85mbps. This program has solved my speed problem altogether! :D |

Increases the TCP Receive Window size for O/S that don't have auto-scaling. I used it on my old Windows 95 laptop when I was testing 152Mb. Windows 7/8 shouldn't need it (as it has auto-tuning), unless you're in a high utilisation area (to squeeze a bit more out of the network). Which O/S do you have and what's your computer spec? |

Re: If you are having speed problems
I ran another brand of auto optimiser only a few months ago. Maybe it needed that extra poke to get moving again?

Your CPU is more than capable of 300Mb+ (I'm running 300Mb on a slightly lower spec processer than you). Note: 3GB is WAAY too low for Vista/7 and will be thrashing the hard disk all the time, slowing your computer down. Get some more RAM! I have 6 GB and recommend 8 GB. Check Windows Resource Monitor while running a speed test to see if the Disk activity is maxing out. Anyway, either you screwed something up with the last optimiser that TCP optimiser had to fix, or your area is over-utilised like I've been saying all along. |

3GB max RAM for this motherboard. :(
Virtual memory has always been turned off to STOP any disk thrashing. I often run 2 browsers, DVD authoring software, file conversion programs and a graphics program at the same time at high speed. The only programs I had speed problems with were Chrome (memory hog) and sometimes Firefox (something to do with a plugin, possibly Flash). |

I turned off indexing, backups and Superfetch on Windows 7 (Superfetch was fine for a while and then went crazy). Quote:

Re: If you are having speed problems
It's only because my old overused and trustworthy laptop is on a 32 bit system.

Re: If you are having speed problems
I tried what the op said, didn't make a difference I know it's like 9pm nearly when I did the test but I'm not in a congested area....even on wifi finder it doesn't find any VM user near me and VM staff on the forums have said my area isn't congested this is tested wired and I also get the same results wifi

I have restricted finances that are about to get much worse due to pensions starting (daft but sadly very true) so a new PC is a distant dream. :( |
