hey hey hey... calling your clients slow will not go over well! ;-) seriously though, with the amount of java scripting these days P4s should still be able to keep up, that being said, moving to faster java scripting browsers like chrome should help tremendously, just run your own tests on your own computer here:
speedtest http://www.2wire.com/bandwidth/initialmeter.php http://www.2wire.com/bandwidth/represent.php What does this test actually measure? This connection tests how fast your computer can load a Web page from the 2Wire Website. It does not measure the speed of your ISP connection, but rather the speed at which the page is received and appears in your browser. Why do other "bandwidth" meters give different results? Bandwidth does not always mean the same thing. Other meters measure how fast your connection is able to find a requested Website, or how fast you can send and receive email. How do I determine if my results are good or poor? Your results should be consistent and should not change dramatically. If you receive inconsistent results, such as a high number then a low number, you may be experiencing a problem with your connection. -Francisco http://bit.ly/sqlthis | Tsql and More... <http://db.tt/JeXURAx> On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 04:21, Thane Sherrington < [email protected]> wrote: > I'm looking for a method of comparing browsing speed on different > computers.
