I was just on MSNBC trying to see a news interview. I had to quit and forget it because it would download for 3 seconds and then play for 3 seconds. I have seen a few items that would play through, but not many. I can't see a lot of good stuff that is on the net. This Yahoo downloads at about 330 and uploads at 280. Am I going to have to go to a high dollar service to get to see the internet as it should be?
Thanks

That depends on what you have now, Dial-up?
Your specs are low key, that hurts a lot as well. What's your gfx memory?
To find this, download Everest Home from here: |MG| EVEREST Free Edition 2.20
Install, run, and click on display, then gpu, and post what it says next to memory size

Looks like I need to edit my profile. This is a dual core INTEL DQ965GF 200 MEG & 200 MEG MEM. 330 mbps dsl. I didn't realize that yall looked at that before answering the question. I guess it makes sense. The guy that built it for me for $1200.00 said that it is first class but I see a lot of them with dual core selling for $700.00 and I don't know the difference in chips. I told him that I wanted a computer that I wouldn't have to sit around and wait for a video for 5 min. to load up. I have an old throw-down comp. here that does about the same. I was guessing it is the Yahoo is too slow and if that is so ...'that jus ain't right' to advertize how fast it is.
Thanks

200meg, do you mean 2000meg as in 2GB ram?
What's your ISP, this affects your speed as well

Yes, I meant 2 Gig. Am I a hard guy to help? Internet is from ATT/Yahoo

No not at all, your specs are remarkably similar to the PC in my office (my parent's PC), Dual Core 2.6ghz, 2GB ram, AT&T, and amazingly enough, they have lag issues as well, yet my lower spec PC doesn't, I'm on wireless and they're hard wired to the modem as well, it's a strange issue but one I can't help with.
At first I thought it was your low key specs but that is clearly not the case, the only suggestion I can offer is to use CCleaner to clear out temp files and all that other stuff the internet leaves behind
CCleaner - Download
When installing make sure to deselect the option to install the Yahoo toolbar

Thanks for your answers. I haven't tried CCleaner yet but I will. One fellow told me that my DSL is actually a slow one at 330 MB/S and I would have to let go of some money and buy a faster ISP, but I don't think so as I get some good downloads of audio/video sometimes. I'm going to go slow since this seems to be so prevalent that someone may hit me with the answer.
