I have an Athlon 650@715 w/ 128MB of ram. It's fast. Things are = generally fast. However I'm having a few problems.=20 First let me say, I had this hard drive in a Celeron 333. I then moved = it to the Athlon, and upgraded(via cvsup) from 4.0-current to = 4.1-stable. The make world was fine. No problems, other than = softupdates(where did it go?!?). Ok anyway, now these are the problems. I'm using XFree86 4.0 w/ a = GeForce256. I installed the binaries. Everything is fine, however, = netscape takes FOREVER(read: 2 to 3 minutes) to load. So does Licq. = Also, in the console, BitchX takes a long time to load. After about 1 or = 2 minutes, it finally loads.=20 Problem #2 has to do with my NIC. I've got 2 NIC's of different brands. = They do, however, use the same device in the kernel, dc0. One of them is = the Linksys LNE100TX, and the other is some CNET card.(macronix i = think). The CNET card works perfectly. The Linksys is connected to my = DSL. I have a problem downloading files. It will download part of the = file, then stop. For example, I was downloading cvsup from = ftp.freesoftware.com. It STOPPED at 480k. It goes about 20-60k/sec, then = stops. It does this using "ftp" or netscape. It also did it with = BitchX(but i'm not sure if it stopped at 480k). When I tried to cvsup, = it would go for a while, then stop. I then connected my DSL to my CNET = card, and everything worked fine. I'd really like to know what's going = on though, because I moved my DSL back to the Linksys.=20 Thanks in advance for any help.=20 Scott Myron ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C01075.399E5630 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello.
