These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Another issue with the internal player used in Limewire is low sample rate recordings don't appear to play correctly 64kbs for example... they sound chopped up but the same files play fine when using Real Player or other external players.  |

| Choppy sound when downloading ? What cheap-*** HD are you using ? Choppy sound because of busy HD is the lamest excuse I heard sofar . You can pick up a 40GB DeskStar 120GXP at IBM for 70 bucks ! And the 120GXP line is their top-model IDE disk . http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/desk/ds120gxp.htm I have the 40GB model and SMART enabled . I haven't had one single HD error yet . |

| Your processor is plain too slow . This has nothing to do with your HD . Replace that 400Mhz with something over 1 Ghz and you will see that the HD was not the cause of those "hiccups" . Most PII motherboards also take PIII's . (the same socket) And PIII's go up to 1.3 Ghz . You can still upgrade that machine for a minimal amount of $$$ |

| I would think adequate RAM would be an issue in performance also. I have always found there is a sweet spot in memory once you get to that point adding more RAM will not bring as great an improvement... but too little RAM can cause VERY suggish performance... in a case like this your PC may be swapping memory to the hard drive due to inadequate free RAM causing a real bottleneck due to contention for HD access.

 Peerless, don't get fixated on just the physical amount of RAM. You may be able to tweak (overclock) that RAM you have, and see a difference in your pc's performance that you can actually notice. This depends on your BIOS and how much that it allows you to tweak. If your RAM is PC100, check to see if your BIOS will allow you to set to run at 133mhz. Or perhaps you can increase your FSB incrementally by 1mhz at a time, however this capability is a longshot with an off-the-shelf system. But you could be lucky. Also, and here is where you'll probably realize the most significant gains in performance, if you can select a CAS rating that is lower than your current setting, let's say going from CAS3 to CAS2, you'll be amazed. However, if your pc won't boot up after lowering the CAS and increasing the FSB, and you must choose between one tweak or the other, go with the lowered CAS rating, hands down. I don't know if all that I am saying is old news to you or not, but I hope it helps. Good luck, and I hope you can squeeze a little more performance out that dinosaur. And best of all, if you can, it didn't cost you a dime. |

| Hey, I agree, upgrading from 64meg oto 256 is certainly one of the best things you could have done to increase your pc's performance. I'm just trying to help, and I apologize, "fixated" was a poor choice of words. I know this is getting away from this thread's topic, but I just want to quantify my earlier post. Most RAM, if not all RAM will run @ a faster FSB than it is rated. If you have PC100, then the manufacturer guarantees your RAM to run @ 100mhz without errors, BSOD, etc. The CAS rating in layman's terms is how many clock cycles the RAM requires to perform it's READs and WRITEs. CAS3 requires 3 clock cycles, and CAS2 requires 2. So, if you have PC100 CAS3, and in your BIOS manually set it to CAS2, you'll effectively increase your RAM's speed by 30%! WOWIE! Using this method, only your RAM is overclocked. However, if you overclock by increasing the FSB, you overclock EVERYTHING, the CPU, your modem, sound card, video card, and card in an expansion slot is overclocked. So, you may find that your CPU and RAM will be held back by some other component that is preventing you from oc'ing further. An excellent site to visit for AMD overclocking is www.forumoc.com and for Inhel, ah hem, I mean Intel is www.hardocp.com. Have fun, and remember: If it ain't broke, overclock it. :-) |
