Hi there,
I have a question about running broadband on a windows 98 se PC

Obviously the spec of my pc is not cutting edge, (processor speed etc) It
came with windows 98 se back in 2000, but I run via ethernet /router a
broadband connection.

The advertised speed is 3 MbPS I get something like 500 kbPS .

Out of interest which factors could be slowing done my pc ?
Could it be my operating system ? or is it likely that my processor speed is
the main culprit-

Thanks in anticipation ps I presume my ISP is up to scratch !

If you know someone else using the same provider and ADSL ask them. I'm not
so sure that what your getting is not fairly normal.
