Well, they base those Nx faster than DSL numbers off of 768k dsl...

7*768 = 5376k

To put it in perspective, I can download 4g (dvd size) in ~60minutes

I'd jump on it...10mb = just over 1MB/s. And I'm sure you're not paying much less for the DSL you have now, right?

So then I would be downloading at around 10000kb/s ?

Keep in mind that it's 10,000 kilobits per second, not kilobytes per second. Divide by 8 to get kilobytes per second = 1,250 KB/second = ~1.22 megabytes per second, which is quite decent by current standards.

Well, everyone, I hate to say this, but I play at 3Dice all the time. I have found that I can have a 2 week run of bad luck, followed by about a week of good luck. From my understanding of high variance, this would be within the norm. I do see many patterns repeated on thei slots. These patterns will continue for about 20,000 spins, then change to another pattern, which may or may not be in favor of the player. Overall, I see no real difference since Christmas.

You may simply need to divert some RAM at your on-board graphics card. This solution helps on MG slot tournaments btw, so read how to do it here.

FYI I run a 1.6Ghz AMD with 1024meg RAM and it runs just fine - although its right on the edge as after a looong 3Dice session I sometimes need to reboot if I want to run something heavy after. But I'm talking 4/5 hr sessions or longer and may be down to stuff i run alongside, so take that with a pinch o' salt.

Please do a copy and paste here. The up and down speed, please include both. Remember to have nothing else accessing the net at the same time. Also.......include what your ISP says your maximum up and down speed is supposed to be, please.

It's fine if you want to wait till tomorrow.

Thank you for being this patient bb, here are the results of mine

I guess its not good..
