Need some resaults...

Ok, I am testing just how much the Pentium 3 realy 'Helps you get intto the internet" So here is what I want...double click on your clock(for windows 95/98 only) and when the second hand gets to the top, click on the link below. Sell me how long the page takes to load in all, tell my your internet connection (ISDN, 56K, 28.8, etc..), your CPU stats (maker, MHZ, model, etc...) your operating system (Windows 95/Windows 98 only), your browser(with version #), and your RAM. I will give you an example:

4 seconds
Raod Runner (cable modem)
Pentium III - 450mhz, Intel
Windows 98
IE 5 - Microsoft
32mb

Cobain
You know very well that Intel are basically talking b__t. And you know very well that web access times have far more to do with your type of connection, your modem, line conditions, etc, etc than with your CPU. So why ask?

And, with the greatest respect, put aside just a little of that money you keep spending on upgrades and invest in a dictionary for c___sake! Your spelling's getting worse! I'll be in Florida in November; maybe I'll bring you one http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

BTW, it was 6 seconds with an old K6-2/300MHz.

I am taking a tv production class, I need these benchmrks for a story I am doing on fausle advertising.

[DavidX]

"fausle"!!! See what I mean!

Oh OK, other specs are 128Mb, Rockwell 56K ISA modem, Win98 and IE5. Happy? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[cobain1crt]

Thanks, by the way, I do not do the typing for the program, and I do have a dictionary, I just don't know where it is, IE 5 should have something built in for this...

[MrEd]

Ewe no, Eye God a reel grate spell checker ewe can burrow.

(Sorry, I just couldn't help it)

[DavidX]

LOL
Your dictionary has probably just rotted away from lack of use! IE5? Nah, you're relying too much on the PC. Sometimes low-tech answers (like good ol' books, for instance) are actually faster and better. Never mind though. You wouldn't be the same Cobain we all know and love if your spelling was suddenly squeaky clean http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[socalgal]

Well!! And I thought I was doing okay.

9 secs.
PIII 450
128mg PC100
Win98/IE5
USR 56k internal fax/modem (ISA)

gotta be my telephone lines....

[This message has been edited by socalgal (edited 06-17-99).]

[Mistr2]

6 seconds
Lancity (cable modem)
P2 233
96MB RAM
win2000 (beta 3)
IE 5

[Nathan G.]

6 seconds
Modem 49.33K (connect rate this time,so it sez)
p2-504MHz (P2-300 really)
Winblows 98
Diamond-Supra Max PCI modem (dont laugh -$29)
128MB Non-ECC
Netscape 4.5 (sorry, reason for edit)

This test proves nuthin!!(for you cobain hehe),other than the total signal path (you>modem>server.yadda,yadda ) is dynamic in terms of lag/transfer rates. Have you cleared you cache and re-sampled several times yourself Cobain? bet its different each run.
Measuring Kbps with a second hand of a clock must be a "little sloppy" at best.
But you asked for data, so i gave it to ya. could say more but you get the point.

56K @ 49.33 connect
USR/3COM ISA Voice/Fax
Intel PII450@527
Windows 98
Netscape 4.6
128Mb CL2 PC100

cobain1crt ~ Interesting revelation. So who does do the typing? Can't you proof read it? Don't you notice how others spell the same words you use?

[MrEd]

5 Sec
Cisco675 External / 3COMM 10baseT Ethernet Card (ADSL)
Celeron 400MHZ (not o/c'd)
160MB PC100 SDRAM (1-32 x 1-128)
Windows98
Netscape Communicator 4.61

Same after cache purge...

I like this setup much better than my old 56K.

Roy-- WTF!!! 3 SEC's-Geez!!!

[cobain1crt]

My co-producer does the typing, I just do the research. I have a nice little Excel worksheet going.

[Roy]

Where I work, illiterate co-producers end up parking cars or owning movie studios. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[cobain1crt]

Well, I failed parallel parking the first time around, so I guess I am headed for the big time!

[Bleeding Edge]

Less than 3sec.
Refresh at less than 2sec.
Connect at 50.66K NetCom/MindSpring
USR/3Com Courier v.everything
PII400 @ 464MHz.

[MrEd]

~~~~~WELL ****!!!~~~~~~~

[MadMax]

6 sec the first time, < 2 sec after.

AMD K6-2 300
3Com Impact IQ Ext. ISDN
Connect @64k BellSouth.Net
64Mb PC100
W98
Out of the box IE4

cobain~How many intelligent people do you think are out there that allow another person to make them look like an idiot, day after day, after day, after day......etc. If you can't spell very well, that's ok. If you're full of **** and trying to blame on some non-person, well, that's pretty sorry.

George Lucas was a "Co-Producer" once. How long would he have lasted if he produced that kind of illiteracy? About 5 minutes...

[cobain1crt]

Some impresive stuff! I will look for a page using the new P3 optimized code later (if it actualy exists yet!)

[Roy]

MrEd and all ~ Yup! 3-4 seconds consistently after exiting and reloading the browser. That's at 527.

Switching down to 300 it takes about 9-10sec. using the same repeated tests.

So processor speed really does make an important difference. I can't wait to OC a Coppermine PIII! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[socalgal]

I am irked: 3 secs? 5-6 secs?

I gotta do some tweaking or something here. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Edge, Roy what are you using GPS? lol


~~ EDIT

Ok this time @504 had slightly improved results. I must check those Registry tweaks!
This from hitting the link till Document:
Done

Netscape 4.5
1x = 7 secs
2x = 4 secs
3x - 4 secs

IE5
1x = 7 secs
2x = 4 secs
3x = 3 secs

A bit better ...

Cobain, you have lots of enthusiasm, inquisitiveness & energy, which are great things to have!

[This message has been edited by socalgal (edited 06-17-99).]

[DavidX]

Yup, about 2 seconds or less refresh, but 6 seconds after purging cache.

But the CPU speed does seem to make more of a difference than I thought. Maybe the PIII optimisations will make an even more dramatic difference. Cobain, my apologies! (And I certainly second what Socalgal said about you above.)

[Bleeding Edge]

Just performed what Roy did. 3 or 4 sec max.

MrEd.
DSL arrived to our area last month. Via BellAtlantic. If I could afford it, I'd change to DSL in a flash, 5 sec or not. At a total of $50 a month and a discounted ADSL modem/installation with a pre-paid one year subscription, that's $800 up front.

I guess I'm not ready for prime-time. Maybe later this year...

[This message has been edited by Bleeding Edge (edited 06-17-99).]

[MrEd]

Bleeding Edge ~ I've got dsl through USWEST, which is also my isp. They're deal was 110 for service setup, 110 or so for hardware installation, and 60/month for 512kbps connection. Since I installed the hardware myself, saved 110 bucks. I get phone and internet and cellular all on one bill. My phone bill is crazy, usually around 120/month. No contract, the only catch is if I disconnect service anytime within a year, they charge me another 110 for disconnection charge.

[cobain1crt]

Hmmm...still seems that there is no extra power, just browser tweeks and raw bandwith. I found some P3 optimized pages, but my 450 took like 5 minutes to load the whole page up on one, and the others were still very slow. Becides, you need a P3 to get in. O, one other thing...seems that ram also has a big effect, I just ordered 64mb more, that should hold off my computer sucking for a bit.

[BBA]

Less than 2 seconds on the initial link, slightly quicker after that!

Lancity cable modem, could have been quicker, but I had to use my stop watch to see!!

IE5 v5.00.2314.1003, Win98,128M, P3 450 at 558, AMD PCnet connected thru 100Mb hub to a P233MMX proxy server.

It took my proxy server P233MMX, 96M, 6 seconds with the same IE5 and direct connection to the Lancity.

Cobain, probably too late for your school project, but here it is anyway:

4 seconds
USR 56K Internal/Fax modem ISA
Pentium II - 350mhz, Intel
Windows 98
IE 5 - Microsoft(Neoplanet)
64RAM

I like your energy Cobain and your lack of flame type responses to members' critical posts. You have heart http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif I do agree though, you and your co-producer need to get your hands on a Webster's. I always keep a dogeared copy of a paperback Webster's within hands reach of my keyboard. This is just some friendly advice from a mother of a soon to be 13 year old http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Cobain, here's a couple of links to some online Dictionaries
www.onelook.com/ (http://www.onelook.com/)

Good luck with your project Cobain.
