An article about a piece of software....System Mechanic 3.5....sounds interesting. twcny.rr.com I found the Internet-speed enhancement very effective. On a PC that I had tweaked myself for what I thought was the best possible connection speed, System Mechanic produced an overall increase of 50 to 60 percent. Even more amazing was the jump in the peak rate (the momentary top speed in that PC's connection). It rose by 400 percent. On another PC that used the stock Microsoft settings under Windows 98 SE, System Mechanic boosted the peak rate by 800 percent. Overall speed went up by more than 100 percent. Both PCs were connected to Time Warner's Roadrunner high-speed cable system. When I tried System Mechanic's optimization over a dialup Internet connection -- the kind that uses a phone line and a modem -- speeds went up by a much smaller percentage. Windows isn't able, by itself, to maximize connection speed over Road Runner and other high-speed linkups, but it does fairly well on its own over standard dialup connections.
