<I'm not the best guy to ask since I jumped from a 166 MHz Pentium to a 1.4 GHz Pentium 4. However I saw a big increase in web access speed on my cable modem, and I can now run Flight Sim 2000 and Quake III, where I could not before. Richard, I also upgraded from a 166 to a 1 GHz pentium and saw some improvement but didn't really experience anything great until I got the cable modem last month. The speed is incredible and for the life of me I can't understand why excite @home is having such a difficult time staying alive. I supppose Comcast of course doesn't really have to provide anything more than the speed in which they could eliminate @home and let everyone use a different browser. The cost of switching from Earthlink to @home minus one phone line is an additional $5.00 per month. The only problem is my neighbor saw the Comcast truck at my home and more in my development are jumping on the pipeline. Hope this doesn't suck up the speed. Ted
