Two computers, different download speeds.
I have two computers setting next to each other and connected the same, as far as I know. (I think all connectors on the router are the same speed)
The first one an HP m495c has a 3.2 Ghz clock speed. Using >speedtest.net< it has a download speed of,
12.18 Mb/sThe second is a Dell GX 260 and has a 2.8 Ghz clock speed. It has a download speed of,
3.82 Mb/sI'm using Firefox, both computers are hardwired to a linksys 54G router, and an Arris CM550A modem.
Why is the Dell so slow, (other than it is a Dell)? What can I do to speed up the download speed. Thanks, Mikek
