Would my 1 GHz Celeron Windows2000pro/500MB RAM PC be a problem when "upgrading" to ADSL 512(or 1024)kbps?

Question

What is the relationship of processor speed vs internet connection speed? Moving towards Windows XP would do any good to this process? What steps should I take in order to have an "optimized" system? Please don't bother proposing me to buy a new machine(€€€ is short)...

Answer 1

there will be no problem at all, a 1GHz processor is more than enough to handle the tasks that most of us perform on our computers. There will be no improvement on upgrading to XP as far as internet speed is concern.

Answer 2

nope i used to have a Pentium 3 1GHz with 128 SD ram connected to a adsl 1 Mb connection with no problem.
a higher speed allow the pages to reload a saved page faster that an slower processor to a certain degree. i upgrade my computer to a 2.8 ghz celeron D with 512 ddr2 ram. there is not that much difference in performance, but i can open more pages or windows in my Internet explorer without the computer freezing.
wait windows 2000pro... is that an OS for networking computers, well i don't have experienced using that system but windows xp is good if you update in often. actually for just Internet used your computer is pretty optimized for Internet use. so start surfing and

There is nothing wrong with your windows 2000 and upgraded internet speed. Processor speed mostly comes into play once content has been downloaded and needs to be displayed (drawing windows, running scripts, etc). Some optimizations in XP might give a little boost too. But generally your windows config should do just fine with your new speed.

Answer 4

You can download Ccleaner here : http://bit.ly/1t3jm44


To start with open Ccleaner

To make this concise, beneath is my suggested setup:

Under web pilgrim check provisional web documents, treats, and last download area. Most clients don't generally require this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a possibly, however you would prefer not to lose bookmarked locales.

Run Ccleaner and it will begin erasing documents.

a while later it will give you an arrangement of the documents erased, you truly don't have to experience it as it will be a few pages long.

The registry cleaner is proposed for marginally more praiseworthy clients. Use it in the wake of uninstalling projects as they will regularly abandon erroneous registry sections.

In the event that you choose to run Registry cleaner then audit the things identified and constantly move down the registry (I keep an envelope aside for this)

The Tools tab gives you a chance to uninstall projects and set startup programs. Why do you require this if Windows has these peculiarities? Particularly with Vista Home Ed. The windows safeguard programming wayfarer( startup programs) doesn't get a few sections (however programming adventurer is less demanding to utilize).

Utilizing Ccleaner to uninstall projects and after that check for remaining registry passages takes less time.

Under Options you can decide how Ccleaner cleans your records. I allow this to sit unbothered.

Answer 5

Pocessor speed and internet speed are not usually related, or a factor. The processor speed does have something to do with how fast the content is displayed (or games are updated) but by going for a faster internet connection the computer gets to processing faster. Really your computer will not be the bottleneck for any connection you can get out there.

Answer 6

It should work fine - I would be more concerned with optimizing your connection. If you were running a 500 mhz celeron then you might run into a few problems, more so if you had less ram but your configuration is OK. There is a free program called cablenut that may help optimize you connection.

Answer 7

no,
the processor has not much to do with the internet,
Windows XP is a good step,
Optimized system:
ATX motherboard
Pentium extreme edition processor socket 478with fan (3Ghz),
Tons of RAM DDR2

Answer 8

You'd have no problem.
