I take it that the difference in processor > speed of 200MB is not enough to overcome the 512K L2 ?? L2 cache has little, if anything, to do with network throughput. You could start by stating what kind of internet connection you use, otherwise any speed rating you post is meaningless to list members. What OS are you running on each of these computers? The difference is most likely in the way TCP/IP settings are tweaked on each machine, along with other low-level settings. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Nomen dominii habeo, ergo sum. -- Joost van de Griek <http://www.jvdg.net/>
