How do I test my Internet connection speed?
by Jay 
Maybe your Internet Service Provider doesn't accurately give you a good estimate of how fast your Internet connection is. Some people misunderstand that an Internet connection speed of say 246kbps is not Kilobytes per second but kilobits per second.
If you think that your internet connection speed is about one tenth of what you thought it would be then this is why. A kilobit is relatively the same as one tenth of a kilobyte. Internet Service Proviers will advertize there connection speeds in megabits per second or in kilobits per second.

How does a hard drive slow down a PC?
by Jay
There are some people who believe that a computer's hard drive is the bottleneck to a computer. That is, that a hard drive's performance is what is slowing down computers today. The truth is that it is some ways and isn't in other ways. The hard drive obviously will not slow down gaming performance a whole lot but it will effect load times in computer games and computer programs.
