why web pictures slow?
Though it wasn't a priority when I bought it I wonder if there's
something I can do about this apparent weakness of my new laptop. Admittedly it's about the cheapest new one money can buy (=A3450), but it does most things very well including recording my acoustic guitar, playing DVD films. It's a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo, 1500mhz. Is it just that I've become used to seeing broadband speeds in internet cafes and libraries, or is there something about the computer, possibly upgradable, that makes for pictures, specifically photos on websites transferring to the computer slowly. In the ten days I've owned it I have only used about one fifth or less of the hd memory for software and copied CDs, and even demanding tasks like recording the guitar seem to use a tiny fraction fo the RAM, so I don't think it's short-changed there. Because it handles the DVDs - and games, not that I play them really - I was surprised that these photos were downloading slowly. Most of its slots are USB, if that helps, regarding any possible add-on. I don't really regard this as a problem as such, because I don't really use the internet, but if there's a fuss-free way round it that'd be a good bonus. If I had broadband would it merely be that my general connection would be faster but that the photos would still be pretty slow? Any tips are welcome. |

I have a 56k dial-up connection at the moment. There is a mention of
LAN in the manual but I don't know anything about this. Would Broadband make up all the difference? |
