I found this interesting...

I thought I would try out that speed test again:

Here is what it looks like on my desktop:


And on my laptop, via wireless connection to the router:


Both my desktop and laptop are within 5 feet of the router at the moment. The desktop is connected directly to the router via ethernet. I do see a noticeable difference in download speed. No wonder videos load faster on my desktop than laptop :P

As well as it works when it works, my HP desktop has really given me A LOT of trouble since I bought it, brand new, in August 2007. I have put at least half of the original worth of the computer into fixing it since. Up until February 2008, there was an issue with bad ram, and the computer would freeze multiple times a day, not to mention the BSOD that also occurred multiple times a day as well. It contracted multiple viruses at the beginning of this year, and I had to have it reformatted yet again this past February. Now all of a sudden, it appears as though the motherboard has failed, which I would imagine the replacement to is not going to be cheap. I am still paying off my laptop, so I don't have the money for another month to pay for this. I am not getting high marks from HP due to all of this. I'm fortunate though to have a laptop to use while this is ongoing and an external hard drive where I do all of my file operations in to begin with.

Let me rant about HP for a minute...

I have always had a STRONG hate for HP. Every person I knew throughout my life that had an HP had tons of problems with it from my Omnibook 6000 literally falling apart right in-front of me. My friends HP's motherboard and power supply dying and so on...

As of right now, being the sole IT person for a medium size company I have experienced first hand the support given by a multitude of computer companies. We have mostly Dells but we have three identical HP/Compaq NX9420 business grade notebooks that were bought by our former IT Manager. Well about a year ago we installed a $30,000 Cisco wireless network throughout our two buildings (yea 30 grand!) Well since day one none of the HPs have been able to connect to it however we have three Dell Latitudes, my MacBook Pro, my iPhone, two Acer notebooks, one Dell Optiplex, and nine Symbol MC9090 PocketPC handhelds that all can connect to our wireless without issue. So clearly something is wrong with the HPs, right? So I took one of them, upgraded the drivers, upgraded the BIOS, re-installed Windows, then contacted HP and changed the wireless card, then sent it in for the motherboard to be replaced and it STILL will NOT connect! I have called support numerous times and I have to explain the whole situation to them again (I guess they are just too lazy to read the case notes) and every time I end up with the same result "Someone from executive support will call you within 24 hours" well guess what, they don't! So I went to the Consumerist, got the Executive Customer Service number and got a hold of someone there who put me in contact with an Executive Technician, I explained my situation to him, he said that he would discuss it with the Engineers and call me back in a half an hour, that was 19 hours ago!  :wall:

I am at my wits end with HP, I have ALWAYS told people to steer clear of HPs and I personally have never bought an HP after my Omnibook and NEVER WILL.  :censored:  :censored:

Ouch, that sounds awful. I never knew HP could have issues like that.

I thought HP computers were pretty good as several of my friends had no problems with them, but Kyle's rant and Aaron's current struggles are making me think twice about ever getting one in the future. :unsure:  Good luck with your computer issues, Aaron.
