PENTIUM 4-HELP
Please forgive me, I know very little about my computer. Since I had my system delivered, I have had problems. I am unsure if its working correctly. How can I tell if my system is working as fast as it should? When I am on the internet, a web pages takes 25-45 sec to load. Is this normal and does the Pentium 4 have anything to do with it? Also, when I am trying to listen to music, the radio station, skips a lot(buffering). Is this my system that will not allow music to play smoothly?
Thanks
Thanks

- none of the things you mention are caused by your computer!!!
your problem is your "internet connection speed"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am assuming you use a dial-up modem to connect right? if you have a cable or DSL connection then you definatly do have a problem. if it is a dial-up connection then welcome to the "SLOW CLUB"! what you should do is try going to the DEMENSION-MODEM/FAX section of dell talk and ask the pros in there what you might need to do to "tweak" your connection speed. they give good advice and can usually help.
if that fails to do the trick you can also call your ISP (intenet service provider) for any help they may suggest. good luck!!!!!

Pogie,
You might be interested in ClickRadio. A musician friend lent me the cd for it because he says he really, really likes it. He has a Gateway and uses Win ME with AOL. Sounded and worked great on his computer. I tried to install it but I do not think it is compatible with W2k. Maybe it will work for you.
You can download it from here:

If you have a dial-up connection (as opposed to DSL) what you are describing is normal and has nothing to do with your computer.
