Hey guy, I want to thank you all first for giving a look into my issues. You guys have been very helpful to me the past few days ^^.
Anyhow, I've just finish building my first pc and Still working on quite a bit to fix performance. One thing that was odd was the speed of my computer. It is quad-core 4.10 ghz with 8gb ram so it shouldn't be slow, or "that" slow. I am using a pci express wireless card for internet and it has been terrible. My internet is slower than my old laptop surprisingly. Sometime it gets limited connectivity. I check the specs of the card and it says it can max out at 300 mph, but realistically I know its probably only half of that. So I check on task manager to see the wifi speed (windows 8) and saw the most I was getting is 40 kph. Is this a settings issue or am I better off buying a new card? Also I'm not sure if this plays a role, but my wireless router is downstairs to my pc, but still, my laptop gets much more signal. Much help is appreciated!
