Hey, I have just built a new pc and everything is working great. I did notice though that my download speed has almost halfed compared to my old computer. I used to get over 1MB/s but now get around 0.55MB/s. Reading online, some say that this could be the fault of the network driver.
I didn't download the driver from the internet beforehand so I had to install the network driver from the CD that came with the motherboard (all other drivers from asrock website). The version I installed is 15.4.0.9 and it is a Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet network. I am using an ethernet connection to the PC, exactly the same as I used with my old computer.
When I checked the asrock website for the motherboard drivers, I noticed the LAN driver on their website is ver:14.8.4.1. The number is lower than the one from the driver CD and windows also says I have the latest version, but this is the one asrock are listing on their website. Should I use this driver instead?
