should i get cable inet?

[musak99]

i have a pent133/64mb/2gig HD. i want to get cable
internet. will my cable modem connection suck b/c of my bad computer? i understand that the graphics of websites will be slow like the way it is currentley on my 56k but will the download speed off programs like kazaa or mirc (which run perfectly fine on mu 56k) be slow b/c of my crap computer?

by all means get the cable isp the graphics will still be incredibly fast on your machine as they are all 2d and are rendered very fast your processor is fine also .. now I'm not saying you don't need a faster \ better system but it won't have a significant impact on your speed increase you will see with cable .. Go For It !!!! you will not regret it

You definitely need to upgrade your system. A lot of site have many features that really need a faster system.

your computer will slow things down at a point, but that point is still 50 times faster than dial up.

Having cable internet is like having a crack pipe filled magically with crack every time you need to take a hit. I would never give up my cable.

as soon as you get a fast connectoin, you will <b>NEED</b> a large hard drive

I must say that's an interesting analogy.

56k wastes too much of you life waiting. With cable you can be in and done in no time. Just the way it should be. (I like the crack analogy)

Your 2 gig hard drive will blow up if you get cable. Buy a hard drive first.

check with the cable provider. some do have minimum requirements that u must have to use their setup. my cable company requires a minimum PII 266
