How capable is A4000 online?
« on: January 14, 2009, 08:24:58 PM »
Hi all,

My question, I have a A4000D w/WarpEngine-040,Picasso IV, RAM maxed out, all SCSI, etc.  I have just done a fresh install of OS3.9 along with AmigaSYS package.  Workbench feels relatively snappy but when connecting with my X-Surf to my cable router to get online... the internet is dog slow - I mean R-E-A-L-L-Y slow.  

I have tried both MiamiDX and Genesis(that came with OS3.9) and don't really see a difference.

Is it just the specs of my machine or does is sound like a bad install somewhere?

Thanks,
Tim

Actually I've tried the non-registered I-Browse (although I have a purchased key which I am unsure will work with newer versions but will try tonite)and A-Web (or what ever its called that came with OS3.9).

The only site other than Google that I've tried is this one.  Screen graphics pop up excruciatingly slow.

Also, what is this MNI driver and where is it available.

I am just using the SANA-II driver that the install defaults to.  A visit to the Individual Computers didn't shed to much light on the driver situation for me.

Thanks so much everybody!
Tim

Well I'm NOT expecting quad-core speed or anything near that, sheesh! :crazy:

What I consider 'Dog-Slow' would be pull up 'www.amiga.org', go make pot of coffee, walk to mailbox, get mail, come back, open mail, read mail.....home page not yet quite loaded.. Ok, I'm exagerrating a bit but it is really slow loading.:lol:

I know an old '040' old Amiga would be slow but.. :-?   I figured it must be sumthin else, hence the reason for my posting.

Thanks
Tim
