  • andrew522, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1woah that has happened to me when I was downloading some stuff off usenet, and playing some music on winamp at the same time. I knew it wasnn't my computer, because its an Asus G1S, with 4gb of RAM. Bioshock is about the only thing that makes it go to full performance.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1A fix so you can play sound and have a good network perfomance... I think the 'Wow' starts now.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Can someone confirm this is a fix?
  • royeiror, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2didn't know this happened, but it's good to have it fixed before i noticed
  • Philluminati, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1doesn't that service control the throttling? and If you turn it off aren't you at risk of having high network traffic making your videos judder?

    Also, is this last dialog really Vista's copy dialog? http://courtneymalone.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/working2.jpg
    It doesn't seem to tell you what the file your copying is called.
