Posted October 27, 200717 yr I have two systems (specs appended below). On the supposedly weaker system (Dell Inspiron 600m laptop), streaming works just fine, even at 700k. On the supposedly more powerful system (HP Multimedia PC) streaming even at 400k is subject to pauses and jerkiness. This is on the same network, with the same streaming source (icenetwork.com). I have even run both simultaneously (to eliminate possible differences in the server network quality at different times) and the laptop still performs better than the multimedia pc. Can anybody suggest why the weaker system performs better? And how I could get the Multimedia PC to live up to it's potential? TIA, -Richard M.
