How To Speed Up Firefox/Broadband Connection
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
if u guys hv any other way how to speed up ur broadband connection then can discuss here..

Good info this. :DTambah sket more detailed instructions utk non-techie users:
1. Utk users yg tak tau camna nak tukar 'false' ke 'true', just double-click Preference Name yg disebut di atas.
2. Utk buat new interger tu, mula2 akan kuar dialog Preference Name - letak "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" situ and click OK. Next screen baru type in "30". rasa macam laju sekejap je..pastu jadi cam biasa balik :o

What is the difference between POP and IMAP protocol ?
POP stands for Post Office Protocol and is a simple set of instructions that let your computer retrieve messages from the BOL mail server.IMAP stands for Internet Mail Access Protocol and allows a "client" email program to access a message stored at a remote location as if they were on the local computer.
Generally, you want to use POP if you access your mail from one computer , and IMAP if you need to manipulate your mail from more than one computer, say an office and a home computer. Below is a table to help you understand which service fits you better.
POP service POP was designed for, and works best in, the situation where you use only a single desktop computer.
Normally, messages are downloaded to your desktop computer and then deleted from the mail server.
If you choose to work with your POP mail on more than one machine, you may have trouble with email messages getting downloaded on one machine that you need to work with on another machine; for example, you may need a message at work that was downloaded to your machine at home.
If you choose the POP option "keep mail on server", your POP "inbox" can grow large and unwieldy, and email operations can become inefficient and time-consuming.
Your archive of mail, if you have one, is kept on your desktop computer - you generally need little storage space on the mail server.
IMAP service:IMAP is designed for the situation where you need to work with your email from multiple computers, such as your workstation at work, your desktop computer at home, or a laptop computer while traveling.
Messages are displayed on your local computer but are kept and stored on the mail server -you can work with all your mail, old and new, from any computer connected to the internet.
You can create subfolders on the mail server to organize the mail you want to keep. However, these subfolders, as well as its contents work against your total email quota of 75MB.

How the proxy server works ?
Once you have configured your web browser as described, your browser will load a CGI script each time it is restarted. This script redefines the function that determines how to fetch the URL that is being requested. If the URL matches a pattern or a site that requires a proxy, it will connect to the proxy server rather than going directly to the site.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------(USR = User on IBM.Net or another ISP; PXY = BOL web proxy server; SRV = web server restricted to UCLA)
Step 1: User starts browser, connects to proxy server to get the Proxy Automatic Configuration (PAC) file. fetch request: proxy.ucla.edu/cgi/proxy
+-----+ +-----+ U P S ==================> X R Y +-----+ +-----+
Step 2: Proxy server returns "proxy", which configures browser to do proxying.
+-----+ +-----+ U "proxy" loaded P S <================== X R Y +-----+ +-----+
Step 3: User requests URL, URL compared against function retrieved from "proxy", connection route is determined.
Step 4a: Route for URL returned from function is "DIRECT" (no proxy required). Browser retrieves URL directly. (*Note: At this point, every URL returns "DIRECT" unless it is one that is known to restrict access to ucla.edu*)
+-----+ +-----+ U fetch URL S S <==================> R R V +-----+ +-----+
Step 4b1: Route for URL returned from function is "PROXY xxxxx" (proxy required). Browser contacts proxy server and requests page.
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ U request URL P S S ==================> X R R Y V +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
Step 4b2: Proxy contacts server and requests page.
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ U P request URL S S X ==================> R R Y V +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
Step 4b3: Server sees request from ucla.edu domain (proxy address) and returns URL to proxy.
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ U P return URL S S X <================== R R Y V +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
Step 4b4: Proxy returns URL to User.
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ U return URL P S S <================== X R R Y V +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ da penah buat, tapi tak buat yg nombor 3. thanks 4 d info.
Another 10 ways to speed up your PC
I’ve just finished setting up a new PC for a friend and I think some of you will be interested in some of the tweaks I make to all of my PCs to make them quicker. I’ve focused here on the ones which are simple to do and won’t cause problems if you get it wrong, rather than listing registry tweaks etc.1. Disable Indexing Services
Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:
* Go to Start
* Click Settings
* Click Control Panel
* Double-click Add/Remove Programs
* Click the Add/Remove Window Components
* Uncheck the Indexing services
* Click Next
2. Optimise Display Settings
Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can waste system resources. To optimise:
* Go to Start
* Click Settings
* Click Control Panel
* Click System
* Click Advanced tab
* In the Performance tab click Settings
* Leave only the following ticked:
* Show shadows under menus
* Show shadows under mouse pointer
* Show translucent selection rectangle
* Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop
* Use visual styles on windows and buttons
3. Speedup Folder Browsing
You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly:
* Open My Computer
* Click on Tools menu
* Click on Folder Options
* Click on the View tab.
* Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
* Click Apply
* Click Ok
* Reboot your computer
4. Disable Performance Counters
Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC’s performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.
To disable:
* download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List
* Then select each counter in turn in the ‘Extensible performance counters’ window and clear the ‘performance counters enabled’ checkbox at the bottom.button below
5. Improve Memory Usage
Cacheman Improves the performance of your computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory and a number of other settings.
Once Installed:
* Go to Show Wizard and select All
* Run all the wizards by selecting Next or Finished until you are back to the main menu. Use the defaults unless you know exactly what you are doing
* Exit and Save Cacheman
* Restart Windows
6. Optimise your internet connection
There are lots of ways to do this but by far the easiest is to run TCP/IP Optimizer.
* Download and install
* Click the General Settings tab and select your Connection Speed (Kbps)
* Click Network Adapter and choose the interface you use to connect to the Internet
* Check Optimal Settings then Apply
* Reboot
7. Optimise Your Pagefile
If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file.
* Right click on My Computer and select Properties
* Select the Advanced tab
* Under Performance choose the Settings button
* Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
* Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.
Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.
8. Run BootVis - Improve Boot Times
BootVis will significantly improve boot times
* Download and Run
* Select Trace
* Select Next Boot and Driver Trace
* A Trace Repetitions screen will appear, select Ok and Reboot
* Upon reboot, BootVis will automatically start, analyze and log your system’s boot process. When it’s done, in the menu go to Trace and select Optimize System
* Reboot.
* When your machine has rebooted wait until you see the Optimizing System box appear. Be patient and wait for the process to complete
9. Remove the Desktop Picture
Your desktop background consumes a fair amount of memory and can slow the loading time of your system. Removing it will improve performance.
* Right click on Desktop and select Properties
* Select the Desktop tab
* In the Background window select None
* Click Ok
10. Remove Fonts for Speed
Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts down to just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require.
* Open Control Panel
* Open Fonts folder
* Move fonts you don’t need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.
