8139a family ethernet adapter
I changed my default/defined 8139a from RealTek to
OvisLink 8139a in both D: XP and C: ME on this HP Pavilion 8776C. These adapter definitions are both readily available with adapter driver change to anyone with the windows versions. Aside from "Family", {(XP) thinks I'm in some kind of network when really, this is just a computer that connects direct through an Ericssen cable modem}, I don't know what really is changed, but the high speed streams that I watch with Media 9 Quick time and Real players are noticeably clearer to me. I am not trying to promote anything here, maybe it is my imagination but, if someone confirms that this sort of change can make a difference, it may then be of use to other users. If you are in the same boat, you can try it. Cheers |
