Next step, cool Dietmar

10 MB/s is what I have and I am perfectly content with it, I could buy a replacemnt router with a gigabit port and get "up to" 300 Mbit, but I can't afford a decent mikrotik router. Only efficient old software can reach high speeds, not a web browser in typical use.

longstanding misskey.io issue will be somewhat fixed in next build.

10-40 MB/s sounds slow to me. But I had to learn something new... From here: https://www.techcalc.org/blog/mbps-vs-mbps-download-speed-explained My wireless fluctuates between 46 and 66 MB/s. So yeah, 10 on a wired is a definite sad face.

@deomsh thank you for all of this info! Notes below with @Drew Hoffman HDA.SYS renamed HDA.BAK for testing purely Watler's. 1) Noted! I will leave the PCI registers alone for now. 2) The AFG reports some GPI/O - please see codec response log file attached below for full verb parameter responses. Response on AFG is $40000005 (reports 5 GPI/O's). 3) Until now I only unmuted outputs, but tested also with combined output and input payloads as you mentioned using $00C3F03F (F:Set out+In_L+R, 0: Index 0, 3F: Unmute and volume to 3F). Also $0143F03F. No change with these. Sleeping Widget) I tried $02. No change with this. Volume) According to DAC1 at reset AmpOut is set to $57 which when checking steps settings is 0dB and unmuted. I maybe read somewhere that amp gain is added together if you also set it on mixer and pin widget (but maybe I am imagining this and instead it adds L+R channels?). I thought if I set $57 also on Mixer and Pin Widget the amp gain becomes $57 + $57 + $57 at LineOut.. I think I am wrong here maybe..? Power Verbs) At the beginning of testing I set $00170500 and also $0C and $14 to 70500 to power on the nodes to D0 state, however checking F05 readings in HDAICIN without 705 set at reset: all nodes showing $00000000 (D0 power state) so I assume not needed to be set. Maybe I am wrong here and reading $00000000 could also mean no reading at all, therefore the 705 verbs are required? So I tested with that but no difference in result. Further) That is great you have a quasi-universal HDAICOUT.HDA that works on multiple codecs! Hopefully I can help confirm some more codecs for this. Please see image here with quick lookup reference I made from GET verbs and the responses that helped me map this codec. I am lost at what the vendor defined audio widgets could be. Any idea for these? CODEC RESPONSES.TXT

That's because I should be getting ~40MB/s. I'm connected here in a rather weird way via cable from the providers modem in the neighbouring house to my router and then via cable to my PC.

@Damnation I think, it can be done for any Nic, as long as you have Linux, where you can spy. But it is soso crazy hard work. I notice for example, that I always get Bsod D1, which I cannot catch with Windbg, only when you make an offline check of it. It happens, when the lan cable is connected at boottime, but parts of the driver have not loaded to full, so happens this Bsod even everything is "ok". Now I understand, why on many compis there is always a big time delay, before you get connected via lan Dietmar

@Dietmar Do you think you'd be able to make a similar driver for realtek 2.5gb NICs at some point in the future? I don't have any hardware with intel i219 NICs.

I created a separate VM for plain KernelEx 2022 (.18 and later updates + Kex22) with no modifications to Kstub and Firefox 29 works there with XP mode. Unsure if it's your non-SSE2 hardware, more likely related to how you setup KernelEX. Also you might need to take a look at sqlite 3.50.1 issue thats happening on Roytam1 browsers post-2025.05.31, those break "Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows" and history (if transferred from XP) on 98/ME.

I was unable to get any browser later than FF28 to load (and even that crashed at exit), so I wrote a small test app to raise various exceptions. I've added to Finesse basic support for several new continuable exception types, but still need to add detail reporting and make it all more robust.

I had selected to not use New Reddit in preferences. Apparently, now adding "old" to the address makes it faster again. Previously there was no difference, and I could get to the old reddit by following someone elses link without old. I see in the network log that it repeatedly loads the same things. And the scripts get processed again and again, causing the whole loading take about 1 minute. https://i.imgur.com/WUe9nev.png Scrolled down a bit, the same: https://i.imgur.com/cyP79MP.png I have talked to a couple websites in the outcome was just them saying to use modern stuff, so it is not really productive. 10 MB/s is the speed of fast ethernet, why the sad face, lol. The limitation as always is the load on the CPU from processing every piece,

Hi, I take all data from Linux for i219 for the registers etc. Crazy work, 16 hours a day. Now the driver i219.sys for XP SP3 is nearly ready Dietmar

That's not `old.reddit.com` in the address bar. 🤔 I have the user script Reddit Old Redirect and the pages load quite fast here (but somehow I have not so many requests): (max download speed here ~10MB/s 🙁)

Probably a stupid question but if someone can answer. Does the 64-bit version of Mypal work normally or are there specific bugs compared to the 32-bit version ? Regards

Wow! That was even more OT, random, and out-of-nowhere than even a lot of my posts!

@isolar I looked into it, up to a certain extent for now. About 1: My initial idea was you can make print-screens to compare register 8086:0F04 without and with HDA.SYS from @Drew Hoffman but today I searched for the appropriate PCI-registers and couldn't find them. It seems your system has a SoC (System on Chip), not a 'classic' design. In some 4274 pages long Intel Datasheet I found things are different, seems have to do with separate PCI Configuration Registers (probably XT_SNP). So I expect no results. I had some conversations with Copilot during traffic, and it seems it is even possible to damage your hardware in this case. 'While less common, repeatedly writing unsupported values to hardware registers could stress the hardware or violate electrical timing constraints, leading to permanent damage in extreme circumstances.' Normally I use a disclaimer like 'writing to PCI registers is at your own risk, if any' but for now I strongly suggest NOT to write to your PCI registers and NOT try to use pcipatchB (unless you are knowing what you are doing). About 2: I Googled ALC280, so far GPIO not found mentioned in Linux sources! About 3: '$00C3B000 - Unmute Audio Mixer': this is a verb ment for OUTPUT's (3B000).

If wanted, better test with GET verbs too: $00CF0100;AC_VERB_GET_CONNECT_SEL;Channel0 $00C70100;AC_VERB_SET_CONNECT_SEL;Channel0 $00CF0100;AC_VERB_GET_CONNECT_SEL;Channel0 $00CF0101;AC_VERB_GET_CONNECT_SEL;Channel1 $00C70101;AC_VERB_SET_CONNECT_SEL;Channel1 $00CF0101;AC_VERB_GET_CONNECT_SEL;Channel1 Note for interested readers: a GET-VERB returns a meaningful payload, can be read-out in HDAICIN.TXT. SleepingWidget: I would set 'SleepingWidget=$02' in HDACFG.INI. Volume: If Volume is set to '00' I am afraid it's minimal volume. Please correct me if I am wrong! Better try a moderate value like '3F'. Next example Verbs are without Node/ Widget address: B8000;AC_VERB_GET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;status_ch0_R BA000;AC_VERB_GET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;status_ch0_L 3B000;AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;unmute_ch0_L+R B8000;AC_VERB_GET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;status_ch0_R BA000;AC_VERB_GET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;status_ch0_L 3B03F;AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;set_volume_ch0_L+R B8000;AC_VERB_GET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;status_ch0_R BA000;AC_VERB_GET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE;status_ch0_L Power Verbs: I do not understand what you said about your Power States, please explain in (much) more detail. Further: Looks all good to me. Do not forget I have at home only about four different (desktop) High Definition Audio Controllers/ Codecs, all working with my quasi-universal HDAICOUT.HDA and only one HDA controller needed pcipatchB (or set already by Watler's HDA2.DLL, like on my SB710 chipset). I have one laptop from work, but I can not even open a command-line. Booting from USB is out of the question. So I can not run any tests on machines like yours....

What you mean with penguins!!!!? Tux from the Linux operating system?

Something happened to Reddit literally just now. Loading has become slow on an old PC, it fetches about 800 requests and 30 MB to display 100 subscriptions. This is not a problem specifically with New Moon, as Opera 12 is also affected, but I have no other place to discuss old PC and old browser behavior. Seems like they have modernized "Old" reddit. https://i.imgur.com/9xL6uJh.png

I know, that's why I bought it. But... It did not come with the motherboard on this cheap budget-market eMachine. It was just the *BEST* replacement CPU that I could throw at it to get some life out of it when a piece-of-junk freebie was given to me. I got several years out of it, only for the cost of a CPU that would have been at least a decade old and was pennies to the dollar of what it cost in 2007.

On second thought, and not interested in digging up reviews and whatnot, but I should probably put Acer as "more junky" then eMachine. Both are "budget markets" and both were so JUNKY that the owners that bought them HATED them so much that they GAVE THEM AWAY FOR FREE. One of the Acer's I did buy (WORST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE), the other was given to me, this eMachine was also given to me.

Yes, SAME HERE, *flawless, butter, blah-blah*. But no, NOT if I'm doing nine things at once and one of those nine is 1080p. Not a Dell. Two Acer's went to Goodwill. This one is an "eMachine" (far FAR worse than Dell and far FAR worse than Acer).

Yes, I do! Q6700 was Hi-end, top of the line in 2007, q9300 was a severely reduced, budget version. Q6700 is 19yo btw,

Struggles a bit, probably varies depending on the video bitrate, probably when the Adblocker kicks in. But I'm logged into MSFN from this old PC, adds load, too.

No, I didn't. Can and flawless. Feel the difference? Butter smooth! On the other hand, your mobo is a cheaply made Dell (?sorry, missed). could be failing along with the PSU.
