To Halli,
your connection on Speedtest is good. Your result is on the high end side for a connection in general close to 7 Mb. Your upload of about 430 Kb is very good, considering that probably as a peak or "sold" rate shoudl be 512. you are very close.
To Cylawyer,
yes, a wireless connection can compromise your performance on Internet, especially playing a game. To play at the best performance is always adviced to be connected "phisically" to your router. Of course, if you can't.. just bite the bullet and enjoy what you have. On general lines the wireless can be degraded by several reasons, as distance from the router, interferences, other access points close to yours (part of interference issues) and a few others.
If you are just curious to see what's the comparison, try, if possible, a wired test and then a wireless test and you'll see.
I am a bit skeptic about this test anyway, because being called "pingtest" is rating B a ping of 34... This means probably is testing some other value, but is not clear or displayed.
I have another speedtest you may want to try, a bit more professional as response but I don t have the link here. I 'll let you know Sunday when I go home.

Halli and Zeno
Thank you very much for your replies.
Last night I came on the TS and ii saw many of you in the ArmA 2 channel but I preferred to not disturb, not knowiing exactly about your channel policiies.
For sure i will join again, listening at the channel at the beginning. I will decide in these few days what to do, either getting the gmae or not.
Zeno, i do appreciate 2 points you talked about. First "playing slow" is a style i do like. I ve never been into quick shooters (Quake and siblings) and i would like CoD MW2 was a bit more realistic to enjoy the beautiful graphic they came out wiith, but unfortunately that game is no more than an arcade.
Second, playing with a good group of friends. This is important and i do really care about it. TThiis is proobably the only reason why I am still in TAW, playing GRAW 2. I am boored to death playing GRAW 2 now. Although many "mappers" created pretty good new coop maps, it is an old game. No dynamic, dumm AI, predictable enviironment, just to say some. BUT I play with great guys, they are nice and they make enjoyable the time we spend together, supporting your point that playing with the right ppl sometimes iis way more important than playing the game itself.
So, i ll come visit you on TS soon and i can t waiit to learn something more about your group.. oh, and bytheway.. I never used the word "Clan"

Hello, Batwing here.
I found about your group online and I've been very interested. first of all the choice of name.. Spartans.. an Elite of warriors breed to the art of War. That is quite an important name to be proud of.
So, here I am.
I am 41, italian, living in FL since about 5 years now so i do belong to the EST time zone.
My passion is building PCs (job and pleasure) and playing games, among other passions I have.. otherwise my g/f kills me ;)
I've been playing military games since quite long time. Long background on all the Mechwarrior games, always played online in a military way, involviing massive tactical game and team play.
Then involved on flight sims as Falcon 4 (all the expansions "after-market") and Lock-On (till latest update).
In the last year and something I've been active member ((and i still am) of TAW on the GRAW 2 division, focused on COOP maps.
I am starting a strong interest for ArmA 2 and i want to find a group where maturity, strategy, traiining and Teamplay are not only nice words on a business card but are real and applied every day, on every meeting.
It looks to me ArmA 2 cannot be a game where players act as lone wolves, it makes no sense. I am looking for a team that really applies strategy and full teamplay.
Don't get me wrong, I still like TAW and the group I play with is made of great guys. Unfortunately there iis nothing like "structured" traiining, no team operations.. everything is left to a siingle initiative, "run 'n gun". I am tired of it and i m tired of GRAW 2 which is no more a challange for me.
I do not have ArmA2 yet, because I want to see if exist the kind of team I m looking for before I spend 50 bucks on another game. I 've been burnt a couple of times recently, buying games then were not exactly what I was looking for.
So, now I have some questions for you guys.:
What is your style?
Do you have training sessions (I will need training for this game, which sounds quite "simulative" and i want to learn from who is willing to teach) ?
Do you follow at least a basic of military organization during a mission?
How do you consider yourself when compared to other teams playing ArmA ?
Why should I choose Sparta as my next home instead another group?
I hope to hear from you soon guys,, till that moment..

Win 7 x64 compatability
in Computer Discussions

I've been usingWin 7 since about 10 months now. I was on the MS beta testing.
I ve to say I never had an issue with it. Had a BSOD once, but was not an OS issue, but wrong ATI drivers.
Performances with all the game I tested so far are better than XP (I do not even compare to Vista).
If you have a specific problem, ask me and I will see if I can help, however most of the time is a matter of most recent drivers for your devices.
This is not even always true, because the most recent ATI drivers mess up my graphic big time, so it s just a matter to experiment a little bit, but 99% everything works and if it doesnt, right click the application and use Troubleshooting, it really works most of the time.
