JamesGaskin found a strange thing: two computers with almost the same configuration, one installed on Ubuntu and the other Windows XP, connected to the same time warner broadband cable, but the download speed is very different. Note: This is not a strict test. His Ubuntu computer has been tested multiple times on Bandwidth.com, with an average download speed of 22-25 Mbps. The same test is executed on XP, but the download speed is only 12-14mbps. two computers use the 2 GHz Pentium4 James Gaskin and find a strange thing: two computers with almost identical configurations, one with Ubuntu and the other with Windows XP, the download speed varies greatly when the same time warner broadband cable is connected. Note: This is not a strict test.
His Ubuntu computer has been tested multiple times on Bandwidth.com, with an average download speed of 22-25 Mbps. The same test is executed on XP, but the download speed is only 12-14mbps. the two computers use a 2 GHz Pentium 4 processor. The main difference is that the Ubuntu machine memory is 768 MB, and the XP machine memory is only 512 MB, both of which use the Firefox 3 browser. Gaskin curious: is the excess memory causing such a big download difference? Or is the Ubuntu processing network faster than XP?
