    Doesn't seem to be there on Win2k. Guess this is only Vista and XP?

    I think this only apples to QoS. That is the default number that most networks use.

    Shocking... QoS does what QoS is supposed to do.

    In other news, BILL GATES IS USING YOUR GPU! THAT'S RIGHT, THE WINDOWS LOGO THAT COMES UP DURING BOOT IS RENDERED USING *YOUR* GPU What exactly does he want with that, I wonder???

    No conspiracy here, just a moron who doesn't know what QoS is, and thinks he's haxx0ring teh system.

    "Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various technologies, including Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Ethernet and 802.1 networks, SONET, and IP-routed networks that may use any or all of these underlying technologies. The primary goal of QoS is to provide priority including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real-time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics. Also important is making sure that providing priority for one or more flows does not make other flows fail. QoS technologies provide the elemental building blocks that will be used for future business applications in campus, WAN, and service provider networks."
