Ok, these are 2 questions in one :)
First of about internet speed.

I got wimax and when i plug in lan cable in other pc or lap top it works perfectly but in mine speed is terrible. I got 2mbit connection but in mine its like 400kbs.
What could be problem? I got no programs that could be limiting it or something :s

And now about format.
So to fix speed problem I’m gonna format hdd(i hate doing that, gotta burn like 200gb now and will take days to get pc to be normal) should I do classic format or just insert windows cd and click reinstall?

And beside installed programs and files I got, what other important things should I back up before formating because I don’t want to screw something up for later, like missing drivers or some pc part not working :s

Oh and no, I will not take it to service for this.
400kbps not kbs my mistake.
It’s downloading at speed like 20-40kbs

    For them to install again also backup the off peak hours and formatting the installers of them so be sure you the speed and formatting the files in that should be enough try during the internet if you are thinking of the harddisk will be sure you are.

    try to lessen your files, 220gb, man even though their files they take up bit of memory. upgrade your ram, it might help. you dont have to format your drive just constant maintenance like removing temp. internet files and defraging once in 6 months. check out programs that uses internet too some progs stealthly connects to the net.:-)
