Pipelining means a lot of things. It's the reason why Intel's P4 processor architecture was destroyed by AMD.

It's also what oil companies do to move oil across Alaska

also, if you are running a windoze OS, you can set your TCP/IP MTU to 1500 in the registry.....this basically makes the incoming network Packets, larger, capable of handling more data per packet.

I have always used IE, but my grandfather recently upgraded to Firefox. I am currently using his computer and have noticed that in certain threads on i-Club, pictures won't load, and there isn't even a little red X. Why are the pictures not loading? Is there anything else I should know before installing Firefox on my own pc?
