is it possible to play online games in a 56kbps speed?

Several online games download to your computer rather than streaming. These are not the hi end games, just the jave light weight games. If you want Haft Life or HALO II you are out of luck. That requires a 200kbs+ connection.

56K is pretty much it.   The only thing that might help, is a dial-up service that provides a built-in high-speed dial-up option.  \n\nI feel for you.

Yes, 56k Modem probably will give you download speed of 5K and  upload speed of 3-5K depending on your ISP.\n\nWhy don't you get DSL or Cable Modem through your phone or cable company?\n\nYahoo offers special through SBC or you can go through Comcast.. ask your friends what they use.\n56K Modem is old school..

u can't do much.. dial-up tops out at 53 Kb/S, there are regulations from the phone company which restrict the voltage swing, there is also the cabling characteristics, etc.

First, all adpaters must support 100Mbps. If they don't you need new ones.\n\nIn case all 4 and the hub/switch also supports 100Mbps, do the following:\n1. Double click your network connection.\n2. Click properties.\n3. Click configure to set your adapters properties.\n4. Click Advanced\n5. Change the link speed to: 100 Mbps Half Duplex.

Well .. you should use windows 2000 SP4 its will connect on 49.0 KBPS and if you are useing win XP then download new driver for USB 56 K Modem .

5.5 will be your max.\n\nThe speed depends on how far away from your exchange you live. I live a long way from mine too, I get about 2.5mb on an 8mb bandwidth.\n\nOh well.

Yes. There are quite a few, BUT they only run games at less than 50% the normal speed. You can try them in the link below.

Get broadband, period.\n\nBy the way, pay attention to units: 56kbps = 56 kiloBITS per second = 7 kiloBYTES per second (7 kBps), theoretical maximum speed of dial-up.

Everyone so far has given you "yes" or "maybe".  No, the answer is to play the game well, plain, flat out, no.  Yeah, on the lowest settings, its a definite maybe.  But, to play them well, no.  Your processor is OKAY not great but OKAY.  The problem with the Xpress 200M is that this is an integrated card and it is taking 64MB from you main memory.  I remember someone saying you had a "good" system.  It's not.  It's just okay.  But we can... fix that, sort of.  What you need is a dedicated graphics card and since you have the Xpress 200M chances are you also have a PCIe slot.  That being said, you should purchase one, a Geforce 7600GT graphics card, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130017 and then get yourself an additional 512MB module of memory (bringing the total to 1GB).  You should now be able to play all the games in that list at a resolution of at least 1024 x 768 with most effects enabled.  The limiting factor here is your processor.

A typical web page can run from 50K and up..However, speaking from real world experience it doesn't take more than a few seconds with a 2MB connection..\nHere's a link that will allow you to test your current connection and even choose different download stream sizes.\nhttp://www.networktel.net/NTCportal/Visitor/Support/Visitor_Support_SpeedTest/\n\nGreg

you can use tcp optimizer ?\n\nhttp://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

To answer twentieth century refugee's question, modems generally use kilobits.\n\nA 56k modem is (up to) 56,000 bits per second.  However, I've never actuallly seen a connection reach beyond 53k.  Now, if you divide by 8 bits and 1 stop bit (9 bits total,) this gives you up to 5,888 bytes.  However, I've never seen a download on a modem go faster than about 5.6 kB/sec.\n\nLet's try a 256k DSL modem.  Is that faster than a 256kB/sec download speed?  Well, to go from bits to bytes, we still divide by about 9, so 256*1000/9 = up to 28,444 bytes per second.  256kB/sec is only multiplied by 1000 to give us  256,000 bytes per second, which is quite a bit faster.\n\nNote that in other arenas, when converting from bytes to kilobytes, you might be dividing by 1024 instead of 1000.

you cannot run 400MHz and 533MHz in the same pc\n\nbut if you link 2 PCs together you will be able to.

any 56k modem will be fine

Modem 56kbps = 5.6 kbps download rate\nDsl  128kbps =12.8 kbps download rate\nDsl  256kbps =25.6 kbps download rate\nDsl  512kbps =51.2 kbps download rate\ndsl 1024kbps =102.4kbps download rate\n\nTheres no possible way to overdrive these info\nif the object youre trying to download is slower than any rate there the web nature, many different causes, huge traffic something else your downloading,m streamng audio or a video
