This AutoFix adjusts the network receive buffer size, which is the most important setting for good performance with a cable modem or DSL connection. In most cases it is the only value you should need to adjust. If your Internet performance is still dismal and you want to experiment more, you may want to try SpeedGuide.net which has several other patches and more information.
To determine your ping times or bandwidth performance, visit the PC Pitstop Internet Center.
