Hey all, im back here with the same site. But I have a question about what you all think about the color im thinking about adding to my main tables.

Ok: http://www.ultrapcgamers.net/reviews/

The red and blue are what im thinking of using in most main pages. What do you think? (Obviously its not done yet lol)

Red and blue? Where? Do you mean that faint shade on the "heading rows?" Looks good. But I don't remember what you had earlier so I can't really say if it's better.
Your page took 1½ minute to load "AND I AM ON ADSL"!!!!:p

red, blue where? its a nice layout, but you need to make it a bit bigger. On 1024x768, it only takes up a 1/4 of the page.

Thanks for replying all. Red and blue yes. If you click on starcraft you'll see the design im trying to use with the reveiws. The width is something I cannot help. Yes, I know, maybe YOU have a larger monitor, but most don't. Most have a 15" monitor, which is what I have. The width is 760, or 99% of the page on 800x600 resolution. If I use percentage to specify the width, it just looks stupid when enlarged. Thanks for your comments though.

BTW, the ads are required. If I remove the adds, I will have to pay for my webspace provider. Which is not a pretty price. Ads are required to survive no adays ;)

Your using the www.ultrapcgamers.net/reviews link? The whole review page is under 50kb (including graphics). The main page is 98kb(including graphics). If it's slow, it's not my fault, I cannot do anything about that. There's just times when the site is slow. Sorry........ try again.

It must be your location or your connection you guys. I've done tests and i've come to the conclusion that in different areas it's slow. Take a look at my earliest report:
