  so, this is good then?

  

  Actually, no :)
  Seems like the test fail to analyze it's own data since you had very good score on lite, pretty poor on medium and then it failed on heavy so it never completed ultra. But for Lite apps, you're fine :)
  
  I scored "awesome", passed all tests. Except the WGT meter.

  I see that lied above, I actually never passed the "Ultra test". Interesting, in ways, is that Chrome, with Pepperflash, seem to be very good. It scored less than Opera and Firefox, but that seem to be because it apparently caps the fps at 60. It performs much better than the others on "heavy" and "ultra"
  
  Opera (awesome)
  Lite 73
  Medium 66
  Heavy 29
  Ultra 15
  
  Chrome (great)
  Lite 60
  Medium 60
  Heavy 40
  Ultra 19
  
  Firefox (awesome)
  Lite 72
  Medium 67
  Heavy 29
  Ultra 14

  In WGT, for me, the meter is smoothest by far with Chrome. Unfortunately I can not use it since it react very poorly to my click.

  I have XP and IE and got a 16981. Flunked the ultra test but still came up just a hair short of awesome.

  I have xp pro on a 64 bit dual-core processor running 32 bit os. Systen has been tweeked and runs a low 30 processes. Google beat out both ie and firefox by a large margin.

  This is great stuff andy but a question.  Where does WGT fall into the parameter of the tests?  Are they in the medium as I would expect?  Failing the ultra test to me doesn't really mean that much unless I were to play some of the online games that are much more intense than WGT?

  Right now I play on an HP workstation that has tons of power and never have a meter glitch and the game plays incredibly smooth even with only 6 mbps download speed.  The rare occasion when I do get any sort of issue with the game it is usually a timeout or some other issue that I can attribute to my ISP.

  Using Firefox 14.01 and Macbook Pro 7 yrs old still with OSX 5.8, never upgraded I got Total of 36991, Lite 88, Medium 159, Hvy 96, Ultra 47. I'm still hitting the ball and watching the player stand still for 5-8 seconds before seeing the backswing and ball contact. Also, having the meter stop before reaching the end and hitting the ball without my fingers lifting off the mouse button.

  So according to Speedtest.net  .....the *ping* is extremely important to gaming. 100 is avg. for internet surfing and watching vids, but 50 and below is what i need to have for optimal gaming.

  I have 81 ms

  Anyone with a clue about computers know if this is why all of s sudden after 2 years, my meter sucks on any of the 3 browsers i have tried?

  Thank you.

  WGT is not a MMOG where interaction between players requires split second timing, hence the recommendation of ping<50 for 'optimal gaming'.  Since WGT does not require split second timing between players ping timing has a negligible, if any, effect on the game IMO.

  I just ran a ping test to New Jersey where the WGT servers are located, it was 90ms tonight.  It varies but I see no effect on the meter.  No big deal either way.
