I Through ethernet configuration, i put higher the Receiver and Transmit Buffers . I notice and faster response on my browser. My laptop allow me to put the 2048 as the max for the Transmit Buffers ,(who must be double than the receiver).
What is the max level on a newer pc ? Its a matter of hardware ? Is higher level offer even better responsiveness on the browser ?
 
Solution
the buffers are just sorting areas of ram for the CPU
On my "modern PC"
Receiver Buffers - 256
Transmit Buffers - 512

increasing them means less work for CPU but more work for ram.

New PC have enough spare cores that buffering things like that for too long doesn't make sense.
You only need to increase them if you have heavy network traffic.
