I have no hair, no money, and no life Help 911 911 911. First of all I would like to know what or who is good, but cheap internet provider? What do I go with cable? DSL? etc. etc. How the hell can I get my DVDX(Gold copy) software to work without having to spend anymore money like $50.00 for a updated copy etc? I get a server 100 error...and what is the best software for burning DVDs, MP3s, ps2, etc, and can you do anything with nintendo DS? And hey what about just burning regular CDs well I hope you can help
I was also going to ask anyone if a router is a way to go and what is the best avenue to take? hey does anyone know where someone could get a dish or anything for a low low price and how the heck do you get all the channels for nothing or close to it?
unless you want to connect multiple computers to your internet connection, you don't need a router. try leaving dvdxcopy behind, and start using much better (and FREE) appz like DVDShrink.
ty I have dvd shrink downloaded so that would be the best route to go? Is there anyway I could possibly get things downloaded faster? I have netzero dialup highspeed. Are the accelerators or boosters worthwhile. I hate to spend the 70 bucks a month for dsl or cable. Or is it really worth it? All I really want to do is record and download dvds and cds but as cheap as possible.
I've had much success with DVDShrink, so thats what I recommend. Never had any problems copying movies. If you need help how to use it, there is a step-by-step guide under the "guides" tab. My DSL is only $50 a month, and I actually just got bumped up to 1MB per second for free, cause I've had DSL for five years now. I guess it really depends on how much you want to download. If you want to DL a lot of movies and music, you're not going to get anywhere soon with dialup. Even with the accellerator, its not sufficient to download a large quantity of data. Cable or DSL is really the way to go.
ty again. Now the next question is what is the best deal out there on the market today? again I live in Minnesota. What would you recommend for service? Actually let me ask you this way. To get a kick ass system for the least amount of money what would I have to get? Bare minimums?
The decision between DSL and Cable really depends on where you live and who the service providers are. I have no clue about Minnesota, so I'd recommend doing a google search about "broadband minnesota" or something like that, and you should be able to find info about stuff in your area. Me personally, I use SBC DSL, and it is fantastic. For cable here we have Time Warner/AOL, which are greedy bastards, so I like DSL better. As far as a kick ass system, this is what I would recommend. I just built myself a brand new server last week, for UNDER $1300, including OS and Monitor. This system is lightning fast, and you wouldn't need to upgrade any components for a while. Maybe in a year or two go up to 2GB ram, and a faster processor. But for $1300, its a really good deal. specs: from unitedmicro.com: ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard 3.0G Pentium 4 Prescott from tigerdirect.com: 1GB (512MB X 2) Dual Channel DDR400 Ram 200GB WD 7200 RPM 8MB HD Chaintek GeForce 5700 256MB DDR AGP DVI Graphics Card Microsoft wireless kb/mouse combo 17" Nec Monitor Black Case w/ 500 watt powersupply WinXP Pro full SP2

stacie, edit out your email address if you don't want to be spammed & possible forum rules violation. what motherboard & cpu do you have?? also what windows. video card is on the low end but depends on what you use computer for & i think there is a newer driver update for your sound card & same for printer
What would be a good video card to get? also my desktop board is an intel desktop board D845GRG &GBV. My mainboard is a CHAINTECH-EXCEL MODEL # 6AJA4T. DIMMs based 512mb tech. up to 2GB hasnt been validated on board yet 200/266 SDRAM DIMM w/gold plated contacts non ECC and ECC DIMS etc.
