I've tried to crystalize all the posts and cross posts I've read of late. I'm not too proud to admit that I don't know for sure which computer to buy that will support dvd shrink, nero and decrypter. I realize that we all learn the hard way to a certain extent but I sure would like to get my hands on a "turnkey" system. I'd like to buy a computer which after the above mentioned downloads enables me to copy dvds. Has any configuration/model been mentioned previously? I've got my eye on a Dell Dimension 8300- 512 MB DDR 400 MHZ, DVD Drive, 80 GB EIDE HD. Thanks and hope I'm not being too tedious. Richard
that computer should do you just fine,i have an old dell 8100 and i havent had any trouble,but most dells come with roxio(yuck get rid of that and get nero) just my oppinion good luck and welcome to the club jim
Hello I new to here I have been here for a month or so the only thing I really know about computers is how to break them. So if you think you can helpme with anything please do so. Dose anyone know where I can get a good cheep computer? Thanks You Jeff
Check ebay out you will get a really good system and pay alot less than going to one off the big dealers where you always pay over the top i know and have learnt from my mistakes Cheers john179
Basically go for one with a quick processor and another memory to store your backed up dvd files and run the machine at the same time. My mates backing up DVD's (albeit slowly) off a 486 and a 30gig hard drive!!
If your looking for a new PC I highly recommend ebay for a good dell system 512mb/80gig/2.6 p4/with dvd burner around $600+shipping.
Thanks to all for taking the time to make suggestions. I really appreciate them and have decided to buy a basic Dell. Richard
