Is this computer alright for a student?

I have a dell dimension 4700. Its has 512 mb of Ram and 80 gb of hd. It's a pretty fast computer but its getting old. It's also a windows xp media center edition 2005 but it's my mom's. I want my own pc but don't want a expensive 1. I'm only going to use it for watching and burning music and videos. Pus surf the web with a wireless router.

Here is the link of the computer for the new computer http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d...

Any opinion is helpful.


Also if anyone could tell me if I need a wireless card or I just hook it up to a phone line with a router.


If the computer I'm using now is connected to Internet using a ethernet cord directly to the phone line. Can I like plug the router in to the new computer then another phone line. P.S. I use speedstream 100 mbps not dialup.

Have an old pentium (2 or 3?) with 256 meg RAM and Windows XP home edition. I want to use this computer for experimentation of installing Linux OS on it. 2 partitions that exists, the largest is used for Windowz (! obviously). I want the floppy to contain the partitioning program as well. My plan is to format my C: drive (? not sure if Linux recognizes my peripherals and has drivers for them?). Am I on the right path? I am depending on finding the required drivers on the net while installing Linux. Have highspeed internet.

I ordered my Compontnets, and they came earlier today, and have nearly finished building my pc.

Though i have one problem.

This is what it says in my motherboard manual:

1.6.1 ATX power connectors:

ATXPWR1 : ATX 24-pin - DONE that bit

ATX12V 8pin Power connector

This one supplies power to the CPU. The system will not start without connecting power to this one.

Thats the one im stuck on, its an 8-pin (2rows 4across)

And it gives the impression i need to plug a power supply cable to this socket, but i appear not to have any 8pin leads off my PSU.

Im using a Coolermaster eXtreme 500w PSU and an Abit AN52 mobo. (AMD)

Do i need an 8pin connector or could i use two 4pins possibly.?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but im abit of a nub at this stuff so any help is apprechiated.

Hi.
I recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition.
I have found site to download drivers specific for my computer, however there seems to be a problem with my sound.
The tune that plays when you log on plays fine, but that is the only sound my computer plays. I have checked all the volume and speaker settings, reinstalled the drivers and nothing works!
CD's, MP3's, songs on MySpace and other sites such as YouTube don't function correctly.
So please, is there any way I can get my sound back??
I am a person who can't live without his YouTube and music!!
Thanks.
Alex.

My computer which was built for my by a friend who has since moved out of the area so he can't help me. My computer has been randomly shutting down. I have done everything I can think of. I reinstalled Windows at least 5 different times, ran scans on my computer... reinstalled all the drivers, but i still can't get it to work smoothly. I need to know if there is anything else i can do, or some kinda of diagnostic scan to run that I haven't found, or if i should look into gutting and installing a new hard drive. PLEASE HELP!!!! thanks :)

Files on my computer seem to mysteriously disappear from my PC, and I can't rule out the possibility that something is deleting them.

I have an HP desktop computer with Windows XP and it seems to be shutting down randomly without any indication nor warning. It has a 2.5 Ghz processor and 512 MB RAM memory. Could this be due to an accumulation of dust within the case or what could be some problems? I dont download much of anything so I doubt its a virus or trojan.
Thanks!

I moved. And when I plugged my speakers back in my computer, they didn't work. I don't even get a ding when I change volume controls. I think it may be a problem with my computer, as I tried a different pair of speakers, and they don't work either. I have checked my volume control panel, and nothing is muted. yes, it is plugged into the back. windows has determined that my drivers are up to date. i just got this hp computer in february, and i have windows vista. i use my commputer mostly to listen to music. please help.

Hi, im going to buy a new desktop and i have built a PC from HP and Dell. the HP was incredibly cheaper than the Dell with both machines having the same things in them.

I have a Dell XPS laptop and i love the support they have given me.

My question is this: Does HP have the same level of support Dell has? Online? in home? Phone?

I have a three year old Compaq, that, in the last 2 days has started to act up. When I turn it on, I get the wonderful Compaq menu (The one where you have ESC, F1 for Settings, and F10 for a system restore), well, it will go from that screen, which is normal for booting up, to a blank black screen with a flashing curser, like in old DOS. Then, it stops. My only option is to turn off the computer, which I can do by hitting ctrl, alt, del, and will restart the comp. After a few reboots, it eventually starts up, and computer is ready to use.
My question, what the heck is going on and how can I stop this! It just started and is quite annoying. Took me half an hour today just to get my comp to come on and stay on.
