My Win95 lasted 5yrs.
Then I got WinXP still have it but it is getting old, got it when XPs were new ie Dec. 2003.
So lets say ALL I care to do online is Ultima Online, maybe some music dwnlds and maybe toss a cd movie in to watch now and then, or music cds of my own to play on puter, if I want to, and that is about it for me and computers. I don't give a diddly bout facebookin or none of that junk.
Lets say I have 550.00 to 1200.00 to blow on a new system, laptop with SOUND and ability to play UO or be stuck in one place on a new desktop, WIN7 NOT vista...
Suggestions ??
Hubby gets discounts on Dell. I never owned a Dell. My two long lasting computers were Gateway gamer pcs, but only play UO or Majong online soilitare.
What should I get new, so I can take my XP into the shop if need be, and still log into UO to play it on a laptop or new desktop...wireless or what ? And since McAfee screwed over lotsa WINXP in april mine included....what pc security that ISNT McAfee ! Most puters come with mc...preinstalled I hope to REMOVE it on the new one ...and use something way better etc. than folks that give ya a dwld update that about destroys your puter. *cough*
4GB enough ?? Sound matters to me, gotta have my hard rock even if not online in some game, my cds oft sound louder better spinning em on puter. I need SOUND oh yeh and ability to SEE UO properly via some kinda connection above my ummmmmmmm DIALUP on this XP.
ATM I only seem to breeze thru stratics using husbands Dell laptop wireless some Inpirion thingie...be nice if it was win 7 and could have sound and play UO but his laptop, isnt built for that.
I bought pc magazine this morning...it only confused me more. lol
SOOOOOOOOOo what should I get ?? Keep in mind even though I have only owned Gateway pcs, hubby gets nice discounts on Dells.
Or some other suggestions ?? I dont need Alienware I dont pvp lol or I would only pvp on some uber 733T fast system if I did pvp.
Wireless ? DSL ? help an old lady out will yall ?
