I have another computer thats only a 366mhz, 64mb, 4mb AGP video (2x)... And that surfs the web easily, views video, flash, etc. Not got a DVD drive so can't test that. Lags a bit though.

My laptop is a 1gz PIII, 256mb ram, 16mb video, and that lags on DVD, lol. Must be something wrong with the video adapter. It's a Toshiba Satellite 1800, and lots of people have had probs with it... Lol.

Lol yea... ATS/BTS is better than watching any DVD or playing any game anyway

if only i could update this laptops video card

TV Tuner cards don't work well on Windows 2000 Professional? Hmm... Must be the driver problems. Not a lot of device making companies provided drivers for Windows 2000 Pro. They do now though, if you found a 'working' driver for it that is made for Windows XP. You could use that. As about 85% of drivers that are made for Win2000 work on XP, and vice versa (Same OS underneath - NT)

Sounds like you have found a lot of products that could help you, proves how little I know about this stuff, lol.

I hope things work out for you.
If you purchase that device from ebay, tell us how it went. I have never bought stuff off ebay before.

I'm trying to finally have some fun by watching a DVD. I stick in a DVD. I run Zoom Player 3.20. It says Media Mode. With a DVD in the drive, I click on the screen and it says no media is loaded.

I have WinDVD 3.1. I have an ugly Comaq Presario, with a Compaq DVD GD-2000 drive. I have sound on the motherboard (which WinDVD warns me about; playback may be slow in software DVD mode). My WinDVD playback freezes every 4 seconds and then resumes.
What may be the problem here?

compaq presario 1500 here.....maybe i can help, but i think you need to go a little more informative

p4 right now, 2.2ghz, 512 ram, 32mb vga, 512 l2 cache, 2 usb ports, JBL speakers, 15.1 inch screen xvga...
dvd/cd/cdrw, floppy, modem/ethernet built into motherboard.

as for my server

2ghz, 1ghz each processor, 1024 cache, 1024mb ram, 128mb vga, custom-built air coolant system, tv card(never use TV), linked to a u.p.s system 24hr safe-switch, 120gb and 40gb IDE futjitsu, 63gb scsi drive, and a 10/100/1000mb ethernet card, 54mbps 802.11g/b/a accesspoint, distributing 56k internet connection to laptop via 802.11b
(we dont get adsl in the ukraine)

i usually get LAN jams linked to my server though....and am currently saving up to buy two 3ghz proessors for my motherboard and a new 900w power supply(possibly gana go for xeon twins)

btw...i payed $5000 for the server's kit upgrades back in 2002, is this close to ATS'es xeon box??
just curious
Cyrus

im starten to save up for a 64bit

and for the next gen video cards what games u play?

i play, unreal tournament 2003, desertcombat mainly

Cyrus- If have any suggestions i'd be happy to hear them. The DVD drive never worked since I got it, well over a year.

Compaq Presario 5315KS
1.3 ghz AMD
512mb SDRAM
80 gb hd
12x CD-RW
10/100 Ethernet
onboard Sound and Video (not using video)
Geforce4 Ti 4200 (128mb)

It's a great system in terms of numbers but the DVD drive just doesn't plain work. I can get more specific terms of my CD drive manufacters and the like if you want. I swapped in another DVD drive and that didn't work either. I really think its an unfixable conflict with my oboard video and sound.
