I don't need to borrow her computer exactly unless you mean just use it -
all I have to do is go upstairs.  (I'm still in high school.)  Her computer
has an AMD Athlon XP 1800+  (It used to be in my computer before I got the
2400+ - she originally had an Athlon 1GHz which was fast at the time but
only shortly after that, the Athlon XP came out.)  512MB of RAM, 120GB HD
space, and an Ati Radeon 7200 32MB card.  Will any DVD work for the proper
media?  I don't know much about burning DVDs since I have a regular CD-RW
drive.  I'm used to CD-R or CD-RW Music or Data and that's it.  I'm not used
to DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD RAM, and so on.  Our Internet anymore
averages out around 500 to 600 k / sec when downloading.  I remember the old
days when we got around 230 k / sec.

It should work at least decent on my computer now:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ @ 2.14GHz
WD 80GB 7200RPM 2MB Cache HD
WD 120GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache HD
NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti200 128MB DDR Video Card
768MB of RAM
Creative Audigy 5.1 Sound Card (I hope this will cooperate in Vista)
Linksys 10/100 network card
400w PSU
5 case fans
3 1/2" floppy drive
Lite On 16x DVD drive
Memorex (Lite On) 52x32x52 CD RW drive
Logitech Z-680 speakers
Proview 19" CRT monitor currently @ 1360x1088
Logitech Elite Keyboard
Logitech MX510 Mouse
Canon i560 Printer
Canon PowerShot A520 digital camera
Rio S35S MP3 Player
Logitech Wingman controller
Visioneer 5800 scanner (Knowing Visioneer, it won't and never will work in
Vista.)

Keep in mind that back then for the entire system and to build my computer
including buying Windows XP, it cost me around $2000 total.

I plan on adding a gig of RAM in June to give me 1.75GB.  (Do you think that
I should get more than this?)  I'm considering getting a better video card
before the public Vista beta comes out but if I don't get it then, I'll get
one at the same time as I get the gig of RAM.

I'm considering getting a better video card before the public Vista beta
comes out but if I don't get it then, I'll get
one at the same time as I get the gig of RAM.

I am running Vista with a 128MB AGP and I have a lot of windows open and its
starting to give low video memory errors. So if you want Glass, you gotta
pay the price and I'm sure you will want Glass. :)

I was already planning on getting a 256MB Video Card.  I was thinking about
getting an FX5500.  I don't do lots of gaming besides Quake III which runs
well on my NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti200 at maximum settings at a 1600x1200 screen
resolution.  (The maximum my monitor will support.)  Then, I was looking at
the NVIDIA 6200's, but most of them on newegg don't have fans on them unless
you go up to the $100 level.  Also, what's better - 64-bit memory or 128-bit
memory?  I'd gather 128 is.  Most of the cheaper 6200's I saw were 64-bit
memory while the FX5500 was 128.  I remember that my GeForce3 when I bought
it was around $130 and was only one of the few video cards with 128MB of
memory.  I don't intend on using a 1600x1200 screen resolution (very often
anyway) at the OS level, but I might in Quake III.

Definitely 128, the larger memory bit-bandwidth will help in Vista.

However, in my opinion, hold off your GPU purchase until Vista ships. By
then GeForce 10900 (X900) will be released and 5500 will be dropped in
price. Actually for that resolution you should go for 6600 or 6800, 7800
if you can when the prices fall again by then. The 5500 looks a little
shaky at Aero Glass.

Back to your original question... use WinZip, and split them to 650/700
MB pieces...

Regards

				&gt; My burner uses DVD + R, if you have a burner that burns multiple formats,<br />
&gt; still go with DVD + R, I have read some issues concerning bad burns with<br />
&gt; DVD - R<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;I am planning on downloading the Vista beta next month when (and if) it<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;becomes public.  We have high-speed Internet, but I was wondering if I<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;don't have a DVD burner, what should I do?  Mother's computer has one,<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;but mine just has a DVD drive and a regular CD-RW drive.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />

		</div> </div> </div>&gt;&gt; I don't need to borrow her computer exactly unless you mean just use it -<br />
&gt;&gt; all I have to do is go upstairs.  (I'm still in high school.)  Her<br />
&gt;&gt; computer has an AMD Athlon XP 1800+  (It used to be in my computer before<br />
&gt;&gt; I got the 2400+ - she originally had an Athlon 1GHz which was fast at the<br />
&gt;&gt; time but only shortly after that, the Athlon XP came out.)  512MB of RAM,<br />
&gt;&gt; 120GB HD space, and an Ati Radeon 7200 32MB card.  Will any DVD work for<br />
&gt;&gt; the proper media?  I don't know much about burning DVDs since I have a<br />
&gt;&gt; regular CD-RW drive.  I'm used to CD-R or CD-RW Music or Data and that's<br />
&gt;&gt; it.  I'm not used to DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD RAM, and so on.<br />
&gt;&gt; Our Internet anymore averages out around 500 to 600 k / sec when<br />
&gt;&gt; downloading.  I remember the old days when we got around 230 k / sec.<br />

				&gt; Well, you have a fair amount of RAM already that good enough for Vista, so<br />
&gt; the money you would have spent on extra memory, invest in a good video<br />
&gt; card. But things to remember when purchasing a graphics card for Vista,<br />
&gt; make sure it has a supported WDDM driver (Windows Display Driver Model),<br />
&gt; and I personally recommend a minimum of 256MBs, the more the better.
			
		</div> </div> </div>I am running Vista with a 128MB AGP and I have a lot of windows open and its<br />
starting to give low video memory errors. So if you want Glass, you gotta<br />
pay the price and I'm sure you will want Glass. :)<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; My burner uses DVD + R, if you have a burner that burns multiple<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;I am planning on downloading the Vista beta next month when (and if)<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;it becomes public.  We have high-speed Internet, but I was wondering<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;if I don't have a DVD burner, what should I do?  Mother's computer<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;has one, but mine just has a DVD drive and a regular CD-RW drive.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I don't need to borrow her computer exactly unless you mean just use<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; it - all I have to do is go upstairs.  (I'm still in high school.)<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Her computer has an AMD Athlon XP 1800+  (It used to be in my computer<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; before I got the 2400+ - she originally had an Athlon 1GHz which was<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; fast at the time but only shortly after that, the Athlon XP came out.)<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 512MB of RAM, 120GB HD space, and an Ati Radeon 7200 32MB card.  Will<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; any DVD work for the proper media?  I don't know much about burning<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; DVDs since I have a regular CD-RW drive.  I'm used to CD-R or CD-RW<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Music or Data and that's it.  I'm not used to DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R,<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; DVD+R, DVD RAM, and so on. Our Internet anymore averages out around<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 500 to 600 k / sec when downloading.  I remember the old days when we<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; got around 230 k / sec.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; Thanks Andre.  You're doing this newsgroup a lot of good.  Keep up the<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; good work.  We have DVD + Rs already for the burner, so we should be in<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; good shape.<br />

&gt;<div class="bbcode_container"> <div class="bbcode_quote"> <div class="quote_container"> <div class="bbcode_quote_container"></div>
			
				&gt;&gt; Seems like an optimum amount, if you can afford more why not go for it.
			
		</div> </div> </div>&gt;<br />

				&gt;&gt; Well, you have a fair amount of RAM already that good enough for Vista,<br />
&gt;&gt; so the money you would have spent on extra memory, invest in a good video<br />
&gt;&gt; card. But things to remember when purchasing a graphics card for Vista,<br />
&gt;&gt; make sure it has a supported WDDM driver (Windows Display Driver Model),<br />
&gt;&gt; and I personally recommend a minimum of 256MBs, the more the better.
			
		</div> </div> </div>&gt;<br />
&gt; I am running Vista with a 128MB AGP and I have a lot of windows open and<br />
&gt; its starting to give low video memory errors. So if you want Glass, you<br />
&gt; gotta pay the price and I'm sure you will want Glass. :)<br />

		</div> </div> </div>I was already planning on getting a 256MB Video Card.  I was thinking about<br />
getting an FX5500.  I don't do lots of gaming besides Quake III which runs<br />
well on my NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti200 at maximum settings at a 1600x1200 screen<br />
resolution.  (The maximum my monitor will support.)  Then, I was looking at<br />
the NVIDIA 6200's, but most of them on newegg don't have fans on them unless<br />
you go up to the $100 level.  Also, what's better - 64-bit memory or 128-bit<br />
memory?  I'd gather 128 is.  Most of the cheaper 6200's I saw were 64-bit<br />
memory while the FX5500 was 128.  I remember that my GeForce3 when I bought<br />
it was around $130 and was only one of the few video cards with 128MB of<br />
memory.  I don't intend on using a 1600x1200 screen resolution (very often<br />
anyway) at the OS level, but I might in Quake III.<br /> <br /> <br /> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </blockquote> </div> </div> <div class="vbseo_buttons" id="lkbtn_1.107824.370678"> <div class="vbseo_liked" style="display:none"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="userinfo_noavatar"> <div class="contact"> <div class="username_container"> <span class="username guest"><!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->Travis King<!-- google_ad_section_end --></span> <span class="usertitle">

Definitely 128, the larger memory bit-bandwidth will help in Vista.<br /> <br />
However, in my opinion, hold off your GPU purchase until Vista ships. By<br />
then GeForce 10900 (X900) will be released and 5500 will be dropped in<br />
price. Actually for that resolution you should go for 6600 or 6800, 7800<br />
if you can when the prices fall again by then. The 5500 looks a little<br />
shaky at Aero Glass.<br /> <br />
Back to your original question... use WinZip, and split them to 650/700<br />
MB pieces...<br /> <br />

&gt;&gt; I plan on adding a gig of RAM in June to give me 1.75GB.  (Do you<br />
&gt;&gt; think that<br />
&gt;&gt; I should get more than this?)<br />
&gt;&gt;<div class="bbcode_container"> <div class="bbcode_quote"> <div class="quote_container"> <div class="bbcode_quote_container"></div>
			
				&gt;&gt;&gt; Seems like an optimum amount, if you can afford more why not go for<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; it.
			
		</div> </div> </div>&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt; I'm considering getting a better video card before the public Vista<br />
&gt;&gt; beta comes out but if I don't get it then, I'll get<br />
&gt;&gt; one at the same time as I get the gig of RAM.<br />
&gt;&gt;<div class="bbcode_container"> <div class="bbcode_quote"> <div class="quote_container"> <div class="bbcode_quote_container"></div>
			
				&gt;&gt;&gt; Well, you have a fair amount of RAM already that good enough for<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; Vista, so the money you would have spent on extra memory, invest in<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; a good video card. But things to remember when purchasing a graphics<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; card for Vista, make sure it has a supported WDDM driver (Windows<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; Display Driver Model), and I personally recommend a minimum of<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; 256MBs, the more the better.
			
		</div> </div> </div>&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt; I am running Vista with a 128MB AGP and I have a lot of windows open<br />
&gt;&gt; and its starting to give low video memory errors. So if you want<br />
&gt;&gt; Glass, you gotta pay the price and I'm sure you will want Glass. :)<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Well you are on the right path then, report back how everthing<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; turns out, I'm very interested in hearing your results. Thanks for<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; your support, I just enjoy sharing what I have learnt so far from<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; using Vista and I know many others such as Zack, Josh, Peter and<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; many more feel the same way I do. :)<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; My burner uses DVD + R, if you have a burner that burns multiple<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; formats, still go with DVD + R, I have read some issues<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; concerning bad burns with DVD - R<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;I am planning on downloading the Vista beta next month when<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;(and if) it becomes public.  We have high-speed Internet, but I<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;was wondering if I don't have a DVD burner, what should I do?<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Mother's computer has one, but mine just has a DVD drive and a<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;regular CD-RW drive.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I don't need to borrow her computer exactly unless you mean just<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; use it - all I have to do is go upstairs.  (I'm still in high<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; school.) Her computer has an AMD Athlon XP 1800+  (It used to be<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; in my computer before I got the 2400+ - she originally had an<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Athlon 1GHz which was fast at the time but only shortly after<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; that, the Athlon XP came out.) 512MB of RAM, 120GB HD space, and<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; an Ati Radeon 7200 32MB card.  Will any DVD work for the proper<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; media?  I don't know much about burning DVDs since I have a<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; regular CD-RW drive.  I'm used to CD-R or CD-RW Music or Data<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; and that's it.  I'm not used to DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R,<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; DVD RAM, and so on. Our Internet anymore averages out around 500<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; to 600 k / sec when downloading.  I remember the old days when<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; we got around 230 k / sec.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Thanks Andre.  You're doing this newsgroup a lot of good.  Keep up<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the good work.  We have DVD + Rs already for the burner, so we<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; should be in good shape.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt; It should work at least decent on my computer now:<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt; Visioneer 5800 scanner (Knowing Visioneer, it won't and never will<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; work in Vista.)<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; Keep in mind that back then for the entire system and to build my<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; computer including buying Windows XP, it cost me around $2000 total.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; I plan on adding a gig of RAM in June to give me 1.75GB.  (Do you<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; think that I should get more than this?)  I'm considering getting a<br />

		</div> </div> </div>&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;
			
		</div> </div> </div>&gt; I was already planning on getting a 256MB Video Card.  I was thinking<br />
&gt; about getting an FX5500.  I don't do lots of gaming besides Quake III<br />
&gt; which runs well on my NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti200 at maximum settings at a<br />
&gt; 1600x1200 screen resolution.  (The maximum my monitor will support.)<br />
&gt; Then, I was looking at the NVIDIA 6200's, but most of them on newegg<br />
&gt; don't have fans on them unless you go up to the $100 level.  Also,<br />
&gt; what's better - 64-bit memory or 128-bit memory?  I'd gather 128 is.<br />
&gt; Most of the cheaper 6200's I saw were 64-bit memory while the FX5500<br />
&gt; was 128.  I remember that my GeForce3 when I bought it was around $130<br />
&gt; and was only one of the few video cards with 128MB of memory.  I don't<br />
&gt; intend on using a 1600x1200 screen resolution (very often anyway) at<br />
&gt; the OS level, but I might in Quake III.<br />
