If not, make sure the account your using. is setup as a Admin account. or something close to it. make sure it doesnt have like parental controls on it.

Well, my other PC's internet is disconnected now, because my ISP had to transfer it, but I will go in and see about the admin account. I'm going to run the FFXI benchmark program on the Dell, if I get good results then I am just going to call the store from where I bought it from and see what they can do. Thanks though.

It works now. The place I brought it from brought me a new tower, and the internet is fine now.

It's a Dell Dimension 2400. I don't know the full specs, but it has a 40GB hard drive, 256 MB RAM (dont know which kind), a 2.4 ghz processor.
I don't know if I am going to keep it yet. The place I got it from is like a rental place, you rent it until you own, so I can bring it back any time. The stuff you get though is brand new, not used or anything. I am going to try it out for a while, see if I like it. If not I'll go with a Custom PC.

Ah, ****!
The Dell Dimension 2400 doesn't have AGP slots. But the guy at the store told me it did. @(*&#*
Looks like I'll be returning this afterall.

Well to be honest, I didn't look inside, but I was just at a website that gave the Dimension 2400 a review, and they said:
-----------------
Cheaper budget PCs can be had elsewhere, but Dell’s Dimension 2400 offers a solid feature set and a strong warranty, though its performance is merely adequate.
The good: Wide-ranging support and upgrade options; smooth DVD playback and sound; great multimedia keyboard.
The bad: No AGP slot for dedicated graphics card.
By Asa Somers, July 8, 2003
Dell has updated its budget PC line with the arrival of the Dimension 2400. Slightly faster Pentium 4 processors and a slightly improved Intel chipset mean--you guessed it--slightly improved performance over that of its predecessor, the Dimension 2350. Our 2400 test system had a 2.4GHz Pentium processor, 333MHz of DDR memory, dual optical drives, and a 17-inch CRT--features that straddle the line between budget and midrange. Of course, at $968, the price of our test system is on that same border, though you can scale back by opting for a Celeron processor and a single optical drive, for example. With integrated graphics and no AGP slot for upgrading, you shouldn’t nurture any dreams of turning the 2400 into a multimedia powerhouse. The system offers acceptable application performance, however, for price-wary consumers, such as students, small-business owners, and home-office dwellers.

It will be cheaper for me to build a PC anyway. Well, someone else will be doing it for me, but overall it will be much cheaper.

Re: Re: Re: What a night...

Just build your own. its more fun anyway and you know exactly what each part can do cuz you have instuction booklets on everything you buy for it.
