| 24449 | 2001-11-14 03:11:00 | Have a Compaq Armada E500, 450 MHtz, running Win98Se. Is broadband an option for me? | Guest (0) | ||
| 24450 | 2001-11-14 04:47:00 | Yes a good option. I have an Amada E500 - 450 MHZ (128 Ram) computer running Windows XP Professional with a Dynalink ADSL USB modem. All runs well and the speed is worth the cost of the modem (bought through 'Trademe'). I use XTRA Jetstart as my speed Demon. Have fun :-) |

With wireless access you are not tied to an ethernet cable, and can connect to the ADSL connection from whereever you want around the house ... if you're going to spend the moeny on broadband, it's nice to not be tethered to an Ethernet cable!! You would need a wireless LAN card for your laptop as well as either a wireless card for your ADSL router, or a wireless capable ADSL router - I think maybe D-Link do one (Tech Pacific are the distributors for D-Link from memory). Some notebooks are starting to appear with built-in wireless networking too ... in which cae you wouldn't need a wireless card for your laptop. |
