AnandTech have some great in-depth reviews of the latest hardware available
If you are installing new hardware you may need to find an updated driver for it. A driver is a piece of software which interfaces between Windows and the device to make it work. Manufactures frequently release new drivers to fix bugs or to make their products compatible with new computers and software.
If you are looking for a driver you can try one of the manufacturer links above or the more general driver site listed below.
If you already have a dial-up account with an internet service provider then you should have an email address.
The
email address is usually "yourloginname@yourisp.com.au"
yourloginname is the account name you use to dial-up to the
internet
yourisp is your internet service provider (ie bigpond.com or
ozemail.com)
If you don't have one the following sites offer free email addresses.
If you are looking for a dial-up account I recommend the following Internet Service Providers
iiNet (WA)
iiNet are not
the cheapest provider but they offer a good, reliable service
PowerUp (QLD)
As with iiNet,
PowerUp are not the cheapest but they offer a good, reliable
service
BigPond (National)
BigPond have
reasonable rates & service, they also use a national access
number which is great if you travel around the country
If you are looking for a broadband account I recommend the following in order of preference, however your choices may be limited depending on your location.
1. Optus Cable
2. BigPond
Cable
3. BigPond
ADSL
