Im trying to buy a SATA HDD enclosure, but most enclosures I see (at least the "cheaper" ones) have USB/eSATA out only. My macbook doesnt have eSATA and I want to use FireWire. If I buy a USB to FireWire adapter, will the transfer speeds be at FireWire or USB? Thank you!

I've recently upgraded my RAM from 1GB to 2GB. Originally my Dell Dimension 2400 came from factory with only 128MB. Can you believe it? Now I'm told I need to increase my PAGE FILE SIZE to help take advantage of the increased RAM. I need the most speed from my RAM upgrade, thanks for your answers.

I have an HP4030us (bought it in 2005) and I believe it has this LightScribe Technology. I also have a DVD recorder that I use with my tivo. I popped one of those DVDs in and it doesn't appear my laptop will write on it as it appears not to even recognize that it's inserted. Do I need to buy LightScribe DVDs ONLY for this laptop? Besides being able to make labels ON the DVD itself, is it a different type of DVD altogether than the type I use to record TV shows? Is it a data DVD? I know i need to use DATA CDs in the laptop to record music on them, the type I use in my stand-alone CD recorder don't work. So, I'm assuming I need DATA DVDs as well. Do they HAVE to be LightScribe DVDs?

I know this is alot of questions within a question. Any and all help will be appreciated greatly. Thank you.

No doubt you've experienced once that screen of blue death where it says checking a disc. It takes forever to end. Well I get this problem EVERY day I start my computer and I can't cancel it because NO MATTER if I push a button it still continues. I have to sit through 1 hour of my computer "checking my drive". I shut my computer down properly and everything. I think I can fix it but I want to know WHY it does that! Does anyone know?

My PC is a dell optiplex GX620, dual Xeon with 3Gb RAM and 1HDD, I want to get the card in the question but do not know if I have enough power for it to work. As it is a Dell it is BTX supply and after a bit of searching, I have found the following

I have been advised by Verizon that I no longer have virus protection. Previously was on both Verizon and AOL. Aol provided the protection until I discontinued AOL. Does VerizonYahoo provide Virus Protection along with the firewall.

After that buggy habit, it started slowing down and became like a Pentium 2 computer. The laptop is only 7-months old and also free of virus and spyware (Checked with McAfee virus shield which comes with spyware).

The programs which I installed into it does not cause the problem as I have previously installed it inside my normal computer.

The programs which I installed in the laptop has the same programs as the computer.

I have a lexmark x1100 all in one printer connected to my windows xp desktop via a usb connection. I have a laptop running windows vista. Both computers are connected to a netgear rangemax wireless router. The desktop has a wired cnnection to the router and the laptop has a wireless connection. When I try to send a print request over the network from the laptop to the printer connected to the desktop. When I send a request to the printer it ays "problem comunicating to the printer". I have checked the usb cable and power cord, taking them out and putting them back in again as well as restarting both coputers. The vista machine has a vista printer driver installed for this printer. I assume that the desktop which running xp ust needs a drivr compatible with xp or does it need a vista compatibl driver?

Any help ould be greatly apreciate.

Thanks

Is there any difference between the old black coaxial cable and the new white coaxial cable they use now. I want to run cable out to the garage and the neighbor has a spool of black wire but I also want to hook up internet and they usually install the white coaxial these days and don't want to run the black coaxial if it isn't going to work the best for internet applications. Are they differenet grades of wire? What should I be looking for to run internet? Or will the black coaxial be fine?
