I just bought a 1G ram card. I already have 2 512mb ram cards installed. Can I have 2 different types of ram cards plugged in at the same time? Or do I have to have all of the same type of ram (512mb or 1G)

i am trying to transfer music over from a emac to a pc. i converted the hd in the disk utility (Disk Utility - Erase), and i set it up as an MS-DOS File system to allow the transfers. but for some reason, when i hook up the drive to the PC, the drivers still work, but in the MY COMPUTER it does not show up and i cannot open the drive.

the external hard drive is a maxtor OneTouch III USB drive.

what am i doing wrong?

OK, dumb me, I was relisting an item and wanted to upgrade the look of the picture but when I copied and saved it, it saved it really small, is there any way I can still use this or go back to my listing and use the pic without having to lay out the fabric and retake the picture, Am I making sense ? :)

I know it runs all the time. But recently it kept running fast and loud. I opened the tower and discovered the thing to keep the fan onto the motherboard broke. Its a black plastic square thing and has these metal clips that clip onto it to hold the fan on. Well one thing broke off, and I think this is why the fan keeps coming on. Theres also thermal grease on it.

If I think it to the computer shop Monday, what should I tell them? I get nervous explaining things to people because I end up forgetting what to say lol.

This process is not running under the owners name instead its running under a system process yet this process is hogging CPU usage, So i think its some kid of virus or something. But the thing is i have tryed running ad-aware and after a minute or so or running the computer goes blue screen with fatal error. Then i tryed running in Safemode but it gets to loading safemode and for some reason this Iexplore.exe process is still running and hogging the CPU usage making it where i cant get into safe mode. So anyone have a ideal? what this is and what i can do to remove it? I mean its making the pc run really slow and i have notice few popups when loading IE but i have disable the internet until i can figure what kind of solution to this problem.

we recently got a brand new dj system for our club. the eMac couldnt take the new software so we switched to a PC. now i am trying to transfer all the music files (9000+ songs, 28GB-ish) from the eMac to the PC.

Now the club bought a 320gb external HD to store the music on. only problem is that the eMac does not recognise it. so i tried my 80gb external HD with the same result.

if i switch my 80gb HD to the specifications of the eMac, will i be able to still access the HD files?
in the eMac disk utility it gives me a choice of

1. ERASE: MAC OS EXTENDED, MAC OS STANDARD, MS-DOS FILE SYSTEM, and UNIX FILE SYSTEM

2. PARTITION: MAC OS EXTENDED, MAC OS STANDARD, UNIX FILE SYSTEM, and FREE SPACE

I also noticed my lexar thumb drive works on both because it is a FAT and not an NTSF like the other external hard drives. Is it possible to convert one of the hard drives to FAT to transfer the music, then revert it back to NTSF?

Please i need this help badly!

Your help is well appreciated!
