I have a 2 year old motherboard [GAMILLA2-GL6E(MS-6577)] with Intel 845GV chipset, which i think is not SATA compatible. Can I upgrade my PC with a newer 250 GB SATA drive? I also want to keep my older PATA hard drive.

I've found "virgin empty" (used) cartridges on eBay, but I haven't found never-used/never-filled cartridges. I don't care what brand the cartridge is for; the availability of empty cartridges will determine what brand printer I buy, not vice-versa. The cartridges must be completely clean and sterile!

crackles are also heard when i plug my headphones into the computer. However, plugging the speakers to a separate device like the ipod doesn't elicit any crackles? I'm guessing its something to do with the computer rather than the speakers. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks

any idea what causes this? I've cleaned the fan and blew all the dust off the inside of the tower. But its still happening. It may go for weeks before it beeps or it may start beeping every time I turn it on/

I've owned my Dell Inspiron 9300 for a year and a half and the computer runs perfectly fine. However, the AC Adapter for it seems to be on its last legs--the cable that runs between my laptop and the adapter is "yanking out" on the adapter side (with over two inches of bare wire being visible) and I've currently got it patched together with electrical tape. Is it possible to fix the cable by myself, and if so how? If not, what are my options aside from buying a new one from Dell?

I will be using it at home and therefore will not need to share it with anyone else. My use of the printer will be light (about 20 pages a week) and my use of the fax machine will be even less (1 page a month).

When I get back from trips I will have to scan as much as 100 text documents at a time, but then won't need to scan again for another week. My guess is that I won't scan more than 200 documents in any one month period.

Here are the features that I think I need:

Big Document Feeder
Flatbed
Separate black and color cartridge
Supports Wireless Technology
16MB of memory

What am I missing from the list?

I have 2 computers, one of the computer's harddrive's is done. I wnted to take the hard drive from the lesser of the 2 computers and put it into the more "juiced" one, but it wont recognize it. What do i do? The only reason why i was able to buy a new computer was with the promise to stick my wife's computer into my old system. Now i am looking for a solution
