What type of cards go in a PCI-E 1-15x? I know video cards go into 16x speed. This mobo I am thinking of getting has one PCI-4x and two PCI-E 1x?

Here is url is you do not know what I mean. Network cards from what I know use PCI and maybe PCI-X. Video cards use AGP 4/8x
and more commonly PCI-E 16x. Sound cards also use PCI correct?

I have a note book 3 yrs old with XP professional. I installed scanner and webcam. Since then the computer kept crashing. Today I tried to restore to August 25th and since then it does not even start. It kept saying dumping physical memory and then restart. I have not backed my files. I wonder how I can back up and then restore it. Should I take this to a store such as Best Buy or should I be able to fix. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

im choosing between the Viewsonic VX922 and the Dell 1907FP. it is only a $10 difference, the Dell being the more expensive. Im finding it hard to choose. Im leaning towards the dell only cause of the adjustable height, which is a stupid reason. got anything that could help me out? if you have another suggestion, im all ears.

i want to make them to market them, and dont tell me i need lots of ram because the whole point of the lap tops is to run 2 programs and to make them only for 2 programs. i also figure if they have low ram and cant have more then thes 2 programs then they are less likely to be stolen, from my coustomers.

My PC was zapped during a storm and now I can't even turn it on. Unfortunately, I've got a CD in the drawer and I can't get it out. It's an HP Pavillion and there is no opening to slip a paperclip into to open it. Now what do I do? Can anyone help? Tks!

I have Windows XP. The kids were playing with the computer and now I have lost part of my desktop screen and any pages after that.
About 1/5 of the left hand side of my desktop and anything on the internet is black (vertical).
Does anyone know what caused this and how to fix it?
Thanks.

i just bought a memorex dvd burner, it came with the dvd burner software. I inserted a Non protected dvd in the PC's drive and try to open it on the burning program but my computer does not recognise the disk, so it thinks there is nothing in the drive. Do you need a drive that plays dvds? I have a dell pentium4. i am really confused. i just spent 6543216 $$$ on this, and cant get it to work!! help!!

I have an iBuddie XP...well really it is my friends computer, but I am trying to help her out...all I know is that I plugged in the wireless adapter that she has for it, and it didn't read it, so then I went through the help thing on there and it told me how to check the USB but the USB ports said that they were not being read, so then I thought well let me try something that I know works, and I plugged in my memory stick, and that did not work either. So I do not know what is wrong or how I can fix it...can anyone at all be of some assistance, PLEASE?? Thank you so much.
