Would I be better off getting a broadband wireless card with a contract from a service provider or just getting a wireless router with a card?

This setup must be able to transmit between 100-150 feet from computer to printer. Both the computer and printer will be in covered buildings with nothing but air and opportunity between them.
Any ideas would be welcome. Oh, yeah I don't have a wireless printer. So I will need some ideas on that too.

ACcording to the ATI manual for my newly bought PCI-E card, (it's an ATI X1900 GT PCI-E x16) they say i should have a power supply of 450+.

But the computer i wanted to get (dell dimension 9200) only has 375watts. In fact most computers i looked at, don't have 450 watts.

I'm confused, is 450 watts just a recommendation?

You just press something and it increases the amount of the space you want. But, I can't seem to figure out where that button is. I have found it in the past. But, I forgot.

Hey guys, i need some info from you serious tech-heads. I just bought an ATI X1900GT PCI-E...i'm planning to buy a Dell Dimension 9200 (so i can use the card). I'm a bit worried, the manual says the computer should have a 450watt+ power supply and a 12v special connector. Now the connector i'm sure it has since it has a PCI-E x16 slot, but 450watts?

This dimension 9200 only has 375watt, and most of the dell machines i looked all have 375watts - so i'm really confused, do i have to get a 450 watt supply just to run this video card?

Thanks for any help!

Ok, I dont know anything about computers or how they work. I have a laptop and i download a lot of music and its taking up a lot of memory. If i buy a memory stick, can i put all my music on it to clear up some memory and access it just by plugging in the memory stick? Can I put my whole itunes and limewire programs on the stick so they are not on my comp and just open them up and download more songs by plugging in the memory stick? or can i only put the music on and leave the program on the laptop?

I am looking for a laptop that can deliver high resolution video (as high as 2560x1600 ). Even if I have to use a docking station that still would be good. I have looked and did not find any at Dell. Anyone know of another brand that has something like this.
