Hardware - November 2006

Its an old motherboard, should I use (4) 256mb or (2) 512mb ram? I just found that it only supports 1 gig, so, which would be the best bet? Is it safer to do (4) 256s because its about 5 years old?

Everytime I press the button to close the tray, it goes in about an inch, then stops. I cannot see that anything is jammed and stuck in it.

Is there anyway I can undo the copy made of my internal hard drive to my externa. My friend was only supposed to back up my internal hard drive but ended up copying it(he used Paragon Back Up Utility Software). And its freaking me out because all the data that was on my external hard drive is lost(exact replica of my main drive) Can the data be restored freely through windows or any type of freeware that won't have limitations?

1. If I have 4 slots, should I put four 256mb or two 512mb ram? (Its and older motherboard, so it doesnt have the dual ram ability.)
a. Why?

2. I have a 1.8 pentium 4. I also have a motherboard that can hold a max of 2 gigs of ram. If I install 1 gig worth, would it run alot fast then 512? Or, because its a 1.8 itll run about the same?

3. What do the numbers mean? 4 - 4 - 8, 3 - 3 - 8 ...etc.
What do each represent, and what is better, higher or lower number?

I am hoping to gather insights into how a computer physically stores the data onto a cd. What form does this data take? Is it burnt onto the cd? Is it visible or invisible to the naked eye? What does the 'reading' or 'playback' device actually 'see' or 'read'? Thank you for the sensible answer.
