I plan to use it for Internet, writing, digital photography, and music. What options do I need to look for ? How much memory? How much should I expect to spend? It's been a really long time since I've purchased a new computer so all the new terms are confusing me and I don't know what I need. Help!

I had a normal hard drive 40 GB with my first pc. I kept the hard disk but I upgraded to a new 3.0 GHZ pc and it came with a new SATA hard disk because motherboards hard disk model only works with SATA hard drives as I was told.
I got some important files on the old normal disk.
Now is there any way to connect the old one to my new pc?

I'm surprised how people accept this.. And it's not even just from the side.. if you're not directly looking at the screen, if you're higher than the monitor or lower than the monitor.. it looks like BRIGHT and you can't see it. Well, this was my experience using a LCD from 2000, i have a CRT apple monitor and no matter what angle you look , the image is clear and the brightness doesn't change. So i'm planning on buying a flat screen, but i'm wondering if i'm gonna have to get used to a screen that changes brightness depending on your angle. cause that would suck

I am looking to buy a new computer. I would mostly only use it for 2 things, the internet and to play video games. A co-worker told me that a desktop is much better and cheaper for my situation, but the only thing is that I might be leaving the country in about a year. So it would be much easier to travel with a laptop than with a desktop.

My printer keeps coming up with an alarm say "printer jam" even though there's no such thing...any ideas?

Paper type is HP Premium Photo.

I fiddle with the buttons, pull the power chord, get one print, then the alarm comes back...

Thanks

We got a hp slimline Pavillion. It came with Sonic to burn movies but it won't work and we are tired of wasting time and blanks. SO we reinstalled Nero but it goes really SLOWLY. Any ideas on how to speed it up? We use DVD Fab and DVD Shrink, then NERO to burn. Burning used to take few minutes, now it takes like 45 min to burn one movie :(
