If you haven't read one of my Q's lately, I'm having a problem w/ my video card being to long to fit into the AGP slot.

Some have suggested to just reroute the dang IDE cable that is in the way. How could I do this if I only know of one plug for the Specific blue indicated IDE cable?

looking for an awesome laptop I stumbled across two processors, the AMD turion 64 tl- 60 (2.0 ghz) and the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7200 (2.0 GHz) and a lower Intel model which is slightly slower and cheaper of 1.8 ghz.

With past experienses with both of them I found AMD to be faster, but I have no experienses on labtops. Too me the price isn't that big of a factor, which one should I get if the intel 1.8 ghz and the AMD 2.0ghz for laptops are the same price with the Intel 2.0ghz costing an extra 300 bucks?

I want to reinstall windows, and I have a second hard drive for which I had to install software for it to work. The second hard drive I use only to backup files that are important (specific documents, photos, etc.). When I wipe the main hard drive and reinstall Windows, will this also erase the second hard drive?

Shouldn't a 1 GB thumb/flash drive hold more than 155 photos? I bought 3 of these and the most they hold is about 150-160 photos. I was told they'd hold about 500 to 1000 pictures each. I have so many pictures to save from my 'dying' computer ...They are PNY brands. Thanks!
