An example would be the E4300. In its specification, it's FSB is 800 Mhz but when I hear people talking about it, they say that the FSB is 200 Mhz. What's the difference because this doesn't make any sense.

Granted, computers are made to add or remove software and hardware to and from. But, I noticed on these questions a lot of seeming younger pc users start messing around with sound cards, external drives, burning software, links to click on, all sorts of problems. Wouldn't it be better to search around on something like PCWorld Magazine, CNET, or read reviews of what's availible, and just buy a good pc with everything allready in the pc? I don't understand the need to experiment. I guess I am self-taught about pc performance. I simply don't tinker like these younsters do. Maybe my advice is to do research what's in stores. Many stores are good ones for advice. A lot of stores sell a lot of lousy pc stuff. Is anyone with me on this? Isn't it true there are pcs made with just about everything in it, that we don't have to install anything else these days?

I bought it used from a friend of a friend, and now I can't get in touch with the original owner. It works fine otherwise, but I would like to go wireless. The Gateway website says it's available on this model, but it's not clear on whether it was optional or standard. I can't seem to install it, but I don't want to take that to mean it doesn't have one. Please tell me how to find out if one is there, and how to install it.

Okay, so I have an old Compaq Hard Drive from an older computer, which I know is still in great condition- just with out a laptop (DK23AA-12). I also have a HP Hard drive from a pavilion.

They both were interchangeable for the two computers, meaning they have the same "plugs". I now have this brand spanking new computer, and the extra 90 gigs wouldn't hurt (even if it were external space). My new computer is a Dell Inspiron E1705 running Vista. What ways can I use these two hard drives, and yes I am okay only using one of them. I don't care if it is external or internal, I just am curious to how I would go about it. Connections, programs needed, yata yata.

Any questions you may have, make sure to leave them in your answer and check back later because I will update the question as you all ask.
