I have a 500 watt power supply, and I bought 2 additional hard drives for my Pentium 4 (2.8 ghz) system with 1 gig of ram. The system has a few PCI cards that require power directly from the power supply, like my graphics card, so therefore I don't have enough power plugs, from the power supply, to go to my new hard drives. Can I simply buy a sort of power supply splitter from somewhere?

I would like to know what are good reasons I should consider printing in color.

I wonder if color printing is expensive.

What brands are good consideration.

Thanks...

I was thinking of getting a DDR2 Ram. But i was wondering, is there a lot of difference between DDR2 800 and DDR2 667? I was refering to those normal rams but not those extreme rams. And i saw 2 brands, Patriot and AData. So which one is better?

My motherboard’s second IDE port is not working, so I had to buy an IDE PCI card so that I can hook up two additional hard drives to my computer. The problem is, I’m not too sure how the jumpers should be setup on the two new hard drives that I am installing. Should the jumpers on the two new hard rives be taken out completely (so as to make them slaves,) or should they be set to “cable select?”

Here's my setup:
Athlon 64 3200+, 512mb (pc3200 400MHz) x 2 (1GB total) of RAM, some 10,000rpm hard drive, dual-monitors, no background apps running.

Today I finally upgraded my video card from a PNY GeForce 5950 Ultra (256mb 8xAGP) to a PNY GeForce 7600 GS (512mb 8xAGP).

I ran World of Warcraft, and the frame-rate was still averaging about 30fps at 1280x1024. When I run WoW, I have about 256mb of physical RAM still free, but my CPU is usually between 90-100% usage.

However, even when I lower the resolution, and my CPU usage is between 80-95%, I only get a few frames better.

Is my CPU bottle-necking my system when it comes to running WoW? Surely the 7600 GS is superior to the 5950 Ultra ... right? And what else would help to increase my system performance? (Remember I'm using socket 939 so I can't get too fancy of a processor.)

Thanks for your help!
Derek

They work on Canon and HP printers. I am wondering if any stores out there refill Epson inks, especially the photo printer inks. I have both HP and Epson printers. The HP is a Deskjet model, and requires just plain ol ink, but the Epson is an R200 photo printer, and has 6 different ink cartridge (one for black, 5 for color). Of course, it's expensive for the Epson replacement cartridges, over $100.00. The capacity in each cartridge isn't much for the Epson, while the HP has a lot of ink and i could print a ton of stuff!
