Is that all I have to do? So I'll just have to move the power(P2) and the long flat cable(don't know the name) to the new drive, right? Oh, and what's the normal size of a cd-rw drive?

I just upgraded my pc and plan to put my 512mb pc3200 stick into my aunt's computer. She only has a 256mb pc2700 stick.

I know that if I put both sticks in, the 3200 will run down at 2700 speeds. Would I be better off using both, or just the 3200?

I've been hearing Vista is a nightmare and Apple is the way to go now. I've never used one...are they difficult to get used to? I need a basic one...internet, music, photos, thats about it. Do they have Microsoft Word or do I have to buy something separate to have it? Any help would be great!

I recently upgraded my laptop to vista and now I want to go back to xp.

I forgot to create a restore point before I did this and I also cant find my xp disc either.

I was wondering if I can download the windows operating system from anywhere or even copy it from my wifes laptop onto mine?

Is any of this possible?

My pc shuts down automatically and reboots itself, when I'm connected to the internet. I lose everything I'm doing at the time. I then have to reconnect to the internet and start over. Is this a fan problem? The room temp is always around 70 degrees. This is a constant problem.

I recently purchased a brand new emachines T6534 desktop computer. I just hooked it up and it seems to run fine, except the DVD/CD drive isn't working. I tried a couple of music CDs and a couple of autoload program discs. Nothing happens. I looked at the drive folder and it shows nothing is in the drive when a disc is. The computer says that the drivers are current. Any advise? Thanks.
