I have a laptop and want to run 2 external 20" monitors. The monitors do 1680x1050 resolution.

what is a good external box to use for this? I know there is the Matrox dual head, but the resolution doesn't seem to match my needs. I would think I need something that supports 3360x1050. Any devices out there that would acomplish this?

I'm just learning about memory and graphics cards... this time I'm looking into the graphics card. I know i should get something like NVidia GeForce 7300 or more, or ATI Radeon x1800 or something.. but I keep running into things like "when you have an acp system, make sure you only install..." blah blah... What do those letters mean?

I have a Compaq Deskpro EN, and I would like to get a video card. I have someone willing to sell me one, but he needs to know what kind of slot I have. Does anyone know what kind of slot this is, or where I can find out without taking my computer apart?

I have an intel p4 windows xp sp2. I found out I loooove multimedia, powerpoint...games....all that.
I have an intel(r) graphics card that needs replacing by NVidia GeForce.
I have 512mb ram. (what can I say, naive first buyer)
I want to upgrade to the specified graphics card but I suspect my poor 512mb ram will be eaten in seconds...I've already extended virtual memory to maximum and I find it a poor solution.
so, please tell me this: how can I upgrade the amount of ram in my existing desktop?
By the way...I do not want to upgrade xp to vista, because of so many things not yet working in vista... anyone who can explain clearly is greatly appreciated :)

I have an Acer notebook and until recently my wireless worked perfectly fine, but now I can't get it working at all, how can I switch it back on, there use to be a little red square on the task bar that I had to activate and it would turn green, this square has now dissappeared.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
