It's a Plextor PX-740A dual-layer drive. It came with a grab box that I purchased on eBay for about $13.00, which included some other stuff. It only reads discs, but won't write them. It's in great physical condition, I was wondering if I should resell it cheap on eBay as a unit that needs repair, or if I should get it fixed (or maybe fix it myself if possible). Or should I just toss it in the trash can? It retails for about $60 to $100 (I think).

I'm using an ASUS P5GL-MX motherboard with Windows XP Professional Edition Service Pack 2. I want to add a SATA 3.5" hard disk into it but I am afraid it is not compatible with the motherboard as stated in the user guide.

This fall I'll be purchasing a new personal Laptop. I'm thinking about going with a Macbook Pro with Leopard. My question is how compatible will it be with Windows machines. For instance if I have M.S. Office files to share can I do that? If I have Windows-based games like World of Warcraft will I need Mac versions or can I use my current CDs? Most importantly I’m going to grad school in the fall. I assume most of my classmates will be using windows laptops. How will our file/program sharing go? Will I be a big pain in the ****?

Part of the fun and intrigue of a Mac is ease of use and exploring "Mac Computing" after all these years of being on Windows machines. But I don't want to be on an island.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite A135-2286 laptop about 4 months ago. It is running Windows Vista and only has 512 MB of RAM. I purchased an additional 512 MB stick of RAM from Crucial.com and installed it today. I expected to boot the system and have 1GB total, however it only recognizes 512MB.

I removed the factory installed memory module and installed -only- the module that I purchased from crucial.com, and it booted fine, so I know the module is good. The system just won't recognize that I have 1GB when I install them both.

Should I send this memory back to crucial.com and order a "name brand"? I've got a tight budget, but I found a Corsair 1GB module at tigerdirect for $39.99:

Do you think this will be compatible with my factory installed memory, or even with the system?

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 6400 from dell equipped with an ATi Mobility Radeon x1400. However, the graphics drivers that dell included with the card are out of date. and the Verification Utility that ATi has you download before downloading the real driver says that the software is not compatible to update (i'm assuming since the drivers are included by dell). Can I uninstall the drivers that came with my dell and install the latest ATi drivers? or will i just ruin my laptop?

Recently, i bought a brand new ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 Edition, and on the box it says it is for AGP Buses. After i read the manual, it said that it is for a 8x/4x AGP slot. I have a VIA P4ma Pro (the 533 supporting one), and it have a 4x/2x AGP slot. I have't try it and please tell me if it will work, because it took me almost one year to find this "rare" graphic card.
Thx
