Do all or most computers have them? I'm not sure if I'll be able to upgrade my graphics card if I don't have them. I have a Dell Precision 670 if that helps.

i have the external hard drive named above, the power cord of which comes in two parts. the part of the power cord that plugs in to the device has a light on it to let you know the power is working. when the power cord is plugged in to the mains, but not the device, the light comes on. but as soon as I plug it in to the device the light goes out and there is no power to the device. Is this a problem with the power cord or the device?

So, I'm using a Windows computer, and I finally decided it was time for a Mac, because everyone I know who has a Mac has no problem with media production. Now, one of the biggest things I'm worried about is latency with MIDI. This, of course, isn't the only reason I'm switching from Windows, but if I get a MacBook Pro, can I expect much lower latency? Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Hello all,
I have a 4 yr old Toshiba laptop A25. The touchpad for the pointer started working intermittently. As if it was being somehow turned off, but I checkunder control panel and it is always on. The touchpad works sometimes when I powerup and other times it does not. it got worse happening more often over time. I never know when I power up if I am going to have to use an exernal mouse that day.Lately it is almost always. It is not showing "touchpad off" in control panel ever. Also now the keyboard is starting the same way the touchpad did. Now, every now and then neither the touch pad nor the keyboard will work at all, but if I quit,and wait a while, when I try again the keypad will work,but lately the touchpad never works anymore. I cannot figure out what the deal is.There are no viruses present. I also have tried using the restore disk, but all that did was make me loose all my files. Please help as I cant afford Geek squad with no warranty left.
Thanks!
