I currently have a 500W PSU. Will that run one 320MB 8800GTS? What about if I want to run 2 in SLI? What will I need for that?

Thank you.

On my old PC I use to connect it to the TV via an s-video cable. Now that I have a MacBook, I don't have an S-video plug, what do I need to connect my macbook to my TV to watch my downloaded TV shows?

Links to buy products would be awesome.

After successful installing the drivers to each computer, we find it troublesome to plug and unplug the USB cable every time in order to use it from our respective computers.

Could someone please give me a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of an iMac and the latest Microsoft computer (im not sure if i should say Sony computer here instead of Microsoft...but i mean the software too, not just the hardware.)?

I´ve been searching around in the internet a lot, but unfortunately, i´ve only seem able to come across, either totally biased Apple-based or totally biased Microsoft-based answers and advice.

I´m just looking for the basic differences, whats better in what area, and such things. So, i´d really, really appreciate any objective help you could give me. :)

Thank you in advance. :)

Like just now, I start up my PC, and they both work fine. Yesterday (and a couple of times in the last few days), it's like they don't exist. They won't open, and Windows Explorer doesn't see them. A re-boot makes no difference.
