I recently purchased an external hard disk (Seagate 500GB eSata). It does not support USB or firewire. The box says that it needs to be connected to PCI 2.2 or higher card slot. So, how can I connect it to my laptop. Is there a particular laptop card available, or eSata to Firewire connector. Thanks in advance!

Right now I am using a Sony VAIO desktop with a 3.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor. I'm considering buying a macbook for the upcoming school year. The macbooks have a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Speedwise, what is the comparison between the two processors?

Thanks :)

I bought a new Acer X171 17" LCD plug-n-play monitor because my old CRT finally died. I run Windows XP and the computer is eMachines from about 2001. Gig Intel Celeron processor, 3D AGP Graphics from Pentium. The problem is that after Windows loads and is running, the image on the new monitor is twitchy or jumpy (shaky?). Clearly it's a setting in Windows that is making it do this because when the computer is first started up the image is fantastic. Even when Windows is loading, the image is just perfect. The issue only presents itself when Windows is actually running. What am I missing? I set the monitor exactly how it said to in the paperwork but it's still weird, constantly. What can I do to fix this?

Pleae help me - my eyes are starting to go buggy because of this! :)

plugged the 2nd HD in, it never started up again. No 'pop', no smoke, no nothing. The hardrive doesnt have any spots that look melted or burnt. I also put in a 650watt power supply. Is it possible I had too many add-ons for the motherboard to handle, or do you think it might be the switch in the front of the case that quit working?

I have an Epson R1800 photo ink jet printer.
Brilliant printer - when printing colour.

I set out to print 500 leaflets and 1/2 way through found i had to replace my Cyan ink, Blue and now it's begging me to replace my Red - why?

It's a black and white text leaflet, so why is it draining all my colour cartridges?

Is there a way to just print black, matt black at that and leave the other 7 cartridges alone?

OK, here's my story-one day, when I booted up the computer, it didn't recignize the hard drive. Many days later, I wiggled the cable, and got it function. Unfortunaltely, it can't boot windows because just as the computer is about to end the loading, it reboots.

Even if it can differentiate between just 2 colors wud be sufficient. I need to capture data from a monitor using photodiodes for processing in an 8051 microcontroller. Any other suggestion for data stream capture wud be greatly appreciated. And please specify any special photodiodes if used.
