I am trying to add a partition to my hdd. I have lots of free space on the disk but no unallocated space. When I right-click in the free space area in the computer management window, add a partition is not an option. Is this because there is no unallocated space?

I currently have 2 X 512Mb DDR400 Samsung sticks working at DDR333 speed(166Mhz or smth like that). Can i add another 1GB at the same speed (DDR333) on a ASrock P4V88+ ?
(The manufacturer sais that it can work if the sticks are DDR333 (up to 4 can be added), however the 2 512Mb ones i have, although they both are DDR400 are auto set by bios to run as 2 DDR333's.)
Thanx for ur help.

Concerning power supplies, what does an active and/or passive PFC mean? Another thing, what does it mean when they say ATX12V / EPS12V? I know ATX is the form factor and 12V is the voltage of the rail cord on the power supply, but what is EPS12V?

I'm guessing that the rate at which technology makes components obsolete varies from part to part. I would like to know how often I would need to replace every component including: case, power supply, hard drives, memory, motherboard, etc. The reason why I am asking is that I am looking to build my first budget pc but don't want to be replacing the whole thing in a year. Which parts should I spend the money on and which parts can I be more frugal with?
