OK- so I have a few questions. But, here's some info that you may need to know.

(1) I want to make sure that all my pics/important documents/ etc are saved in case somehting should happen to my computer.

(2) My CD/dvd drive isn't working- So, I can't back up to a CD

(3) I have a USB card reader/writer

*** QUESTIONS ***

(1) Can I back up everything on my computer & is it recommended? Or, should I just back up pics & important documents?

(2) Is "backing up" the same thing as saving to a disk?

(3) Can i save anything (esp. pics) to my USB card? And, if so- how do I do it?

Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 530 and I stream music to the internet via a program called SAM by Spacial Audio.

I bought an 24-bit Multi-Engine Effects Processor made by Behringer to connect between my MIC and the computer so I could get some nice voice effects.

Well when I connect it I get a lot of line noise, "buzzing" if you will. How do I get rid of that?

I have made sure the processor is grounded, and using the same power strip the my PC uses. I even tried going to "LINE IN" instend of "MIC". I still get noice.

I am in the market for a laptop. I have limited resources. Does anyone know a really good low priced laptop that can burn cd's and dvd's and allow me to watch movies, but that can function in everyday life and can travel around.

This may be a stupid question, but can a motherboard run memory that is at a lower speed than the motherboards specs?

For example, can a motherboard with Memory Standard DDR2 667 240pin run DD2 533 240 pin memory?
