Overall which of these two cards are the best:
Visiontek ATI HD 3870
Visiontek ATI HD 3850
I have been receving more cons about the 3870, but the 3850 has no cons and has the best ratings everywhere.
It has to play crysis at top performance, Half-life, and all new games out.
I just want to know which one has a smooth and reliable performance on that woun't let me down for a long time.
Please i have been researching for almost 4 months now.

I need to add a new hard drive and I have brought it, it is a SATA not a PATA so it should work but there are 2 ports for me to put in the hard drive and both are used, one by the Primary Hard Drive and the other by the DVD drive. How can I connect my new hard drive.

Do you recomend any laptop computers from either companys- Dell or HP- for a student on a buget?
The laptop should have about 120GBs, lightweight, durable, and not be too pricey.

...that there are 2 cores at 2.0 Ghz, for a combined total of 4.0 Ghz, or the 2 cores equal 2.0 Ghz (Each core at 1.0 Ghz)?

Also, when it says "1.5 Ghz, 1.49 Ghz" in the system properties in WIndows, what does that mean?
