Add-ons - December 2006

i was recently at Fry's Electronics and i noticed that the internal HD were really cheap (i'm talking about the 300GB-750GB) compared to the portable ones. but the portables were selling a lot faster and a lot more than the internals. why is this? is the ready made external Hard Drive better than getting an internal HD and converting it into an external HD? or is it the other way around and people just don't want to deal with the hassle of putting the thing together?

actually i believe that if we set/reset the memory cells of a flash memory unit to all 0s or 1s, then it should not be possible to recover data from it since there should be no 'leftover' information anywhere- as all the information that is stored anywhere is in the state of flip flops which can be either 0 or 1

I have a new Dell 5150 which only has 2 x PCI slots. One is fitted with a modem the other has a firewire 1394 card in it. Does anyone know a cheap firewire & analogue in card so I can feed old VHS pal tapes in as well as my digital video on one card in one slot. If this is not possible do you know a USB analogue to PC kit.
Many thanks,
Joe Murphy

I want to get a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse for my boyfriend. I need it to use the USB drive... I am thinking about getting the Logitech LX300 Cordless Desktop Keyboard and Optical Mouse Combo from tigerdirect.com (I have bought a couple different things from this website and was pleased with it)

Is this a good choice? Do you have any other suggestions on which one i should buy? What brand? What websites?

Thank you in advance for all answers!!!

i have a desktop pc , config - 3.0 ht technology, 512mb ddr ram, gigabyte 915 Series MB , onboard sound support 6.1,4.1 and 2 (stereo support). Ac97.

i have a 5.1 channel speakers, and i was wondering whether i could use the same on the existing config. i am aware that this doesnt produce the same quality sound that it should.

if i were to go in for a Sound Card which is suitable ? pls give in the config details of the card too.

if i were to go in for a 7.1 channel card , will it have a support for 6.1, 5.1, 4.1 and 2 (stereo support) and can it be backward compatible (i.e support all the above channels)

thanxs and i hope i havent scared anyone of with such a huge query :D

high-capacity memory and modules or relays operating on the yes/no principle. What does that mean. It is about the Z1 computer back in 1936.
