I want to upgrade my current hard drive which is ATA/66 to a "larger faster" drive, but it is very hard to find "larger faster" ATA/66 drives. So I was wondering if I could just buy and connect an ATA/100 drive.

I started out with (2x512)=1G I wanted to bump it to (2x1G). I took out the 512's and put in two sticks of 1G in the 1 and 2 slots on my Dell 8400 Dimesion (bought 2005). The system recognized that i had 2G but the computer just kept on cycling through the start up procedure by itself. Start up -shut down, start up - shut down. Won't go past the windows log on stage. Help Please! Is this a dell specific problem. Do i have to buy my memory from dell only?
the memory sticks are Samsung 610

I am replacing my ghetto built PC, and am wondering if I should try going the way of the iMAC. I know jack about **** when it comes to computing, but live in a family of know-it-alls and they all swear up and down that PC is the way to go. I am not a gamer, I don't do business type ****. I use the internet, word processing, digital photos, and that's about it. I have looked on craigslist, and can find an iMAC G3 for about $100. Ok Ok, so its outdated, but can it give me the idea of what operating a Mac is like? And would it be worth the investment? I don't have the money to go buy a $1200 computer only to find out I can't use the damn thing. But I can float a c-note. Ok, so to recap, because I am lost right now:

!. Are macs any good?
2. Are they harder to use than a PC, or just different?
3.Can I learn the language on a used iMAC G3?
4. Do I look fat in this avatar?

In the past, all the computer ads, in the flyers that accompany various newspapers, invariably highlighted, for each computer that was offered for sale, 1)processor speed, 2)memory size and 3)disc capacity. Lately, the ads don't mention processor speed. Why not?
