I'm possibly looking at getting a slate-style Tablet PC in the future.
Anyone have an idea on the price? I've seen them as low as $1800.00USD
online. I was hoping for one under $1000.00. To clarify: no
keyboard--not the swivel type. If I need a keyboard I'd just get a
generic USB keyboard. Also, have they released any Tablet PC's yet
with the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor? Any other info you'd like to
add about Tablet PC's would also be appreciated.

I know u can use an SD memory Card to save files for the Wii. At IGN it says you might be a able to use an external USB hard drive and that most go for under $100. i wanna know if an external USB hard drive is the same thing as a flash drive. In middle scholl my teacher told us to by some instead of floppy disks and the flash drive has the USB thing so you can plug into comuters and stuff and save videos pictures and stuff.......the Wii has USB slots so is an external USB hard drive the same as a flash drive and can u save games on to a flash drive?

I want to buy an additional 1GB of RAM. I already have a single stick of 512 GB Kingston ddr400 in one slot. There are 3 slots that will take ddr, but I think only 2 will work in dual channel mode with the ddr 400. Also, I want to buy a stick of 1Gb to run alongside my 512 mb stick, and I wonder if there would be any problems with that setup.

I have never used any video editing software and was going to start by trying to use windows movie maker. I don't know how to connect the vcr to the pc. Is there a standard usb to av wire connection cable that I need for windows to recognize my vcr or camcorder. It is an analog camcorder. Is it better to buy different software that comes with the physical connection hardware? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm interested in transferring analog video from vcr/camcorder to dvd and also editing (making highlights from transferred video).
