My s key is broken and until I can get it replaced, it takes me twice as long to type. Short of using the on-screen keyboard, what could i do?

It will work fine then freeze, then like a few minutes later it will move again, then freeze! It has fresh batteries. I am so annoyed, I can't do anything! It's frozen as I am writting this.And when it does move it moves like an inch then freezes. I even ran a virus scan, no viruses! And when it is not frozen it takes forever to click on something and get it to work!

I've been talking to my friends and looking up the internet for the past days, because I've heard that there's such thing as an external video card. In any case, does anybody know anything about this stuff, like are there really such video cards? If anybody has some links, please post them, it would be helpful. Thanks.

P.S. Does anybody know where to buy them?

There's something that I want to know. There are several different models of video cards and two major brands (ATI and nVidia). The thing I want to know is, what do the letters after the model number mean? For example, my old graphics card is an nVidia GeForce 6800 XT. What does the XT mean? I've seen several cards with the same model number BUT the letters at the end are different. I've seen XT, GS, GTX, etc. Which are better? What is the difference and what do they mean?

I have a computer with a small hard drive (15 gig) and I want to add a second hard drive for all my program files (200 gig);
I would like to leave the OS on the small HD for a (I think) faster/cleaner OS. After I add the second HD, how can I stop the installation and file saving on the "small OS" drive. Can I just change the letter designation in the disk management utility, or do I have to manually target each program install and file save?
