I recently purchased an external hard disk (Seagate 500GB eSata). It does not support USB or firewire. The box says that it needs to be connected to PCI 2.2 or higher card slot. So, how can I connect it to my laptop. Is there a particular laptop card available, or eSata to Firewire connector. Thanks in advance!

Right now I am using a Sony VAIO desktop with a 3.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor. I'm considering buying a macbook for the upcoming school year. The macbooks have a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Speedwise, what is the comparison between the two processors?

Thanks :)

OK, here's my story-one day, when I booted up the computer, it didn't recignize the hard drive. Many days later, I wiggled the cable, and got it function. Unfortunaltely, it can't boot windows because just as the computer is about to end the loading, it reboots.

Even if it can differentiate between just 2 colors wud be sufficient. I need to capture data from a monitor using photodiodes for processing in an 8051 microcontroller. Any other suggestion for data stream capture wud be greatly appreciated. And please specify any special photodiodes if used.

I installed xp pro sp 2 that was somebody elses cd. I had a xp pro cd key, but my copy of xp was really old, and i didnt feel like downloading sp2. I finally noticed that the sp2 cd was oem and my old xp cd was retail so the keys wouldnt match. So i put my xp cd in and reinstalled windows, im pretty sure i deleted that sp2 partition. I run windows now prefectly. But i am missing about 100 gb of my harddrive space. I bought a 250 GB WD drive, and now it only says my drive is 127 GB? Maybe i didnt delete my old partition? help please!!!!

Hi I just bought a brand new Sapphire AGP 8x 1950 pro 512mb video card. I have an Ultra Xconnect 500 watt PSU. I took one of the fans out of the PSU a long time ago. (way before getting the graphics card yesterday). Is it possible the PSU is over heating? or does the PSU just not have enough power for the card? or is it most likley not the card or the PSU? the last card I had wouldn't ever crash but it was a 5900xt which is achient now. Ive tried reinstalling the drivers and what not and my computer crashes in any/every game. theres also corruption on the screen. do I have to get it RMA'd?

my computer just shut off and i felt the case and it was HOT, ive had my computer shut off b4 due to overheating cuz my mobo got some program to shut it off if CPU gets too hot. I look down to see that the power light is still green but everything else is off, so i hold it down for ten seconds to shut it off. Then i waited, every hour i tried to turn it back on but it wont and the case is pretty cold. however everytime i try to turn it on the powersupply side of the case (on top in the back)is warm while the opposite side is pretty cold. Please tell me how to fix it do i need a new powersupply? this happened like 2 days ago

im gonna build a new comuter soon and im wondering if i should get an intel x6800, a Q66000 or wait for the 45nm Penryn intel cpu's to come out later this year. I know on july 22nd the x6800 will be half the price it is right now and same for q6600. Whats the difference between q6600 and x6800, and if its just clockspeed, cant i just overclock thee q6600?
And also whats so new about the penryn besides the die shrink and will the performance boost be real dramatic?
And also what about amd's barcelona processors coming out, what do u think about those?
The restriction is that i dont want to pay more than $500 for the processor though. Im going to use it for 3d rendering and pc gaming.
Thanx for the help.

when i run 3d 06, it always crashes on the 3rd test with the water monster thing whilst on the load screen. sometimes i get an nv4 dll error but most of the time it just sits at the frozen stage. im running two 7600's in sli and when using one card it works fine, and ive swapped both cards round to check they aint faulty. 3d 05 and 03 work fine, as do all my games so why 06? i have the 93.71 driver, 500w psu, 4200 x2, 2gb ram. any ideas?? or does 3d 06 just not do sli!

i just got another geforce 8500 gt video card to install in my pc that i built. i have a pentuim d 3.4 gh dual core, 3 gigs of pc5300 ram, an asus sli motherboard. after i installed the other video card i started getting problems with my pc shutting down or giving me a blue screen of death before restarting. i thought that it might be the new video card so i uninstalled it and tried the one that i had installed originally. same thing happens! the pc just restarts when it goes into windows. i have also tried to reinstall windows but after rebooting into a fresh copy of windows xp it does the same thing. my power supply worked fine before trying to install the second video card so thats why i think i might have burnt it out somehow. the power supply was a 500w that had a bunch if connections. i think i might have gotten a power supply that doesn't support an sli setup. i later looked on the box of the power supply and it didn't say anything about being sli compatible.
