Two Different PCI Slots? by
Anonymous
Hi
I recently purchased a new ATI Radeon 9250 PCI Video card for my PC but the
PCI slot is a different configuration than the ones in my PC. I don't get

New hard drive by
[email protected]
I recently purchased a new hard drive, 250GB. I already have a 30GB
installed which is formatted with Fat32, when installing the new drive
I was wondering if I should format this with NTFS or Fat32, or even
convert both to NTFS if its better.
Any advice would be great.
