    so its time to upgrade!

    Not quite that random. If you have a camcorder, you'll need firewire in which case you'll likely want a board with onboard firewire given at most you now get 3 PCI slots.

    hard drive question

    Easier way to do what? Once you verified all the files you want are on the 2nd drive, just highlight them, Right Click and Delete them. It sounds like you did a copy/paste rather than cut/paste which is why they're still on your C drive. On the other hand, copy/paste and then delete the...

    so its time to upgrade!

    What is your budget and how will you use the machine? Will you seriously overclock? Do you have a camcorder?

    Unable to send emails through Thunderbird

    Pretty certain it's the Outgoing Address (SMPT) settings under Account Settings. I'd suggest you go to the Support Section of your ISP and see what the SMPT is supposed to be. Most of the time it's smtp-server. and it's what follows the . that seems to vary from ISP to ISP. You could also...

    First Build - BSOD

    I just ran into this problem and it was a bad CPU. Before I'd send the CPU back, I'd pull everything out including the mobo, male sure all the standoffs are in and there are none in you don't need, then hook up the video card with the mbo out of the case. Then put he mobo in and check one item...

    Hard drive won't allow boot ...

    If you haven't done so, download the diagnostic/repair software from the hd web site. Put the software onto a Floppy, put the drive into the computer and boot to the Floopy. If you can't fix the problem, you should at least find out what's going on and reformat the drive, which often fixes...

    What if GOP has very high turnout and still loses?

    Win or lose the GOP moderates are likely to gain significant power within the Party. If you look at specific races for both federal and state, your seeing a lot of politicians that pander to the right (evangelicals, social conservatives), e.g., Ken Blackwell running for Ohio governor, are...

    any way to password protect a specific folder

    I think most compression software like winzip will let you password protect the zipped file, of course you'd have to delete the noncompressed file.
