    Install Windows XP Sevice Pack 1 before using Serial ATA ?

    I am sorry I did not mention my copy of Windows XP already has service pack 2. I take it that means I will have no problems ? I just don't see how I can install to a device that is not supposed to work until the instalation has been done.

    What happens when your motherboard battery goes dead ?

    How long do those batteries last in the motherboard and what happens when they die ? My computer's clock has been losing the correct time for the last two days and I am wondering if this is the problem.

    Questions regarding Junk E-Mails

    Thank you for the information. This reminds me of telemarketers wanting to get around the do not call list. My contention is that people who want to be on that list are not people who will buy over the phone, so why waste company time calling them ? The do not call list saves time for...

    Questions regarding Junk E-Mails

    I get about a dozen junk e-mails a day. I can't figure out why people are even sending me this garbage. For example, a lot of them are about Viagra, but in the e-mail, the spelling is wrong and it looks like it was typed by a 4 year old. Vi aGrA - Who the heck is going to send money...
