    8500LE & Photoshop, want to hook up two CRTs to it...what do I need?

    In looking into the 8500le further, I see several manufacturers don't support that. I guess I'll have to look into another card for dual monitor support. I was hoping the 8500le would work, since I've seen some good comments about it concerning gaming also. Any other recommendations or a...

    8500LE & Photoshop, want to hook up two CRTs to it...what do I need?

    I would like to use two monitors when using Photoshop. Can I do this with the ATI 8500LE 64 card? I looked at a picture of the card and the two monitor connectors are different types, I "assume" I just need an adapter to make the second one a VGA type, is that right? Also, do I need to do...

    Should I upgrade......your advice???

    I have a Radeon 7000....should I update it if my budget is only $80? If so, what would you recommend? Or should I save my money and wait until I can afford more money, like something in the $150 range, to make it worthwhile? Thanks for some guidance!!!!

    Can I safely copy two seperate hard drives onto one new hard drive?

    Yes, the new 40 gig drive is going into the same computer, replacing the two smaller drives. The new 40 gig drive needs to include the operating system. Here's my plan of attack: 1.Format the 40 gig drive into two 20 gig partitions 2. Use Ghost to copy the old C: drive into the new C...

    Can I safely copy two seperate hard drives onto one new hard drive?

    The drives are on my wife's PC, so I'm not sure if she loaded or assigned any programs/data to the D: that may be referenced from the C: drive. So my basic assumption was to keep the new 40gig driving looking like the existing two seperate physical drives. That way I avoid any problems later if...

    Software to send "instant messages" on my LAN

    Is there any software, I'd prefer shareware/freeware, that I can use to send messages on my LAN. I'm running Win98SE with four computers at my house. I'd like to be able to send messages directly from one PC to another. Anyone doing this or can offer some suggestions??? Thanks!!!
