    Will a card intended for mini-PCI express work in a PCI-e x1 slot in a desktop?

    I am going nuts because my motherboard has no free PCI slots, and USB network adapters cause my computer to crash whenever I load something like azureus (I have tried for months to fix this problem but to no avail), so I was thinking of buying a PCI-e wireless network adapter, except that there...

    Time on desktop keeps rolling back one hour

    Every now and then, when I restart my computer, during bootup it changes the time to an hour before what it should be. When I go to adjust time and date (I use windows XP), I can do so, but the next time I reboot it changes. I've tried adjusting the time in BIOS also, but just the same thing...

    What do you think would be the best 1920x1200 monitor for watching high def (1080i) content? Would PVA or IPS panel-based monitors look nicer? There would be NO gaming. Thanks!

    Help me spend 3k

    If you had 3k to spend (STRICT), what laptop would you buy if you don't game? I am thinking: watching DVDs, bit-torrent, internet, etc. It's school subsidized, so it needs to be premade by a major manufacturer. I am probably going to order in the next few days. Thanks!
