Using a SATA HDD on an old system

So I want to add a SATA drive for some extra DVR storage, but my mobo only has PATA. It is pretty old, doesn't even have PCIe. Looking for the cheapest method that doesn't severely compromise speed. I'll probably upgrade the system and keep this HDD in the next year.

BOSE AM3 Speakers 30% off- $199.99

I had the same thought. You can get used promedias for much less than the $199 that these go for. In fact, you can probably get used 4.1 (what I currently use) or 5.1 Promedias for around this price I cannot imagine that these speakers are the best that $199 can buy. /crap

Hikers-Got Bridgedale?

I think the appeal of hiking socks is as follows: 1) They have good cushioning 2) They hold their loft or cushion after many uses/washes 3) They keep your feet warmer 4) They are made of wool or wool blends, so they stay drier 5) They are less ugly (depending on your opinion) 6) They...

The keyboard thing looks like it is solved by an on-screen touchpad-like keyboard. or you can use a stylus like a PDA. I kind of want one. I'm kind of annoyed by the limitations of my new ipaq pda, and hate laptops for their crappy battery life, bulk, and slow boot times. I think this is...

Just upgraded to Firefox 1.5 - It won't open!!

I think firefox gets super unhappy when you try and install new versions on top of existing ones. My problem was solved by uninstalling firefox, deleting my profile, deleting the firefox folder, rebooting and re-installing. I still love firefox though

the funny thing is, the two are exactly the same in physical nature. So any cases, add on cards, or what have you that will fit for the newer model will work with the older one.

Azureus users: getting rid of error messages?

How do I stop Azureus from making those annoying pop-up error messages on the lower right hand side of my screen? The obvious answer would be to fix the error, but I don't want to diagnose that since the program works fine right now.
