Should I be able to mix 2 x SATA 3 drives (Hitachi 500GB) and SATA 1.5
drives?
The 2 x SATA 1.5 drives are Maxtor 300GB model 6B300S0, codes BANC1G10 and

Periodically looses SATA and reports it as hardware failure and windows

I want to get a new ASUS m-board for newer dual core but want to be
able to use my Northwood P-4 2.53 ghz until I can afford/decide which

I took my computer out of storage and now have no sound (There's a
prosumer soundcard, the M-Audio Delta66, installed). The cable from my
CD/DVD driver came loose, and I'm sure where it goes -- does it plug
into the motherboard or the soundcard? The card doesn't seem to have a

Can anyone identify a brand name NEC Chipset 4 port USB2 PCI card that
i can buy at Newegg.com or Zipzoomfly.com?  I need two in order to help

Deluxe and P4B533-E motherboard based computers.
