On a Dell C600 Latitude laptop computer, are the 2 PCI slots side-by-side or on top of each other?

Depends what you mean.. If you mean PCMCIA slots - there's only one.  There's two SODIMM memory slots and one MiniPCI slot that is usually populated by the wireless card.

There is only 1 opportunity. a 2nd hard drive can only be installed in place of your dvd/cd rom drive. for that reason you need a "Latitude Caddy Module 2nd hard drive" for C640. this is a case that looks like the one of the dvd/cd drive.\n\nIn this caddy you build in the hard drive and put it in your pc. the drive will be recognised automatically by the operating system.\n\nSuch caddies can you find on ebay.\n\nIn case you want to install a big HD (80, 100 or 120 GB), be aware that you eventually have to upgrade the BIOS. These upgrades can be found on the Dell homepage.\n\n------\n\nAnother solution would be, you buy a 2.5" USB case and use the 2nd HD externally. But this makes little sense, because the USB interface of the C640 is a v1.1 and therefore the disk would be very slow. The speed can be increased, if you use a USB 2.0 PCMCIA adapter card (it's about 6 times faster than USB 1.1. It's not 40 times faster like many vendor promise - i'm using such a configuration).

The difference is one will not fit in the other. You need to find out what your motherboard takes and that is what you want to get. If you own a Dell or a store bought computer like that then their web page should get you straght as to what to get. Yes it does matter what you put in the damn slot and can mean improving your computers speed or slowing it down, even if you are adding more RAM. Just a little note, 2 gigs of Ram is a good idea espically if you plan to upgrade to Vista after it is released.

NO! Infact, I doubt that you would find anymore PCI graphics cards in stores like Best Buy or Circuit City.  A very breif list of graphics card slots in order of appearance:\n\n1.PCI graphics slot (Phased out)\n2.AGP graphics slot, 4x to 16x (Phasing out)\n3.PCI-Express graphics slot (Recently introduced)\n\nAlso, each slot has a different design.  So you can't place a card for one type of slot in a different type.  It won't fit, making it physicaly impossible without cutting and grinding (damaging the card beyond repair)

Nope.  This is like putting a square peg in a round hole. \n\nLook for a PCI video card.\n\nIf you get a new motherboard that has a AGP slot, make sure that you know what you are looking at.   The old AGP boards and old AGP slots are different than the new 4X and 8X AGP slots.   Again, it's like Apples and Oranges.

With a crowbar and a BFH:D Go to www.dell.com/support and search for the manual for the 4600 - one of them will show you how to do it. They can be a PAIN to get open.

I don't think you can since most video cards are located on the mother board of the laptop/notebook. You would need to purchase a whole new notebook to do so...\n\nBut this is just a guess since I have never owned a notebook...

Which model of computer do you have?  If you're comfortable opening your computer, the top expansion card slot would be where your AGP port is located.  Normally, they are brown, but not always.  An AGP port is always further away from the back of the case than the PCI ports.\n\nThis picture is a pretty good example.\nhttp://www.hardwarelux.de/Images/Shuttle/AK37GTR/10140015.jpg\n\nIf you're not sure, just let us know which computer you have and I'm sure somebody can find out for you.

Support.dell.com has diagrams of the components, but they will not give you the design plans (which is what I think you are looking for)

A new motherboard will almost certainly cost less than a PCI-to-PCI adapter - and anyhow, where would the cards physically go?\n\nYou also may wish to consider using USB or Firewire/1394 peripherals instead of using PCI cards.

Are they still mounted in their cases? If so, and if both PCs have standard network connections, it should be possible to link them using a Cat 5e crossover network cable. XP has the software for this built in. It may be necessary to find a driver for the 98 machine. \nThe RS232 link between them is also a possibility but this will be extremely slow and will not allow the same level of resource sharing as a network link. \n\nIf the motherboards are not in their cases then I doubt that joining them is a possible option.

Take the side cover off and look.\nDo you have a Video expansion slot?\nIf so, it is AGP or PCI-e?\nA lot of the cheaper boards do not have a video slot.\nIf you have a regular PCI slot open, you would need to buy a card that fits the slot.

First you must have Windows 98 SE or higher.  For Windows 2000 you must have service pack 3 or higher installed (right-click My Computer -> Properties).\n\nIf it's a desktop, purchase a USB 2.0 PCI card.  Remove the case cover, remove the faceplate behind any PCI slot, insert the card, and replace the retaining screw.  PCI slots are usually white with a divider about 2/3 of the way back from the faceplate.\n\nFor laptops, purchase a USB PCCard (or PCMCIA).  Insert into the PCCard slot (usually on the side).\n\nVoila, USB 2.0.

According to the specs, no AGP slot. My friend had a fairly new Dell that did not have one either. YOu are stuck with PCI which wouldn't be much of an upgrade.\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_Dimension_4600/4507-3118_7-30529709.html

This is the best and easiest way to install a USB 2.0 PCI card on computer\n\n1. Switch off your computer.\n2. Open the Cabinet (CPU) by screwing out the screws.\n3. On the mother board you will find a white or cream coloured slot there you can fix your card.\n4. switch on your computer.\n5. Computer will automatically install your new hardware.\n\n(if not,  go    start--->settings--->control panel    there you will find a option add and remove hardware. you can install your hardware easily.)\n\nfor further information call   +91-9414628769 or E-Mail- pankaj9414628769@yahoo.com
