1. Need to open your case. Screws are usually in the back or sometimes in the front depending on your case type. \n2. Slide the panel off the side of the case so you can see all the parts and hardware in the computer\n3. Locate the PCI sockets. They will be short (usually white) sockets located towards the rear of the computer. \n4. Gently but firmly, line up the card with the socket and push down (but don't force). If it does not go in easily, then something is wrong. Make sure the silver medal bracket on the card is facing the back of the PC.\n5. Put the case back on\n6. Boot up windows and it should detect your new hardware. You may need to install drivers to make it work

use firewire if your camera supports it. otherwise, check with the camera's manufacturer to see if it has drivers for it.

There are converters out there, though I've never had to look for one.  I'm sure of you search on pricewatch.com or google, you should find something.  I know they exist.\n\nHave you already purchased the drive?  Obviously if you haven't, I hope you know that you have nothing to gain by doing so.\n\nAlso, you could add a PCI SATA card to your system to save a spot on your IDE channels.  Realize that a PCI SATA card does not perform as well as a dedicated SATA port on a motherboard since it has to share bandwidth with other PCI devices.\n\nLots of options here.....need more info

WELL TRY THE XVX ROUTER INTO THE UBILONG CABLE..THEN PROCEED A PRIMARY HOOK UP OF THE BT VIA THE HOX UNIT..FOLLOWED BY ROUTING THE LINUX INTO YOUR FX CARD. VOILA!

yes, the plextor ConvertX should work for you if you want to use the USB rather than firewire.\nOtherwise there is the Canopus ADVC-110 which supports firewire 400.

The card probably just needs drivers that aren't included with XP.  Just run the CD which came with the card, or download the driver installation files from the manufacturer and run that...

You need a video card with two outputs. After installing the card's driver, you need to extend the Windows Desktop to both screens (in Control Panel).

if your computer doesn't have a wireless card, go pick up a wireless  usb adapter.  it's a lot easier to set up than opening your computer and installing a pci card.\n\nhere is an example.\n\nBelkin Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter \nModel: F5D7050\nit goes for about $40, but you can always find a cheaper one from Fry's.

Yes, you can add one to a regular old PCI slot. They won't be good for gaming.\n\nI upgraded one of my computers with an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 PCI with 128 MB RAM, and it runs everything I need it to. And it is a Compaq, by the way.

Unless it's a laptop you're going to be struggling. You need to either:\n\nBuy a PCI - PCMCIA adapter to install on your motherboard.\n\nor\n\nBuy a PCI GPRS Wireless card.

In order to use a PCMCIA card in a desktop you need to purchase the add on card.  This can be found at either http://www.geeks.com or http://www.pricewatch.com Before ordering one, you need to make sure that your computer has an available slot.  You will be looking for a PCI slot.  If you are unsure of what this slot looks like, I have a detailed motherboard that show it at my site below under Computer Talk.  Hope this helps

I'd recommend you attach a AGP card of arounfd 256MB, something like NVidia

check here... http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic23655.html\n\nYou should be very careful not to burn your card out.  COuld be a very costly experiment if you're not careful and know what you're oding.

Yeah what that dude said. Connect them with firewire. If you hold down T on one of them when booting up it will boot as a hard drive, and appear as a drive on the other computer so you can copy stuff off it that way.

I use one USB adapter. Yes you need a Driver to install the Hardware as others do. It works almost like a PCI Wireless card. I do not prefer it coz it take my usb port, i prefer a PCI card. Networking and all is almost the same, no effect
