A few questions...
1. is there a way to use SO DImms in a desk top MOBO or is there a mini PC MOBO that uses them out there some where?

2. Does anyone have a site I can get the chip to convert lap top HD's to IDE cable ready?

3. Is there a name for the connectors that Laptops use for their HD's, CD drives?

4. For windows systems that come with brand name computers, I have noticed you can only intall the OS on a computer made by that brand name. Is this something that is linked to the bios or th HD formatting?
