so i am starting to run out of HD space on my older computer and need to put another HD in it but i only have 2 SATA plugs one is taken by my dvd drive the other is taken by my sec HD (main one with windows on it is IDE ) and i was wondering in the PCI to SATA cards are any good do they slow the HD down at all? what should i look out for.
second i am planing on using this as my sever soon because it is getting to the point if i ever want to game with it i would have to kill my self so i want to pug this in to my TV because i have a lot of AVI movie files and am having the hardest time trying to burn them to CDs so i just want to watch them through my TV coming from my computer. so i am looking for some sort of video card that is AGP (< it think that is what it is called) to watch stuff on my TV with out having to worry about any resolution problems.
thanks and sorry for the long read
