to purchasing a motherboard and how exactly are the front usb ports

screen, a 100MB HDD, Floppy and a slow 386 M/B. Is there a late M/B that will swap in and/or HHD?

Everyone says faster is better, but PC3200 ain't .. by
cawdam
PC3200 is supposed to scoot at 400MHz, but my Nvidia Force 2
motherboard balks. Could this be because the the memory is
CL3 .. or that the Nvidia chip set has problems with driving
2 double sided dimms ?? Or is there a bus problem between
AGP and mem.
In any case, I was very disappointed..

File Recovery Utility? by
John
Is there a free or cheap file recovery utility that will fit on a boot
floppy?
The cheapest one that I have found costs $49.95, and I think that's a bit
steep.

Does a Firewire 800 PCI card make sense in a 32-bit PCI slot? by
@drian
The subject says it all. I'm under the impression that Firewire 800 only
works at full speed in a 64-bit slot. If I'm right and it's used in a
32-bit slot, what's the point paying the extra money for a speed you'll
never achieve in a 32-bit slot?
I'm looking at this...
