Can I do esata to sata with my external?

I realized I bought the wrong damn PCI card last night, I got a sata PCI card instead of an E-sata card. Can I just run to radioshack and get a E-sata to sata cable and be good? Or does everything have to be E-sata?that standard is truly idiotic. its the same cable just a [...]

searching for days v. wireless gaming with vista

vistas wireless management system blows ass similarly to XPs… except nobody seems to have made a wireless management program that works in vista to fix it. so every 60 seconds or so in COD i get a huge lag spike and connection interrupted. (for the record this doesnt happen when hardwired)
