In your case... I would consider a 64bit Athlon and a new motherboard... perhaps something like a K8T890 chipset or something... then you'll be forced to upgrade your video card too..hehe.
Or get a SCSI hard drive..that'll dramatically increase performance visually.
But the answer you're...
Ghost is good, I use acronis true image v8 which does an image or copy in less time than Ghost. Works great. Ghost and Acronis are best choice and cheap.

I thought I heard someone say he wouldn't touch the ultra with his dick? or was it a stick? hehe. Personally, I use the Antec Neopower 480W. Forget the Ultra... I hear lots of bad stuff about them.
Altho, as pretty as it is, I haven't used it myself.

An all round good power supply would be the Neopower 480Watt with Active PFC. Modular design too so just connect the cables you need. I like the active PFC, saves on your power bill, creates a more efficient power supply too.

939 has better memory management (Dual-DDR is typical)
I have the A8V Asus board..and it screams. I couldn't wait for the nforce4 boards to mature so, maybe I'll wait a bit longer :-)

Check around there... all sorts of people are making their own goofy cases for these things. They are small for embedded devices... pretty cool huh? I wish i had one. Either way... they are quiet too, no fans required... chip prolly takes about 5 watts... give or take... and that's the idea...
I haven't used it. Lots of the noise I hear from my PC is the exhaust fan in the back PSU. Once I switch to the new Neopower 480W with the 12cm fan, I would expect it to be more quiet too. I hope the foam doesn't increase case temperture.

A hanging cable won't work... the drag of it would send the satellite tumbling to earth. I think people were theorizing an elevator physically connected to earth to bring items up to orbit. Can't imagine myself... would be an incredibly strong tower... not in your lifetime ;-)
Only problem with the Mac is that there is 100x fewer people who know how to fix them... not to mention software is more expensive. I admit, it is cute ;) I'd be tempted to have one myself... kinda like the machine you'd have in yer bedroom for researching on porno or something..lol.

Usually you end up with the capacity after you format. Fat32, NTFS... different formatting will yield different amounts of space available after formatting.

The Holographic Versatile Disc is coming (HVD) 3.9TB per 12CM disk.
Hey... Holographic storage has faster access and read speeds by far.
no reason why WinXP can't be put on ROM too (Embedded XP). It'll be a while before active components replace optical or magnetic storage economically... since..more transistors, more heat and power kind of thingie. Hard drives are economical in this decade. You can get 10G 20G ram drives...
I would assume that XP Pro will make use of Dual-core. (1 to 2 processors) If you have an application that uses threads, those threads may be executed on a second core for increased speed.
