External Hard Drive for my laptop?!?!?!?!

I am looking for an external hard drive for my laptop as it only has a 15gb internal drive....
The questions are, do i have to get the same writing speed as my laptop?, mine is 4200 and most of the other drives are 5600 or 7200 speeds, does it matter if i mix them?
Also, do i have to get a 2.5" drive or can i use whatever i like??
I really dont have a clue bout this, so any ideas would bevery welcomed and appreciated..
Many thanks
Mike

RE: Resident Evil for GameCube...

Excellent tip from ste, about getting 60hz on yer tv:
Try turning power off and holding B when you turn game on.
However your tele has to support it (usually not a prob) but your scart `rgb` lead does too. Might sound stupid but a lot of 3rd party `rgb` leads won`t actually do it. Shame about the price but the official Nintendo one gives quite a difference..

Nice one m8, works a treat!!!

RE: Overseas Suppliers of GC Games!!!!!

Have ordered the A/R from play.com, and on the advert it clearly states that it will play imported games
Quote;
`only Action Replay can unlock the secrets that no game programmer wants you to discover! Action Replay even lets you play import games on your GameCube, and is fully updateable with exclusive new codes for the latest titles. Remember - only Action Replay has the power to bust open even the toughest games.` Unquote....
Now does that mean it will play imported PAL versions(ie from Oz) or will it actually play US/JAP versions i don`t know!!!!
Interesting point!!!!
I have been a customer of dvdBO for a couple of years but they are a bit unreliable at times as well as bl**dy slow..
So was just asking if any1 had any other good sites they could reccomend..
Thanks for the comments already guys

Overseas Suppliers of GC Games!!!!!

RE: This is way off topic but...

You dont know how right you are.... 26k wow.....

RE: This is way off topic but...

Good question and yes i know roughly how much self employed fitters get paid just not sure how much the employed ones get.....

This is way off topic but...

Does any1 know anybody what a floor layer ( carpet fitter/ flooring specialist etc) earns??
I am one myself with 10 years experience but am thinking i am getting the royal shaft from my boss on wages..( i`m employed f/t)
And i can`t seem to find a web site that will tell me in plain english what a f/t employed or self employed fitter should be getting paid, weekly or monthly.
Can any1 put me out of my misery...
cheers every1 :-)

RE: Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within (R1)

i agree with epyon try putting the player on region 1 only.
If not put a region 1 disc in first, wait for the film to go to menu then eject and put in ff.
This should work (don`t quote me tho)
good luck...

RE: Whats up with Play???

When tried again explorer told me that the certificate had expired and did i wish to carry on...(or something like that!)

RE: Playstation 2 Price drop?

Or is it just me! I-)
