New PC. Have few questions (SATA,RAM,VIdeo Card)
. I was too happy I just bought it. I never owned a 64-bit, so I'm a bit weary. I just want to make sure I got the right PC before the 14 return policy 
.My Questions:
- Can I upgrade the 4gb to 8gb? The manual says I can put 8GB, But SIW say max is 4096 MB. I thought I read that a 64-bit can go up to 8GB?
- Is there a way to hook up my old hard drive (IDE) to the new one PC (SATA) to transfer my files?If it sounds like I dont know what I'm talking about, well I don't. I've read you can either use IDE or SATA, but not both at the same time. I'm just trying to figure a way to get my files out into the new PC. The old one is dead (motherboard issue).
- Is it possible to add a external Video Card? check the Pic. Is that a AGP slot? I couldn't find this in the manual.
- It says it comes with firewire, but the specs below says not detected? Does this mean I don't, or just not active?
