Hi, just 2 questions here. The first is about the wireless PCMCIA/Cardbus adapters, do you just plug it into the notebook and then it can support wireless internet access with a router? The second, i wanted to hook up the notebook to a tv so that it displays what is on the notebook screen, would a USB TV Tuner do the trick?

you should have a video out that can connect to your tv...but one thing is that tv cannot display text sharply.

ah yes, the s-video, so would s-video "Monster" brand cables perform better than regular s-video cables or are they just expensive POS?

well i've never tried those cables before. i just use normal s-video cables. maybe they'd do some good if the cable was unusually long but don't take my word for it cos i've never tried it.

perhaps, but I've found that even composite RCA cables are sometimes higher quality than S-Video. I only use one S-Video cable, otherwise RCAs work just fine for me, and there is absolutely no noticable difference as far as I'm concerned.

composite are those with audio cables together right? i've tried both s-video and composite on my tv and it doesnt show any difference. my notebook doesnt have composite though

Yeah, that's rite - I keep forgetting that most notebooks don't hav both Composite, S-video and S/PDIF altogether.
