    Data Back up: eSATA or USB 2.0?

    Wanted to do some automatic backups on an external drive and I wanted to know which is the prefered interface: external Sata or USB 2.0. Is it better to get an enclosure and drive seperately or do I just get an external drive?

    New Radeon 3650 and having problems playing the original Halo for the PC

    There isn't an option to disable. Its set to automatic, which I'm hoping means it disables when a video card is present
