    EIDE means enhanced IDE (commonly called ATA-2). It supports larger disk volumes and faster data transfers, among other things. ATA-2 is backward compatible with standard IDE drives.

    Thats because you do!

    Outlook Express is just an email client, Outlook is a lot more.

    What does outlook do that outlook express doesnt?? Can you use outlook express for retreving emails from an NTL email account?

    If your ntl email is POP3 (probably is) then it'll work fine with Outlook Express. Outlook is catered more for the business user I guess more integrated with IE and such has a lot of different tools. This will help you figure out which is better for you.
