When is it most important to know the speed of memory?
It is the speed of your processor, that you need to know. It would be the size of your memory that is important. For both of those things, it is important to know them when you have a particular piece of software to run or work to be done that needs a minimum level of processor speed and memory size to work properly.

Is there a Windows laptop available that has stereo audio input?
Real simple. Buy a USB head set. this will allow you to have a digital vs. analog audio which is much more desirable. If you by a headset with a mic it will also allow you to record audio with the ability to edit more quickly and easily with less static or the chance of the analog connector being damaged.
Answer
Yes! all of them do! go to radio shack to find the part to connect it to your laptop.
Answer
If you find a laptop with stereo audio input, I'll buy it too: as far as I can tell they all have only mono input. One way around this is to buy a USB audio adapter price around $100
Answer
Some do, but most don't. If a laptop has only 2 audio jacks, they're usually a stereo line output and a mono microphone input (mono only because a microphone normally has a mono plug; the input goes to both channels of the sound card). But if it has 3 audio jacks, that 3rd one is usually a stereo line input. Toshiba and Ac er are two brands I know of that often have a line input jack. I've heard rumors that built in sound cards in laptops have poor audio quality. I don't know if that's true (I probably wouldn't be able to tell, anyway), but maybe that's why a lot of them don't bother with a line input. So if high sound quality is important to you, and compactness isn't, then you might end up buying the external USB sound card even if you get a laptop with 3 inputs. One example of an external USB sound card is Creative Labs "Sound blaster Live!" ($45 at Tiger Direct). I have the older, lower sound quality model that preceded it, and I like it a lot. I use it to record mp3 files from my old Lap's.
ANSWER
Toshiba laptops
I have a Toshiba Satellite M65-S9092, and I really like it. It has 1 Firewire port, and I have no problems with my computer. You can add a firewire port to your computer if it has a PCMCIA card slot. Just search for 'PCMCIA firewire card' and you will find a bunch of them online or you can get one from your local computer electronics store.
Most newer computers have them built in but it will depend entierly on the model#
ALL Apple Macs have built-in Firewire, as well as built-in software to edit movies (iMovie) and burn DVDs (iDVD). Side note: Firewire is an Apple-developed technology, but it is an IEEE standard (IEEE 1394), also known by its standard designation and other names, including i.Link (Sony).
You can also use a video transfer service to convert your miniDV tapes to DVD. StashSpace.Com has a free software you can use to import video from your miniDV camera onto your computer yourself with a firewire cable. Or you can send them your tapes and they will transfer them for you. Costs $7 per tape.

Is the Dell Xps 8500 or the Hp Envy H8 a better computer for gaming?
They're both bad in GPU power wise. Both computers aren't even meant for gaming. They're mostly for work, not play. They rely heavily on CPU, not GPU power
I'd go for the Dell Xps 8500 if I had to choose. Only because its CPU is really good, it's GPU is complete garbage though, and the HP Envy has nothing going for it.
If you want a prebuilt gaming PC just choose something like Digital Storm, Alienware, or something similar.
How do you know if you want ATA 100 or ATA 300 in a hard drive?
The first place to look for that solution is the motherboard. Either search to see specifications by entering the model of the board you have of simply find the answer in the mother board manual. If you have a system from a manufacturer and are adding the second hard drive to an existing system, then the hard drive you currently are using can lead you to the type of acceptable drive.
