Dvd-r

Hey, another post in the Hardware forums for me lol, which means, another question about hardware! :D

Ok, so here's the deal, I'm going to buy a DVD-RW drive (specifically this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106988 [I love newegg]). However, as you can see the burn speed is 16x, and the minimum system requirements is a P4 1.4GHz proccessor, I have a P3 567MHz..My question is, will I still be able to burn at slower speeds?

OK, im just guessimating/assuming here but on the manufactuers website they said their DVD burner is compatilble with 98SE,ME,2000,XP. So, I dont even think the P4 was out when they had 98... that should mean that it will run with the lower specs that you have... do you understand or am i clear as mud?

Sounds reasonable, guess I'll buy it :p thanks :)

Keep in mind that if it doesn't work you can always claim that it was broke en-route and then when they offer to exchange it just say that you couldn't wait and had to end up going out and getting it from "enter store name here".

I would assume that the specs are based towards the 16 bit aspect of the OS .......
therefore I would also suspect that if it says it needs a 1.4GHz as a MINIMUM, then a PIII 600 just aint gonna cut it .........

so if you DO buy it, you might need to bookmark JI's post :p :)

lmao
