Can anybody recommend one? What should I avoid? The problem I'm running into is that most of the DVD burners I see being sold require 2000/2003/XP and I'm running ME. Also, I have USB 1.1, so EIDE/ATAPI is the prefered interface in my case. TIA. -- Regards from John Corliss

I've been following the development of the Mac os X on PC and the leakage of the source. Some people have said they have it up and running on a intel platform. I'm just wondering if anyone has done this and if so what hardware they have used? -- Nik http://www.pc-gear.co.uk

I'm running an AthlonXP on an MSI nForce2-based motherboard. I have two Maxtor 30GB harddrives, both 7200 rpms. I have DMA enabled in the BIOS, and Windows reports that both drives are using Ultra DMA 100. However, all the tests I've run (HDTach, Sandra, Nero Drivespeed, and the built in...

I stopped the scan after some 6 hours while it was still finding more bad sectors. I live in...
