A few days ago I bought a LITEON DVD + R+RW from Best Buy for $80 after a $50 mail-in rebate. LITEON has a good rep for CD burners, so I acted on this one hoping their quality followed through on the DVD burners. It writes DVDs at 4X and requires a 450mhz and runs on 98SE thru XP.

I didn't get a chance to install it (too busy putting together an Air-Hockey table for a Christmas present) yet but I will over the weekend. Many of the sales reps at the local Best Buy purchased this unit and love it.

Dale,

It was either OfficeMax or Staples -- one was $89 and one was 79. Can't
even remember the brand-name on the box, but it is an NEC-1300 drive. Works
flawlessly.

98SE should be fine and I would think 800Mhz would be OK. Just watch the
Sunday ads. I haven't paid for CD-R blanks in years (free with rebate).
OfficeMax even had DVD+R blanks (10 with slim jewel cases) free with rebate
recently. That was a first.

I bought a nice multi-format burner a few weeks ago for $79.


$119 with rebates was the best I'd seen storefront retail. Can you share

where
you got yours? Would it run on WIN98SE? 800MHZ meet the minimal

requirements?

Thanks, Dale
