planning to upgrade to DVD-ROM and a DVD writer, any suggestions?
I am planning to upgrade my CD-ROM drive into a DVD drive, and my CD-writer,
a DVD-writer I have these specifications: - Intel P4 at 1.4GHz - 256 MB RDRAM - 30GB Hard Drive - Nvidia TNT2 Video card at 32MB - Intergrated Sound - 52X CD-ROM Drive - 48x write/12x re-write/50x read The reason that I'm upgrading to DVD is, I want to watch some DVD movies on my computer. The CD-ROM drive I think - quite easy to upgrade. As for the Video Card, do I need to upgrade my video card as well? If I upgrade my CD drive into a DVD drive, will I be able to read regular CD-ROMs, Audio CDs and CDs that boot automatically when I started up? Also, what is the difference between DVD+R & DVD-R and DVD+RW and DVD-RW? What brand of DVD-ROM and DVD-writer do you suggest? If you have any questions, comments and/or suggestions, please do not hesistate to do so. Thank you for your co-operation. |
