Replacing The CDRW On Compaq?
I have a Compaq 7598 PIII 600Mhz
It has a CD ROM drive and a CDRW The CDRW needs to be replaced and was wondering if it might be a problem if I replaced it with a faster burner which also can read (not write) DVD. The current one can only write at 4x. Or would it be better to try to get a cheap burner that's similiar to what I have? Would this one work? http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...dwt=22082&sp=1 or this with a DVD http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...dwt=22082&sp=1 |

Most any drive will work, but the 600MHz processor speed may impose a limit on
the speed at which a CD can be burned, maybe 16x or so...
