| 352307 | 2005-05-05 08:47:00 | I am running Windows98SE on my laptop, Pentiumlll 650MHz, 320 Mb Memory, 20 Gb hard drive. I'm advised that 650MHz is on the low side but I can't do anything about that (or can I?). Will I have probs. running an external DVD burner? I'm not all that concerned about speed. Any experience, comments etc. will be appreciated. Regards Martynz |

| 352308 | 2005-05-05 08:53:00 | 650mhz with 320mb ram is a rocket ship for Win98. External burner should be fine, presuming you have USB. Tip of teh day, Don't eat rice over your keyboard, Im having a devil of a time getting it out |

I thought I read somewhere you have a greater chance of coasters with the slower USB speed? |

I thought I read somewhere you have a greater chance of coasters with the slower USB speed? I would think you would need at least usb2 or firewire |

| 352312 | 2005-05-05 09:59:00 | Thanks for the replies so far. Forgot to mention that although I've only got USB1.1 installed, I'm going to buy a 2.0 card. Martynz |

| 352313 | 2005-05-05 10:20:00 | if at all possible go for an internal. externals cost more and can be problematic. | tweak'e (69) | ||
