I probably will get a 9800pro if I can get it for the same price as a 9700 pro by the time I am building this computer. I might get XP pro IF it is worth it. Is it? |

| 186718 | 2003-10-28 04:10:00 | As I said before, can anyone recommend any good CD-Rom drives? I don't need DVD drives or anything, just a cd-rom drive and a cd-writer. | Wilky (776) | ||
| 186719 | 2003-10-28 04:52:00 | Have you thought of getting a DVD writer;) My BTC writer has been good(cdr). |

There have been quite a few posts on this in the past. Some brands mentioned have been Lite-On and Asus for writers as well as CD-ROM drives. Sony have good CD-ROM drives also. |

| 186722 | 2003-10-28 06:33:00 | Forgot to mention that it would pay to investigate what software the writer comes with. Nero appears to be the most popular. | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
| 186723 | 2003-10-28 06:49:00 | Win 98 doesn't support hyperthreading. Your monitor is pretty low-end, and so is your CD-writer. Agree with SY and get at least 1gig if not 2 gigs DDR. Lo. |

| 186724 | 2003-10-28 07:19:00 | nice system however u will find your getting outta the 'bang for buck' range. you should really go for a system that cost around $3000 to get a good balance of price and performance. for the internet maybe consider an ADSL modem? instead of windows XP you could use Windows 2000. Windows XP is just a graphical extension of Win2k (which is an upgrade on Win NT). Maybe you should price the same specs on an AMD system... 3000+ Barton w/ Epox mobo. With if u really want speed u could get two 60's (or wht ever) and set them to Raid. |
