| 136412 | 2003-04-17 02:50:00 | Being a bit lazy here but I know PressF1 gives good advice, so am I correct in saying DVD speeds are faster than CDROM speeds. e.g. If I had a 16x DVD Drive and a 16x CDROM Drive the DVD Drive is faster or the same? |

| 136413 | 2003-04-17 03:29:00 | yes. a single speed DVD will push data at the same speed as a 16 speed CDrom. and a double speed DVD will push data at the speed of a 32 speed CDrom. |
