I've decided to buy an LG GSA-4163 or GSA-4165 writer because they can both read and write to DVD RAM. I can't decide which one because the specs look identical to me and the prices are pretty close too, but apparently I need a hotter CPU than my current PIII 550. RAM is not an issue, I have heaps of that.

I figure that this might be the case for processing video etc, but at present all I want to do with it is write back-up data DVDs. Video won't be happening around here until I get my new computer sometime in the next few months.

Am I correct in assuming that I can write data DVDs with a much lower spec PC that is required for video work? I don't even want to play video DVDs with this set-up, that's why I have a DVD player and TV.

Cheers
