Guest Zen Posted October 9, 2001 Posted October 9, 2001 The Cd writer isn't a problem i think.... just don't buy the most expensive (waste of money), and not the cheapest either.. Compare writers .. don't listen to what people on the forum suggest in total blindness. the only significant differences between writers are their Speed.... not that they draw some sort of "better quality".. it's the CD-R's wich you buy who shows quality! So i suggest u buy something like 8/4 writespin is good.. and check it got a fairly good normal Spin too, so you can use it for other purposes too, and not only writing! Shouldn't be too expensive! As for motherboardz.... try go into a GOOD computerstore and ask them! they could show you the ropes wish you well on your journey! Quote
Guest mkay11...... Posted October 9, 2001 Posted October 9, 2001 been checking some sites and have been speaking to a friend looks like the asus a7a 266 with amd athlon 1.4ghz.... thanks zen...... Quote
Guest akindo Posted October 9, 2001 Posted October 9, 2001 Plextor produce some of the best CD-R writers. Also good ones are Teac and Yamaha. Quote
Guest mkay11...... Posted October 9, 2001 Posted October 9, 2001 yes at the moment it is between tdk velo or plextor....... Quote
Guest Zhoro Posted October 11, 2001 Posted October 11, 2001 I have the TDK Velo 24X10X40. Very happy with it - burns a CD in about 4 min. Quote
Guest Mike Indidginus Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 I'm with Akindo - I've got a Plextor 16/10/40 and it's superb. No complaints from me Quote
