    usually (if not always) dvd burners have a seperate speed for burning CD-rs than for burning dvd discs. Im guessing at least 32x.
    there is an NEC Drive that burns at 8x DVD+/-R 4x+/-RW and 32x CD-R and 16x CD-RW and reads at 12x DVD and 40x CD for about £73 from ebuyer

    If it is IDE you will need a PCI IDE card if you want to keep both cd drives as the onboard can have a max of 4 drives (excluding the floppy)
    There are 10 types of people in the world those who understand binary and those who dont

    u may want to upgrade to at least a 350 anyway. but maybe a 450 just to be safe for future upgrades. 350 for safe side as of now for u though. my thoughts...

    Hey, any advice on which is the better PSU for my system? (specs in sig)
    Diablo 450W Dual LED ATX
    or
    Ultra 400W LED ATX
    The Diablo has more airflow (an 80mm and a 120mm as apposed to the single 120mm of the Ultra)
    The Diablo has more power
    The Diablo has more LED
    However the Ultra has more Peripheral power connectors, which I like
    Ultra:
    8 Peripheral
    1 Aux
    1 12Volt
    2 Floppy
    1 Main Power

    Diablo:
    1 Main Power
    1 AUX Power
    1 12V (P4)
    6 Peripheral
    2 Floppy
    2 Serial ATA

    Same except Diablo has 2 less peripheral, but 2 Sata??
    Which is better for my system in your opinion, I'm stuck between the two

    Q6600 @ 3.42Ghz | Gigabyte EP35-DS3R | EVGA 8800GT 721/1802/2006 w/ Accelero S1 | 4gb Crucial DDR2 @ 760mhz | 750gb Hitachi 7k1000 | Corsair 520HX | 2 x Samsung SyncMaster T240 24" | Windows 7 Ultimate
