Update: After going through the forums at www.worldofwarcraft.com I found that there were a lot of people having problems with x1950 cards. I made the decision to RMA my x1950 Pro and return it for refund. I picked up a BFG 7950 GT OC today and installed it. Happily I play 2.5 hours of WoW...

I also have a Powercolor x1950 AGP card and have been having problems with it. I have now tried it on two different builds and it is consistently crashing in World of Warcraft. I've checked everything else (Memtest 86 - no problem; Prime95 - no problem) - everything is pointing to the card...

Ok, here is an update. I made the change from PIO to DMA on the Secondary IDE channel as I mentioned previously. I made a backup of a DVD and watched it tonight - no errors - the disk played fine from start to finish. I previously tried backing up this disk (Hidalgo) and had skipping errors...

The burned disks will have the same skipping problems towards the end on my settop player, my LiteON DVD-ROM drive and on my Plextor 708A. In fact, I tried ripping a few of the disks, and they would not rip either (got stuck about 80% into the process). The drive is a little less than a year...

OK, I just got home to check my machine. In terms of the device manager, the only thing I found was that one of my seconard IDE channels was set to PIO, so I changed this to DMA. How do I tell if my Plextor is on the primary or secondary IDE channel? I'll try burning another disk and see...

Toejam31, Thanks for the reply. Here is a little more info about my system. I have a P4 3.2, ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe motherboard, 1Gb of Kingston Hyper-X, two 36Gib SATA Raptors in a RAID-0, a 250GB WD SATA drive for storage, a LiteON DVD-ROM and the Plextor 708A. I'm running XP Pro with SP2...

The one advantage of having a seperate DVD-ROM drive is that you can put the original disk you are ripping into the DVD-ROM and then your blank media in the DVD-writer. You then set up your software to rip, re-author, burn etc and walk away from the computer. When you come back the burnt disk...

I have a Plextor 708A burner hooked up to my P4-3.2 based system. I've been running into problems consistently with burning DVD-R's and +R's. My set up for backing up movies is as follows - I use AnyDVD combined with Nero 6. I have the latest firmware for the Plextor and latest versions of...
