DVD-RAM/DVD-ROM

[Sojourn]

I was looking over pricewatch.com while planning out my new system, and I noticed a header for DVD-RAM and a seperate DVD-ROM header. What is the difference? The DVD-RAM drives were more expensive...

RAM is <i>Random Access Memory</i> which means that the DVD can be overwritten and again and again. ROM is <i>Read Only Memory</i> and can only read DVDs but cannot write.


Smart guys are not smart; they only see things in different perspective.
