Hey, I am custom building a computer soon and just decided that I'd like to have a DVD drive in it.
What is the deal with Aopen and Acer. Are they the same? I am going to try and buy all my hardware from one place, www.mwave.com to save on shipping. They only carry the Acer 16x DVD. While www.cdspeed2000.com only tested the Aopen 16x DVD.
What is the best DVD drive?
What is the deal with hardware decoders? What do they do? Are they necessary. How do you hook up one? When you custom build a computer, you want to have windows recognise one piece of hardware at a time so it doesn't wig out. Does this mean that the hardware decoder should not be installed when the computer is turned on for the first time?
Do DVD drives offer DMA-66 support?
Thanks
