Buy the creapest thing you can find , Lite-On makes a good DVD burner , it's the software that makes or breaks any model you buy.
And remember one thing , Nero doesnt play well with Service Pack 2.

I like Nero, good thing I haven't installed SP2 yet :grin:

I found a Pioneer at our local supply store. I may go with that one.

I was also thinking of going with Farstones Virtual Drive Suite.

I've used some of their stuff in the past and had no problems. Recently I tried their Gamedrive which works pretty well. It's almost idiot proof. Good for me.

Whadda ya think?

Thanks Oden

I have Nero on two sp2 two machines and it works fine for me.

Timex Lite-on is the largest maker, and they are very good. LG, I-O Magic, and BENQ are good as well as I have one of each. No problems with any of them although Lite-on seems to have the better techsupport and firmware updates - second for TechSupport would be LG.

At this point buy a 16 speed, dual format (i.e. DVD+ and DVD- formats), dual layer burner (9 GB media).
