I can get a 16x10x40 IDE Yamaha cd-burner for $130. Here are some =
concerns:
1. It is supposed to burn a cd in 5 minutes. It seems reasonable to =
use an IDE system If I can afford to wait the 5 minutes without touching =
the key board. Are there other reasons to avoid an IDE CD-burner??
2. I have a 450 P3 with 128 RAM and an Abit MB. It has 2 IDE hard =
drives on one controler and one cd-rom on the other. Can I put the =
cd-burner on the same controler as the cd-rom using a dual interface =
cable?
3. Would I notice a difference by upgrading the RAM to 256?
Pat
