Jeannie What did I tell ya? At least the 2 recommendations you just got agree on Pioneer and Lite-On. The others mentioned are also good. All of us appear to agree on the Lite-On. But that doesn't mean the next ten people voting will. LOL
not read up on asus, but i got asus motherboard (had a few now) and also i have an asus graphic card... all good.
SATA? Not on the one in the wife's PC. I've had good luck with Asus boards, so I thought I'd give the optical drive a try. I picked it up from the Egg because I didn't have a drive in any of the PCs that could handle RAM. I had all the other bases covered, so I thought I'd cover that one. Still haven't run into a need for the RAM feature, but it's there if I ever do. LOL So far no problems. Here's a SATA model from Newegg, $32.99 for the OEM. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135145 SATA is the current tech, so my future builds will be using SATA drives. I also like the smaller SATA cables, they're less clutter inside the case.
This sucks! Looks like DVDFAB will be getting even more business in the near future! $72.00 for a decrypter! LOL Better put some really good bait on that hook! Antigua, West Indies - November, 30th 2007 SlySoft switches over to the Euro In order to guarantee future software development, SlySoft will change its pricing from U.S. dollars 1:1 to the Euro effective January 1, 2008. The resulting price increase is absolutely justified according to SlySoft CEO Giancarlo Bettini: "The largest cost factor facing a software company is programming. All our developers are already paid in Euro and have been for years. In order to maintain our software at the latest level well into the future and at the same time be able to provide our customers with free updates and free support, a switch to the Euro was simply a logical consequence." Out of fairness, SlySoft announces this step well in advance of its taking effect in order to provide all interested parties the opportunity to purchase SlySoft products at the old prices. Those buyers who act quickly in this time can also save an additional 20% with the special Christmas Promotion which started today. Using a currency calculator, that looks like a jump in price for AnyDVD from $49.00 to $71.98. Sombody may want to check my numbers.
You guys are just awesome. I have soooo much good information I will have my head spinnin for a week. But since I have others to buy for for the next 4 weeks I will probably just wait until the "after" Christmas sales. Have a really good one. Jeannie
http://avatars.imvu.com/signup/index.php is where you sign up. and... http://avatars.imvu.com/ThunderLady is my homepage. It's a 3d chat client.
Actually looks pretty nice, but I already have IRC, MSN, googletalk and Skype and rarely use them anymore.
LOCOENG, Same here... I already have too many places to keep up with now. Thanks, Jeannie! You can always come here to talk, we don't mind. Just make sure your talking about computer stuff or someone may blow a fuse. LOL
The mods are always telling me to stay on topic in the tech threads. That mean old Binkie nailed me earlier. She's so sweet though, it's hard to think of her as mean. LOL I guess the mods are lightening up over the holidays. I've still got the Safety Valve and PMs. Jeannie Interesting site, but too girly for me. It's hard to believe they have women over 40 posting their age. Some are sensitive along those lines. Obviously you're not one of them. Did I see mention of a grandchild? NC? With everything else, I'm surprised I didn't see a stock car in there. LOL NC is some beautiful country from the mountains down to the ocean. The ocean is nice, but I'm partial to the mountains. QuikDraw, Since we've all gone off the farm, where did you get the statement about Slysoft switching 1:1, dollar to euro? Besides your post I saw it at Digital Media. I was thinking I saw it at Slysoft, but can't remember for sure.
