@Mr.E all is well here. ive left the system alone at 3.6ghz. been running there fine all weekend. not problem one. been burning some disc up he past few days. ive used some of them newer 16x+verbs you know the ugly packageing they have now.. i seem to like them. as BlivetNC and a few others have commented on the verbs lately with the high amount of PIE's the first 5 disc i hve burnt out of this new batch all under 15000 pie's pretty nice i think. would like to see them under 10,000 but hey the drive has to learn them i guess. they code out the same as the older version(s)MCC004 just glad they arent the MII's..
GM, The reason I line the Asus drive for my DVD-Rom is it will read disks that other drives won't! I've even managed to be able to burn an ISO and make a new disk on disks that wouldn't run in the NEC. I use both drives in all my 2 drive customer builds, and the only one that ever went bad was mine! My cheapo PS went south taking the DVD-Rom, which was running at the time of the fireworks, with it. 3 days left on the warranty from Newegg! No problem as they replaced it! I would really like a combo drive for CDs, but Silver seems to have disappeared. I have the ability to paint it, but I'm pretty sure that would void the warranty! LOL!! Glad to hear your new rig is running smoothly! Best Regards, Russ
well im not sure on how loud it is(DVR-215D) but it sure seems next to impossible to find one. where did you happen to get them Russ? makes me want one even more now that it cant be found..lmao im wanting 2 sata drive(really 3) but i have to take what i can afford right now...lol

Get one and see if I'll like it... hehehe. If you like it get one for me and send it on. j/k..... I may wait for some better deals but like you I prefer to have something new and different if possible. ...Mr. E
yea i just checked shipping...$44 no thanks...lol hey i got one of my rebates back today.. from crucial $20. so i should have te other 2 back in the next week i hope. sent all 3 at the same time..that will take care of 2 drives maybe 3 with some free shipping and the right sale..
$15.00 for me...I've passed as well. harumph. I really would like to have one of these jewels though. I'm doing some comparison testing here if anyone is interested in the difference of my old P4 2.4 and the new Q6600. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/571061/3878122

OH you SOB's are killing me!!! I'm gonna post 20 scans when I get home to make up for lost time! Gotta get that new "scanning" system tho....hehehe.. Nice scans there fellas..... CincyBOY finally got a NEW sig!! /me likey!! Gotta go find something like that for the GM NOW!! ....gm
what ya want GM? the RED Raiders????? @loco. where do you go for the settings to show the verify cpu%,verify rpm ect. the stuff on the right hand side. mine dont show that in the graph?????
Thanks, but the PIE's are a little high...the QS can be a little misleading with DIP. I haven't changed any settings so either your drive doesn't support the feature as I see the options are greyed out in your screenies...or you are using the free version and these aren't available in that version. I'm using the Pro version and haven't touched any of the options.
think its my drives dont support that part of it. as for i too have the pro version..and yes DIP, does have lower standards than nero for scanning the disc. eaiser to get higher scores. but in my eyes anything in the 90's is good for me. if i get anything lower i tend to check the disc for CRC errors. when you actually burn with imageburn do you verify your burns aftewards? that might have something to do with those stats showing??
