| Yo- You are probably ok with your system (may need another 256mb of ram) Go with the cheapest between the two burners- Mike

| actually they have the same price tag... between regular firmware updates (liteon) and dual covers (sony)... hmmm liteon? thanks |
| I used to have a system just like that one (Duron 800Mhz, 256Mb RAM, Geforce MX card). Never had a problem either burning DVDs or watching them. |
| more RAM can help. and an NTFS file system if you need it |
| i have winxp installed.. and will have an extra 128mb (from a friend) my system is an old one (with also a geforce2 gts and epox 8kta3) .. will also plan to upgrade later (or buy a new system) thanks guys for the replies |

They won't be the same price if you purchase from newegg.com. Liteon now is approx. $25.00 less than the Sony. Mark Last edited by Sportfish; 18-11-2004 at 07:27. Reason: Spelling |
