I had lots of problems with mine! I was on my third one of those burners before I decided to upgrade it and get it over with. BTW almost all newer DVD players will play a +r. At lewast I haven't had any problems as far as compatibility...

Well alot of that I prolly won't be much help on, mine is being upgraded to the 9700 right now, in mine the mobo rev. sticker was actually on the outside of the memorycover, alittle white sticker. Yes if it says 766 you have a 5500. Good...

Mine is heading in Monday. Had lots of BSODs called tech support and wnet through about 3 hours of different things when we finished it woudln't even boot anymore! Just sat there with the screen flashing whitre ever so often.

Yup! Should read them just fine.

Well I can burn too now. Only at 2.4x but that is better than nothing! guess we'll be knockng on wood together.

Update on the third drive and still the same ol' crap! I am running XP home currently SP1 thoug I have had SP2 and took it back off.

I have had the same problem, I am on my second drive and still can't burn a DVD.

Well the impact of the internet is a pretty obvious one. I don't think they even have a B&M store. But you should get a lot of othe rsources than this forum for your study. The views here are going to be really really skewed!

Avant browser or My IE2. But I have used both and you are WAY better off with firefox. Opera is great as well but I am cheap and don't like the ads!
