Thanks again im learning a lot today...i now believe Im going to buy the Sony burner as I would like to have the option to make movies and use it for other purposes as well even for the fact that my regualer CD-RW max writing speed is only 4X

stinking HPs..I really could use a whole comp upgrade but whatever thats a whole nother forum
As for my mod chip Ive changed my mind again..I read about this Smart Chip and how it wipes the floor with Magic..and
Americanmodz.com has an installation service to put that chip in altogether for $75 so ill be saving money, losing a step in the process to modding, and getting a better chip.
Thanks for your replies guys
