Do I need "1" or "2" dvd writers?

[Mike Moody]

Hey everyone< I am getting ready to buy me a new computer but am a little confused about whether to get it with 1 cd/dvd writer or 2 cd/dvd writers, and also which writers is the best to get. If i go with a dell or gateway i dont think i have too much say in the matter. If someone can give me some advice it would really help me out a lot. Thanks for looking at my post, hope you can give some advice. ([email protected]) If advice is given treat me like a "noob" in other words explain everything down to the why and the whynots.
