Iowacheese. You always have the best.

Maggie, Why do you need 3 DVD Burners? I thought having TWO (1 Int./1 Ext.) was excessive. (I have 2, Sony DRU-710 16x DL Ext/Pioneer 110D Int.) I have burned 2 at once 1 at 8x and the other at 4x. Both discs came out fine.

Have you ever burned 3 DVD's at once? Just wondering.

AMD Athalon 2700
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (best motherboard I've ever used)
ATI All In Wonder 9600XT
1G DDR400 RAM
2 - 160G Seagate IDE (1 used external)
1 - 200G Seagate IDE
1 - 300G Seagate SATA
1 - 60G WD External
Aopen CRW2440
NEC ND-3520A
Lexmark Optra Rn+
Epson Photo R300
Casio CW-50 Disk printer
Samsung 930b


That's the main PC. Then there's one in each of the kids rooms, three laptops, and a few PC's in the attic. I networked the whole house last year so there's hard wired Internet access in every room (4 ports per) as well as out by the pool in addition to wireless.

In my best Tim Allen, wohhohoh.

Why not have three? My case, motherboard and power supplies can support it, so why not?

And yes, I've burned 3 discs all at max speeds (both CDs, DVDs and a combination thereof) simultaneously. Completely excessive but it's fun all the same. I do so love the dual core.

Last night, I decrypted the first four disks of Battlestar Galactica Season 1 in roughly 16 minutes. And then I did the fifth on its own in about 12 minutes. (I'd rahter use the burned copies than risk damaging the commercial ones.)

You're a good man,Smedley. Same here. Computers every where in my house. Hard wire every where in the house also,but I put in a wireless router last year for the laptops so we could sit on the deck durning the summer and use them without having 300 ft of cat 5 snaked thru the house to the deck.

Yes,a Tim Allen grunt indeed.

WOW, All I have is a Dell Dimension, no bells and whistles and a Pioneer R100B5PK burner. Last night I decrypted the 1st four disks of Deadwood and it too prlbably 40 minutes each Then another 40 - 50 minutes to burn them.

Did I do something wrong or is it just my system? For the most part, no other programs were running in the background.

Well, without knowing your system details, I can't say with any authority, but I would wager that it's your system. There's nothing wrong with time you posted for most machines.

At the risk of sounding like a Bragging Betty, my system is obscenely powerful with an excessive amount of optical drives. Not ridiculously obscene, mind you, just run of the mill obscene.

Until the end of next week.
