i think cracker/cookie/senbe/mochi would definitely be a better choice.

I love sugar as long as I'm not becoming fat

btw, Wasn't it the English who put sugar in their tea? I think I remember reading that in elementary school. But if I'm wrong, well hey, everyone knows what kind of student I was anyway. :beaten:

No, no, ahochaude . . . but, you're almost there. It's all about how the English say stuff like "hear, hear!" and that they also have tea time and, so . . . O.K. Sorry.

:hehe: For some reason, it reminds me of Bean. (Why? I don't know......:crazy2:)

Oh well, I guess the second part of my previous post explains why I don't know and why I'm such a dumb ass! :beaten: :beaten: :hehe:

Shameless bump! LOL! :hehe:

I finally got a new computer. I decided to go with eMachines. I got a discontinued model, I had to chase it down! The reason I did this is because the model they replaced this with is an inferior computer, albeit very slightly. Here are some specs, although I don't know what *some* even mean, lol:

eMachines T3265
AMD Athlon 3200+ Xp processor w/ Quantispeed Architecture
160 GB ATA Hard Drive (one slot for another hard drive for later :mrgreen:)
CD-ROM (bay 1)
DVD +/- RW (4x) CD-RW (16x) (combo drive, so the CD-RW is slower than the current standard..) (bay 2)
512 MB DDR SDRAM (one more slot for another ram stick later ;) )
5 USB ports
Video: NVIDIA GeForce4
Audio: nForce 6-channel
Internal floppy drive (these f***ers are hard to find now!)

Basically I got everything but the monitor for $649. Sure, it's not as spiffy as some of what's out there now and it's not Athlon 64 bit, but for the price and what I need, I think I did ok! Plus, it's definitely gotta be better than the 3.5+ year computer I have now :hehe: Although this one lasted quite a bit, and I'm still moving out of it, so my new eMachines is still in the box :google:

Congrats, KS! :applaud: Hope your transition to the new machine is problem free... :D

I'm thinking about upgrading myself: I've been scoping out CPU-motherboard combos, DVD burners, and more memory.... :)

Hello

I just installed a phpBB2 forum, and I was wondering.... does anyone know the rules of creating your own style, can I change everything except the bottom (phpBB2 powered by)??

Thanks

you can change styles in the administration console, there should be a link to it if you're logged in as the administrator.

Alternatively you can download templates created by other people, just visit the phpBB homepage for a whole database of them.

I'm looking to buy a dvd and cd combo burner. But I don't know what all the technicalities mean.
What does single/dual layer mean?
What is the difference between the speed for DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW?

Also, what brands of dvdr disc is good?

Any help will be greatly appreciated! :D

I would recommend the Pioneer DVR-107D. Can't go wrong with the leader in DVD burners :P

As for dual and single layer, I'm not too sure myself but isn't dual layer 2 layers of a DVD in 1 so basically it's twice as big? Single should just be your normal standard DVDs. The + or - is just the type of DVD media. Both are usually compatible with any DVD-Rom and I believe pretty much all new burners will write on both + or -.

More than likely the burner you'll buy will be single layer. I think dual layer is like....movie DVD's you buy in stores. I think dual layer burners are out or coming out, but they'll probably be damn expensive for a while :sweat:

I'm not sure what your question about speed is for the formats, but I think all DVD burners now do both +R and -R. I think -R is most common for people to use and want.

DVD-R brands....hmm. Basically many of the same for CD-R brands. I like: Imation, Ridata/Ritek (made by TDK I think), Verbatim, Memorex, Sony, Fuji, etc.

single layer = DVD 5, 4.7 gb
dual layer = DVD 9, twice as big as DVD 5.

All dvd burners now burn DVD 5 discs. but 90% of factory pressed DVDs that you buy commercially are DVD 9.
DVD+R is pretty fast compared to DVD-R. Read speeds are very fast for DVD+R.
Any rewritable discs such as DVD+RW or -RW will be slow.

DVD-r discs i like: Ritek, Princo (people have mixed feelings about these), Prodisc, Optodisc.
i have had success with all brands. i've burnt thousands of DVDs with my Pioneer A105.
:twisted:

Thanks for the recommendation. I looked at the specifications for this model and I think I want one with a faster cdr speed. Cus right now I have a small desktop that only has one slot for my cdr burner. So when I get the internal dvd+/-rw drive, Im gonna depend on only this drive to burn both cdr and dvdr for me.

I'm thinking about getting:
Optorite 12X DVD+/-RW Drive, Model DD1203
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-182-024&depa=1
or Lite-On Black 8X DVD+/-RW Drive, Model SOHW-812S
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-106-936&depa=1
or NEC 8X Black DVD+RW/-RW Drive, Model ND-2500A
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-152-012&depa=1

not sure which one though...

What I don't understand is the difference between the (+) and (-) sign? Why do ppl prefer (-)? I have no clue :crazy:

Also what is considered normal price and good price for dvdr?
Thanks for the replies.

Yea I know what you mean about the CD-R speed. It takes forever, well not forever for me to burn CDs so that's why I avoid them and just burn DVDs now. Maybe look into Sony DVD burners as they have a better CD-R read speed but I hear their 8x burner isn't too good. Basically a remake of the Lite-on so it probably isn't worth it. Their 4x burners are pretty stable though from what people say on dvdrhelp
