If you have the proper software and more than one burner (CD or DVD) can you burn more than one disc at a time?

I'm setting up a system for video editing and gaming. Here's what I'm going to configuration as far as storage is concerned: System Drive: Quantum Atlas 10k III 10,000 RPM SCSI on Adaptec 2940-U2W controller card. Documents and Files: Western Digital Caviar Serial ATA 250 Gig 7200 RPM...

What is everyone's experience with either of these cards? I'm mostly going to be video editing and gaming...

I have an Antec TruePower 430 Watt PSU on order. My Asus P5AD2-E manual says that 20-pin PSUs are compatible with the board, but will I also need some sort of converted to power my X800XT PCI-e graphics card?

My sister's sub-unit died... It was within the warranty and Klipsch replaced it no charge,

Yeah, I overpaid rediculously. I blame it on my impatience...

Yeah...that's computers for ya. This'll definately be the most powerful computer I've ever owned considering the level of the components I'm putting in it for its time. The system I'm on now (Pentium III 1.0 GHz, 512 MBs SDRAM, GeForce 3) is entirely SCSI and runs like a tank. I'll miss SCSI...

Are SCSI drives physically-built to better standards? I've had the same three 9 gig SCSI drives for almost 5 years, extensive abuse, no problems (knock on wood). Although, the 36 gig 10k Quantum Atlas I had for A/V scratch went bad after about 3 years, but jeez, I used the hell out of that thing.

Wow, that's going to be insane.

Thank the leftovers from my student loan. Oh, and the P5AD2-E has built-in Wi-Fi and Firewire-800...great for external hard drives. I know the P5GA2 has is also, but jeez, I just had to get the most expensive thing out there. If only I had the extra cash for the Extreme...

Well, the extreme edition is nearly $1000, and I just don't have that in the budget... However, I did have it in the budget to get an Asus ATI X800XT PCI-e graphics card. 3.4 GHz, the Asus card, and two gigs of RAM should do me right. Plus, I wanted to get the 3 PCI slots that the P5AD2...

I think the original. Not sure though.

Using it for video editing mainly, gaming on the side. Putting a 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 (not extreme edition).

I've got the Asus P5AD2-E. Ordered to 1 gig sticks of Kingston Value DDR2-PC3200 533MHz RAM.

So I don't need to get these so-called "kits" when getting DDR2 memory for my new system???
