    Have CD ROM drive speeds reached their max?

    I beleive they have reached the physical limitations of the media. Could be wrong but most cd drives dont get above low 30's in read speed anyway.

    What the heck happened....

    Take the battery, wait a sec then put it back in. That should clear the cmos. After that I am not sure.

    I'm having a really hard time networking 2 computers to share files.. can anyone help??

    I am assuming you are using windows. Go to windows explorer and right click on the drive (HD or CD) and click on sharing. Set the parameters you want and that should do it. You won't see the other computer till there is something to share.

    What order to install drivers in?

    Personally I load them in order of importance. MB, VC, SC, Mouse. After that I don't think it really matters.

    Install XP or wait?

    Only reason would be driver support. SB live, Linksys nic , via 4-1 and Geforce2 mx. Also I dont think MaCafee 4.0 works in XP.
