[md300]

what speed and make and brand modal ect for cd rom

 

[Cpt. Duke]

I recommend the Asus 40x or 50x... should be about $40

/me recommends a 16X DVD drive from Lite-On, Toshiba, or Pioneer... you get 40X CD-ROM with it and they're around $45-$55

Anything over 22X is fine, really.

And, if you want a straight answer, you need to say what you are doing with the damn thing!

I agree with the DVD drive deal. I bought a Pioneer 16x about 6 months ago, for around $65. It does CD's at 40x, and worked a lot better and 15x faster than the Kenwood 72x I had. I finally got rid of the dedicated CDrom, now I have a free IDE channel, and drive bay. I also got sold the Kenwood POS for 2x what the DVD drive cost. For >$65 you may as well go DVD.

I third the DVD route. for not much money you can get a 16X Lite-On DVD drive that reads CDs at 40X which is more than sufficient for most purposes.

TEAC 40x if you ask me

plextor 40x scsi is the best cd-rom drive made imho. i had a kenwood 72x and i rue the day i made that purchase. what a pos!

i like the pioneer 16x dvd drives, and the 12x toshiba dvd drives too.
