My DVD rom drive is behaving weird, I think. When I was watching Gladiator, at about Chapter 13 (halfway into the movie) I got a lot of pauses as if something could not keep up with the playing of the movie.
I have a Celeron II 633mhz, an abit BH-6 motherboard - 256K of RAM and a Sony DVD Rom drive (I don't remember the model number - but it came with the Real Holywood II MPEG decoder card - I also have a voodoo2 2000 AGP video card and a Western Digital Caviar HD - no super fast thing. I do not think it is the hard drive slowing down but just the DVD that does not seem to keep up - for some reason I thought the DVD-Rom drive (purchased around 2/98 was a 5X speed. I have not watched very many movies with it but it seems that Matrix did not have that problem. Any advice would be appreciated. thank you.
