*yawn* this has been done before.
P4 3.2 ->3.8, oh wow...
Athlon FX 2.2 -> 2.8...yup, seen that too.
4GB RAM...so? you'll not use it all, and it has to be at high timings...good thing the CPU and video card are fast.
The rest of it is just marketting for otherwise normal features.
It's just an overclocked PC, guys. get over it.

It's an elaborate hoax, that's the interesting part. Who gives a mouse toot about the "pc."

1. Damn! why are you guys so harsh on me? I thought it was something cool that I could share with others. If you don't like it, get lost!

2. You and people like you are one of the reasons that I cut down the time on ATOT. This room is getting worse and worse.

3. They have a toll free number for you to call on their website. Personally, I don't care much if it's a hoax or not bcuz I have no intention to buy it. Even if it's really a hoax, whoever made the website still have my admiration for their time and effort.

No they don't - it's only 8x with +R. Trust me. I have the drive.

Probably a typo... hey, buy.com did it too.. must mean they're a scam too!

Good call - but I think they use 8x as a selling point and then show that it's +/-R. They get it right in the description: "The Plextor PX-708A delivers the fastest performance in dual formats: 8X DVD-R write, 4X DVD-R write, 4X DVD+RW write, " As I said, I have the drive and know for a fact that it does only 4x -R. This is all a hoax anyway.

BTW: The 8x -R standard is still being developed and Pioneer hopes to have a dual format 8x +/- drive out in February. I'm hoping a future firmware upgrade will allow my Plextor to do 8x -R as well. Maybe it'll be the first - it was the first 8x +R, so how can we expect anything less?
