Since installing the USB 2.0 pci card, I find that the CD burner that's
connected to it is faster than the one in the machine, I use the two to
copy my back up CD's, and with the extra ports I have my scanner pluged in
and just wanted to pick up one of those USB DVD burners so I could burn my
World of Dahiles Slideshow on DVD and do the same for the Astro slideshow
I'm working on. The nearest store of any kind to me is 3/4th of a gas tank
( one way ) away from me, and at near to $3.00 a gal, it's cheaper on
ebay, I might also lookat overstock this month too, hope to get one before
I start the buying of this trailer, as after I start that, it'll be a long
15 months before getting anything else.

I agree with CP on purchasing a new DVD Player/Burner. As far as the USB 2.0
being faster, my guess is that Play and Write speed is greater than the
internal that you have. Try CompUSA, OfficeDepot, Office Max, etc for a
player (they all have a mail order component). Of course there are also many
more places that are web only that may be cheaper yet www.pricewatch.com
