Hey your right, dvd/cdrom drive from lite-on $50. 16X dvd and 48X cdrom. Just about $20 more than a low cost cdrom. If I were playing games, would the 48X speed make any difference than to a 52X speed cdrom? I wouldn't think so, but just thought I'd ask.
Thanks again for the input. I am using a soundblaster 16 pci soundcard now with my P3 500Mhz computer and it sounds ok to me through my receiver and speakers. I guess it would be about the same or better as the one in the motherboard. So maybe I could just find out if I get it running.
Boy, I've been reading a lot about those epox 8KHA+ boards on the amd site. Its kind of making me wonder how long I should wait until getting one. Its funny, I'm reading their forum everyday waiting for someone to say, "Ok everythings fine now, you can buy one of these boards now."
If I were to make a purchase with newegg.com, can I specify an epox 8KHA+ motherboard with an N+ bios? That is what I've been reading, that boards with this N+ bios chip usually won't have the problems, and that they are really good boards for gaming.
