DVD Writer New Needed.. and RAM

[khandu]

Many topics exist i know ..

but my budget is around 3000 max.. not compulsory to spend all of it..

so which one to get latest..

some dealer was giving some 20X writing speed Liteon ( forgot the model ) for Rs. 2050 is that good??

or some1 please give me 3 good dvd writer model and costs ( lamington road is ok ) and shop number if u have

awaitin response.. please do give asap.. need to buy .. do give in order of preferences.. should be 2 yrs life proof..

previously i had a liteon for 3 years.. burnt over 1000 DVD/CD .. now its burnt itself out i guess



Also whats the cost of 512 DDR RAM for P4???

[shantanu]

512 DDR costs rs. 2200/- Dynet chipset (simtronics ) and 2400 transcend..

and 20 X liteon i cant say that will the DVD work after burning at 20x and whether 20x burnable media has launched or not... i have 16x SONY DVD writer and i max write upto 12x... and it is advised to write @ 4x or 8x by good Companies.. if you Download a Beta setup or something AS:

Vista RC2 downloads or now RTM downloads for MSDN subscribers.. they say write speed @ 1x or 2x but we dont get that in nero.. so the least i write on that..

YOU CAN GO FOR SONY OR HP

[n2casey]

I have SONY DRU-820A & I m completely satisfied with it. I can write DVD at the speed upto 16x, & It can read-write dual layer DVD too.
I advice u to go for a SONY DRU-830A or SONY DRU-820A.

Sony DRU830A 2K
ram transcend 512MB 2.2K

I knew liteon has launched a 20X DVD RW but is it readily available? Media is not I am sure. Any how if its for 2000 bucks I'd suggets grab it. Liteon is good to trust and so is sony.
I have a sony 16X and I have burnt on full 16X as well with no problem. Sometimes the media burnt on high speed become uncompatible on certan drives, that is the only reason people suggest to burn at 12x or lower speeds.

for RAM

1)Corsair (with 10 yrs WARRANTY - no question asked Table Replacement) - High Price
2)Kingston
3)Transcend (with lifetime waranty - printed on pack - but delaer said 3 yrs)
4)Twinmose 3-5 yrs Warranty

All above are good quality RAM, don't think Twinmos as 3rd Class RAM, as I put in on 4th Number.

[khandu]

ok

i think i will go for transcend ram + liteon dvd writer

simply because half the expert dealers are saying go for liteon as it has old shelf life and my previous ones worked for nearly 3 yrs..

can ne1 give any lamington rd shop names and numbers where i can find these item cheap.. will be going tomorrow.. awaiting reply

previous models of sony were made by Lite-on/Benq and they performed good.
but Sony DRU-830A is rebagged of Samsung SH-S182D, samsung DVD writer are not reliable.
Lite-on has bought BenQ CD/DVD writer department.
go for liteon LH-20A1P or BenQ Dw 2000

[khandu]

already got the stuff guys

Liteon LH-20A1P : Rs. 1900 ( My previous liteon worked like CHEESE )
Transcend 512MB DDR : Rs. 1850
Logitech Navigator Keyboard : Rs. 400 ( doesnt feel that good )
vaccum suction USB : Rs. 60 ( featured in feb issue )
