Hi there,

I'aqm Sajan from Bangalore. I need your advice on DVD-Writers. I have a Dell Dimension 4300 desktop which has a 40gb hard drive, 256 mb SDRAM, 64mb GeForce Graphic Card, Liteon DVD 16x ROM and P4 1.5 Ghz Processor. I Just wanted to know which is the best DVD Writer available for my computer as SamSung and LG causes my computer to crash for some strange reason both the CD-writers and DVD-Writers of these 2 companies hung my computer. Aslo Could you suggest possible upgrades both hardware and software. Oppps!, i almost forgot, have loaded Windows XP Home Edition with service pack 2.

awating your reply.
Regards,
Sajan

Go for a Sony...Its the best in the DVD writers arena...

[abracadabra]

go for NEC, Plextor or Pioneer. They are the Big Daddies of the CD / DVD market.

as for u r upgrade u havent mentioned u r motherboard.
a minimum standard in the indian market wuld be a 80Gb Sata, 256Mb DDR, P4 2.8 or above. On the AMD side AMD Athlon 64 3000+. 128Mb supported graphics if u are not just a casual gamer ignore this.

Knowing that you are already using a lite on dvd rom i would say that you can use the same brand for your dvd writer is is the best in compatibility issues. sony is good too
