I am interested in upgrading the PC with a faster DVD burner. Has any one
done this and what brands have you used.

Also I am considering formating my computer and starting fresh, also does
anyone have tips to this process. Lots of old bugs that I hope will go away
with a clean install all the way from 2003 to 2005 when I get the disk.

thanks
David
