All;
I'm shopping for a DVD-ROM RW Drive. Could you recommend the specs of one that will be good for authoring DVDs with the system I have?
Sys: Win ME
Compaq Pentium 3
127MB RAM
EDIT: Yes, I'm still looking to upgrade to Win XP!

Pioneer for teh win.
They are the drives on which media is tested on my manufactuers, and as such are very compatible. They're also decent, quality drives.
Whatever you go for in the end - DON'T BUY CHEAP. I got through 2-3 cheap DVD drives a year, and this current Pioneer one is getting to it's first year, despite heavy use.

I've found my NEC-2500 to be a reliable workhorse. It's done about 50 DVDs in the last year and not produced a single duff one. I'm not sure what the 3500 series are like, but if like the 2500, it will work well.
Dwarf Obsessive. There's just something about short barrel-chested people with a penchent for axes and beards.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
