Mga computer gurus...I need your help or opinion on HOW or PRACTICAL BA? mag kabit ng CD writer sa lumang PC whose specs are:

Pentium 200MMX
120 MB Ram
4 Gig HD

Thanks.

I've run a CDwriter on a Pentium 166mhz. But that was a 4x CDR. With the faster CDwriters, you will need Pentium II or faster to avoid buffer underrun errors when writing.

[ssaloon]

diba may minimum memory reqt for cd writers? 128mb ba?

[ghosthunter]

I was able to run it on 64 megs & Pentium 200.

[tebs]

mabilis pa nga yan e. ako nga, Pentium MMX 200 pero nasa less than 64Mb ram ko nun.

you'll just have to sacrifice the speed of writing just to guarantee yourself that your cd will be written without errors.

[ghosthunter]

yup!... usually 2x write speed lang nga ako eh.

[kinyo]

internal CD-writers usually comply with IDE specifications ... for cd-writing, ram requirement isn't critical and limited only by the OS ... the pc of wildthing should work just fine with an internal unit ... to avoid buffer underruns, don't run other programs when burning cd

Maraming salamat mga peeps...okay sa info....I'll try to see if it works.
