Hi all,
    Hope your holidays were peaceful and full of fun. I worked new
years eve and it was not either. anyway....

     I am getting ready to rebuild my AMD Duron 800 with FIC motherboard
to an Abit KV7-V motherboard and AMD Athlon XP 2900+ processor. I will
use my existing Floppy, Sony CD-RW. My question is this. If I get a
DVD+R combo with CD-RW does it do a good job at both DVD and CD or is it
best to get just a DVD? I know this is probably a minor question but I
have not ventured into DVD yet. Also what diff is there in flat ATA
cables and the rounded ones. I will also be using my existing hd's. I
am replacing my power supply and cables and one of my case fans (it has
become very noisy).
    I use Mandarke 10.1. I will also get a new video card. I am not
big into games but do have some. I have heard how hard it is to get
nVidia to work that I am shying away from it. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. I do edit photos and do a lot of graphics. TIA

Maureen
