Heya,

I have a similar setup I bought my sister (Athlon XP 1700+, same motherboard with extra RAID controllers, 384MB RAM, 120GB HD, 16X DVD-ROM), but with Windows XP Professional.

I went on eBay and got her a cheap 4X SCSI burner and PCI SCSI card. $40. I am going to drop a Plextor in there later this year.

Never once have made a coaster, and the burn-in test was playing a DVD while running Norton Anti-Virus 2002 and copying 1GB of files, while burning the CD using Roxio Easy CD Creator.

I like that motherboard. It's the best one ASUS made for the Athlon, IMHO, because it's the most stable. Don't get me started on the original nForce mobos

.
