    Hi all,

    This has probably been posted by me (maybe even by me when i was half asleep cuz it's a familiar topic) but what is the speed of the DVD-RW drives for the M3NP? Thanks!

    From my understanding, it is:

    Write Speeds:
    2x DVD-R/RW
    2.4x DVD+R/RW
    24x CD-R
    8x CD-RW

    Read Speeds:
    24x CD
    4x DVD

    I agree, that W3N looks sweet... however, its availability to North America and its price is unknown at the moment.
    I hope it comes soon...

    well i was looking at my dvd drive, and it looks like i would be able to unscrew the bezel, the connector adapter, and the plastic sides off and apply it to another drive. My friend ordered the NEC dual burner so when he gets it i'm going to try to see if it will work.
