Buying computers - Cd rom questions

The next things you need to ask are computer CD ROM questions.

What speed is the CD ROM and does it have DVD playback?

You want a fast CD- ROM speed and it needs to support all software.

Be sure to ask about this as some places can slide a downgraded CD Rom with a bundled system to maintain profits.

Today, you really need to be looking at systems with DVD ROM drives, this may or not be important to you, however the DVD ROM is designed to run as fast as an optimal CD ROM and will serve you well if you decide you do want to get in to movie watching or editing.

Another thing you need to consider is a CD RW. This will enable you to copy important files, create music CDs and many other added benefits come with having CD RW. For those with extra cash, you may want to look at DVD RW for further benefits, such as DVD copying and larger files storage on one Digital Versatile disc disc.

Remember, don’t be shy, and ask what the computer comes with in terms of CD drives. You want to know exactly what you get before you buy a bundled system. Don’t be shy; sales people are paid to answer your questions.
