2 opticals -- Whats best to get along with a DVD Burner?

I am going to get a pc through monarchcomputer.com and I am for sure getting the NEC 3540 DVD/CD Burner...

My question is it better to get a CD Burner as your second drive or a DVD player as the second drive?

well if i were u i would just go with the dvd rom, because almost guaranteed that both can at least read cds, and the dvd rw can write cds, so id go both dvd drives.

I like to get a DVD RW and a CD RW, that way I can burn DVDs, and since I burn alot of CD's, with 2 drives its faster.

If you want to do anything serious with CDs, then a CD drive ... DVDburners wont ever touch the cd-capabilities of good cd burners ... have a look at Plextor, LiteOn and ASUS CDRW drives.

Alternatively, if you want to do DVD dumping, get a DVDROM ... it'll outperform the ROM capabilities of the DVDRW drive and save wear and tear

Nice thing about ROMs is that you can avoid ATIP checks since they dont have the ability to read ATIP

Which would be a terrible idea for anyone who does anything remotely serious or quality with an optical drive.
