ISOs and Multisession

Hi, I have an ISO software image that's about 1.2GB, and I'd like to burn it to a 4.7GB DVD. But I think that's an awful lot of wasted space, 3.5 GB. Must I finalize the DVD in order for the software to function? Or can I make a multisession DVD and still have it work? **An option is to...

To Partion or Not To Partition

I don't understand why you guys would have applications/games in the OS partition. I don't know anything, but wouldn't it make sense to have a partition strictly for Windows/Linux/whatever, and then have the next partition for games and apps? What's wrong with doing that?

Well, the Abit AV8 has AC97 6-Ch while the Gigabyte has ALC850 8-Ch. I got the impression that the ALC850 was built off the AC97 so I assumed it was just a better version. Regardless, that's not a huge issue, as long as I have front/rear/center and A3D and EAX. Yeah, getting the WD360 over...

Alright, I'm going for the Enermax Noisetaker EG425P-VE-SFM. It's 425w, looks like its got some nice features (dual fan, automatic/manual RPM adjustment, SATA connectors), and the price is right. One final question I hope: what do you all think about the mobo? I've got the Abit AV8 (K8T800...

Thanks guys. Actually, I've read many good reviews about that particular PSU, but, as it turns out, it doesn't have an SATA power connector. I believe the WD Raptor hard drive is SATA. I don't know if I could use an adapter or something, but I may as well go with a well known brand with the...
