I've got about $200 for an upgrade and i'm torn between a new processor and a new burner. Looking for opinions to help sway me.
I'm leaning towards the burner: The iomega I have is a piece of junk, it won't ever burn on 8x and it won't burn 80min cds and it sure has hell doesn't have burnproof (or similar technology).
Yet, there is always the draw toward raw speed.... a 1.4 pony under the hood would be styling, and certainly aid in some of the light rending work I do (when I can pull away from gaming).
Current:
CPU: AMD Duron 750MHz @ 1050MHz (7.5*140)
HSF: Millennium Glaciator
Motherboard: Abit KT7E
Memory: 256 MB of Crucial PC133 Cas 2
Hard Drive: Western Digital 40.0 GB @ 7200 RPMS
Monitor: 19 inch KDS
CDROM: Creative Labs 52x w/Audi Accel
CDR: Iomega ZipCd 8/4/32
Video Card: Creative Labs Annhilator 2 (Geforce 2)
Sound Card: Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Speakers: Boston Acoustics BA4800
Mouse: Razor Boomslang 2000 w/Ratpadz
Operating System: Windoz 98/2000
