When I got a new PC nearly 3.5 years ago, DVD-Roms were the rage, and it was a matter of consideration at the time to get a DVD-Rom controller card when you bought your DVD drive... I got the card, and besides the notion that it improves DVD-movie playback, I have no idea what this card did ...or does!
Does anyone know what this card does?
Now, in present day, I find myself once again buying a DVD drive for a new computer -- so, the question is still valid? First of all, do these controller cards even exist anymore? Do newer 16x dvd drives play dvd videos just fine without it? Can I watch my dvds in high quality sound throuhg my Audigy2?
Just curious...
Also, does anyone have any idea when 8X external dvd writers will be coming out?
