anyone know if DVD movie play is decent on a GF3Ti200? Im waiting on my creative one arriving in a week or so, and im currently considering whether its worth getting a DVD/CDRW combo drive or a straightforward (faster and cheaper) CDRW.

if so, i can get a LG 8x4x32 (8xDVD) for £120 [US$170ish], or a Rocoh 12x10x32 (8xDVD) for £143, which is the better buy? (note, i can get a 16x10x24 CDRW for £70...).

If its actually called rocoh I'd stay away from it :wink: , but ricoh is a reliable make. LG on the other hand...

ok so i cant spel :) 
LG bad? I thought they were meant to be ok... damn.

hmm looks like its between a £90 LiteOn 24x10x40 CDRW and a £143 Ricoh 12x10x32 with 8xDVD... how good is the gf3ti200 for dvd movie playback? sounds odd looking at two products with different features and different price, but hey i only got one more drive left.

Looks fine, dvd decoding is done in software anyways.

Its hardware if you have a decoded card, or a videocard with built in dvd decoding, but a sufficiently fast proc makes both of those non neccicary.
