Opteron,

1. If you are going to replace your drive, I just recently put a Pioneer DVR-106D DVD RW into my Mac and its great. Its also a PC drive so no worries there. Only cost $130 or so. Does =R and +RW (sorry..keyboard got wet and cant do the dash or apostrophes

2. I see you are looking for computer parts. I have TWO 1Ghz Morgan Duron chips looking for a new home. I used them for approx 6mos 24/7 but they are good chips, hardy and true They are low heat but their cache is also only 128 total or so. Let me know if you want them.
