i am buyin a new dvd writer
i want to back up all my mp3's on my P-II machine
specs r
P-II 266 mhz
32 mb ram
windows ME

will the pc be able to burn dvd's with 32 mb ram & p-II processor ?
will there be any buffer under run error?
& r there any particular precautions i should take while installing the writer / how should i install the writer(instructions)
thanx for any help

i don't think the hardware should have any problem but u won't get the proper software 2 burn the dvd . it's better u plug uer hard disk 2 a frens comp & make uer bakup from there

Add reps if this works

32 mb ram will have probs writing dvds properly...best is what abhi suggested.

take out the hdd from ur comp...put into a new comp and backup all the data...

ssk, 32 mb ram is not good enuf for dvd burning. look at the booklet for minimum config. i think u need a min of 128 mb ram for dvd burning.

ssk... if u want 2 take only mp3 backup, then why don't u install a cd-writer?

forget dvd burning on 32mb...
