does anyone have any experience with this drive? I'd like to install one in my htpc but am worried about the hardware requirements especially requiring vista as an os? I currently have a socket 754 amd 3400 on an msi k8n neo platinum 7030board with 2gb of ddr2 667 ram with diamond hd2600 pro agp card. My current os is media center rollout2. I have a microsoft hd dvd add on attatched via usb to this computer and am able to get hddvd playback with good results with the above combo. Do i have to upgrade my cpu and motherboard and os to be able to use the pioneer drive as i was hoping the hd2600 card would take up the brunt of bluray playback and wanted to avoid running vista. I can get the drive at and affordable price but it wont be returnable. i'm dying to get some bluray movies happening on my htpc asap as i already have hddvd going relatively "smoothly"
any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated.
