1900+ and dvd burning?

[notoriousformula]

hello all.. i'm going to setup seprate dvd burning machine.. I wondering will an AMD 1900+ @ 1.4Ghz, 266 FSB, 512MB PC3200 Ram, do the dvd writing?.. I don't want any coasters .. I'll be using DVDXpress, DVDXCopy and DVD Shrink.

Many thanks

the shrinking itself won't be super quick, but burning is NO problem. i was making DVD's on my Athlon 650 a couple years back.

shweet! ..I don't do shrinking.. just copy the dvd to dvd..

many thanks

I don't do shrinking.. just copy the dvd to dvd..

you do know that most dvds are dvd-9's and will require shrinking for you to be able to burn on a dvdr?

yep i know that ..

1900s are 1.6 GHz clock, but they are markedly faster than a 1.6 P4. Also that's some really fast RAM you're running for that chip. Planning on upgrading the processor to a Barton 400 anytime soon?

nah dude.. thats nothing.. i'm building that 1900+ rig cus i want a separate PVR + DVD recording machine.. I have got two other Barton rigs with 2500+ @ 2.5Ghz, Corsair XMS PC3500 and WD 36Gb raptors in Raid0 array

i don't think you'll impress mr rallynavvie, take a peek at his PC spec.

heh.. thats not a computer or a gaming Rig.. thats a server.. I have got way better video card.. ATI 9800XT :P

[rallynavvie]

Neither of my SMP systems are servers, they are both workstations. And they game very well thank you very much

The 9800XT is indeed a better video card, but I built my system with higher end parts. The GFX 5600 is just a placeholder for an X800 or 6800, whichever gains greater notoriety.

Why are you using the slower machine for video? If you have to do any encoding you're going to want more processor speed. You may want to put GbE controllers in all your computers, use the faster one for ripping/encoding if needed, then send the file to the slower one for the burn process. Get a DVD-ROM drive for direct copies. Use the slower machine as a dedicated game server whenever you aren't using it for burning.

Ye, i should do that.. dvd roms are only..umm $24 here .. Thanks for advice.. and GL with X800

NotoriousFormula, that 1900 system you describrd is almost identicle to the one I'm running. I have no complants and any costers I've made have been my fault.
