i got this DVD, and its exeteremly SLOW!
and takes alot of CPU!

i was wondering if anyone has it too and has the same problems..

a friend of mine has a slower DVD (with CD read speed) and his DVD is faster than mine ( i test CD-ROM read speed)

you have to tell us what kind of mobo you got ? (intel or via chipset)

if you got via, did you install the 4-in-1 drivers ?
did you check that your dvd reader is correctly configured to work in 'ultra dma2 mode' or 'dma multimot' ??

give us some more details or we won't be able to help you! :o

uhm i got an ASUSP4T-E mobo... its an intel chipest..

the IDE is set to Use DMA if available..
