Did you have anything running in the background? My AMD K62-400 desktop
skips on DVD also, but I believe this is due to problems with the drive itself (as
it does it around certain positions on all discs).
How much would a PII-400 600E run approx. with 64MB of RAM, DVD, and say a 6GB HD?
Also, does anyone know if say Kingston will let me do a trade on my memory? I have 2 32MB
modules for the 760ED, one needs to be sent back on an RMA. It'd be nice if I could trade
and pay the difference so I could get memory for a 600.
And lastly (for this email, at least), does DVD work in Windows 2000? I'd really rather not use
Windows 98. I probably reboot my Win98 box once every 2-4 days, vs my Win2K box having
been on for nearly two weeks.

More homework? =) Next semester I plan on taking 5 classes, so I better do
this extra credit early. =)
