Hi,
I see no reason this burner will not work on your rig.
I see no reason this burner will not work on your rig.
Will this DL Burner work on my computer ?
I own a Dell Pentium 4, running on Windows XP.
2 x 80 gb western digital hard-drives, 256Ram, so on.
I currently have a NEC regular DVD/cd buner.
I am updating to a NEC DL DVD/cd burner.
I'm sure it will work on my computer, but I want to make sure.
Let me know, thanks
