I'm a little new to the computer hardware market, but am looking into buying
a CD-ROM. I've heard of all weird things about them and am not sure what
to believe. I have a 486DLC with 4meg memory and 210 HD. Could anyone please
give me advice on what to do....
Should I wait, or buy now?? Are the differences between double and triple
speeds big? Are there any makes I should avoid ?
Any help would be welcome.
Can you reply or e-mail me at broude@beastie.cs.und.ac.za
