    shutdown

    Disable all in one card

    Old DVD drive

    only one way to find out. Pop one in and see, should only take a few minutes. You will need dvd decoder software. If you have an ATI vid card the driver cd usually comes with a decoder. If it doesn't work dvd roms are super cheap now. Just grab a new one. one benefit is 16x as apposed to 2x...
