Any reason for 2 DVD players ?

Would save some cash.

Oh the difference would cover 64bit windows, best use it.

Hi Roobarb,

I like 2 DVD players so I can leave at least 1 game in to play whenever I want. The small amount it costs saves me the cost of personal the annoyance at having to change the disc. Besides, over the last 8 - 10 years, it's a convenience I've got used to.
As for the cost of 64bit Windows 7 - it makes no difference to the build price, I just wondered if one was better than the other and why.

Could you not transfer your old dvd drive/s to your new pc

oh and 64bit will take full advantage of your 4GB of RAM and allow for more RAM to be added thats the main difference,
however youll have to come to terms with the fact that any old hardware that doesnt have 64bit drivers available for it will not work
most 32bit software on the other hand should work (there are exceptions where the developer who made the program took shortcuts in the programming meaning it wont work)
