The burning speed is not a concern for me so long as the burnt out DVD
can play at its normal speed in other PC e.g. in my faster Althon PC.
My PII PCs were dedicated for download and CD burning purpose now. I
just don't want to copy the downloaded files to another PC for further
processing (another issue was I cound the LAN connection between my PCs
ALL w/ XP installed were not working normally although I'm sure the
connecting hub & LAN cables had no problem).

If the drives require PIII just because of video capture / authoring
function then it's OK for me because I seldomly use them. I just afraid
even DVD burning function will need a PIII class CPU.

10GB free space is of no problem because one of my PC (PC2 mentioned
above) had 20GB disk space. For PC1 which had 10GB disk space, I can
keep the CD Rewritable drive there cos not all files downloaded need to
be burnt on DVD.

If I've an old PIII PC, I won't raise there question here. I just don't
want to throw away my old PII PCs just because I want to burn DVD.
