Nice choice, downstairs i bought a lite-on 16x dvd for my step dad for his computer. Looks good.

Try looking in the BIOS. It should be listed there.

I have an app at home, don't remember what it is, but it will tell you what you need to know.
I'll post it later if you don't find something sooner.

98 2K XP

Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System information.

Select from the 'System Summary' tree. Should tell you.

Another good source of info is dxdiag. Type it into the 'Run' Box.
All sorts of good guff there.
