(Taken from the magazine) "Creative Labs, maker of Sound Blaster sound cards and other multimedia products, is now offering the $500 PC-DVD kit that includes a DVD-ROM drive that is capable of playing CD's and CD-ROMS's and a Dolby Digital/MPEG-2 A/V decoder board; there is also a hardware coy-protection included so that one can also play DVD movies." What do you guys think? Jack The faster your computer is, the slower your life becomes.
