Win 95 included defragger is not a good option, it consolidates free space more than truly defragging the system. Norton Utilities offers customizability (it's a word because I say so). A separate hard drive partition or hard drive helps as well.

Let's just say it has less noise. But if you spent the money on the CD-R, you shouldn't hold back on the sound card.

A good card will have record levels for the inputs as well (Turtle Beach multisound products). Following this thread in to the present, does anyone have a utility for extracting data off of CD-ROM readers (IDE or SCSI) other than DIDO? I'm not copying music, it's for sampling and mixing (honest injun). p.s.: could someone forward this to the movable parts list? I don't have the address here. Ravis1 e-mailing from work. Travis L.
