Doug, yes--the DVD drive does read CDROM's. You pop it in the little tray and it doesn't care what's in there (a digital versatile disk or a CDROM or a CD)--it just reads it and does its magic. Can't tell you the manufacturer cuz my system is in transit from Micron and it wasn't specified on my order form--only the fact that it was DVD II. Will let you know on arrival. What I CAN tell you is that I saw a DVD in action at Office Depot over the weekend playing a movie (some cops/robbers thingie with Richard Gere, don't know title). Lots of explosions, bullets, bombs and other morally edifying content. SHOWSTOPPER! Folks, including me, had their jaws agape. I've seen SVHS tapes on high-end home theater systems as well as laser discs--forgeddit. No mas. Toast. The DVD has incredible picture resolution, far superior. The sound sounded great playing through Altec Lansing 'computer' speakers with Dolby Surround in the store. Can't imagine playing through big boxes in a den, but imagine you'd have to warn the neighbors. Think Shane is right: LSI may make a few bucks off DVDs in PCs but the mega coin is in consumer DVDs. These things are gonna blow the taped movies out of the water on quality alone. Best, Mike
