Thinking of adding DVD slot load...

I like to watch video on my ibook and thus far I've been limited to vcd, which is somewhat choppy at times, and mpg/avi/divx, which is wicked choppy; I was thinking of upgrading my cd drive to dvd. What do you guys think about the playback quality? Is it worth it? I found one for about $100.

Anyone have any suggestions about this? I'm just worried about getting it and it not have good playback for DVDs. Thanks.

Does anyone here have an iBook G3 500 White Dual USB with a DVD drive?
...and how is playback?

even if you have a dvd player it'll still probably be choppy how much ram do you have? If you upgrade your ram your videos will run MUCH smoother

128 Ram

I added a DVD player to mine and the quality was astonding. I recommend adding it and I was only running 128MB of Ram

I upgraded the RAM to max, dropped in the 512.


So, that good huh? Great to hear. I need to give it a go. Its really the only thing missing on the box that would make it perfect.

Oh, and is it as easy as adding RAM?

its very easy to add ram. Very simple under the keyboard installation!

I've already added the RAM, it was a slice of pie. I was hoping the drive was going to be just as easy and not mental like a HD slot.
