[QUOTE="JazzTrpt, post: 7987"] I'll address the DVD drive question first. I have an older G4 tower with a superdrive which I believe reads DVDs at 4x. I have absolutely no problem with it. I notice almost no quality difference between my computer and the dvd player hooked up to my television. Next, for that 1000 dollar price, you can get a pretty nice eMac which will breeze through the internet. Safari is a great browser and one of the fastest I've ever used. Only Camino comes close speedwise, in my experience. When you say multimedia, I assume you mean just viewing DVD's. I guarantee you'll be quite satisfied there. Burning is also simple if you need to do that. Word processing is easy and compatible with Windows. Games rock on the Mac. What I'm saying is that for the things you need to do, the eMac will be perfect. As far as being overkill, I would say no. My reasoning is that you won't waste time with system crashes. You'll also be able to complete tasks easier, and you can have fun while doing it. Good luck with your decision. Let us know what you decide either way. [/QUOTE]
