Yep. Remember it's a PITA to replace the optical, so I'd suggest going for as fast a drive as possible. Since the cost difference between an 8x writer and a 24x writer can be only $10 or $20, it makes little sense to bother with a slower unit. Make sure the drive comes with a faceplate, some don't and it's virtually impossible to source one separately. One other thing. On a clamshell, the drive must set as bus Master to be bootable using the "C" startup key. Many OEM drives by default are set to Slave. It's not difficult to mod a drive to enable bus Master, but it's something to keep in mind. dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
