Teac CD Burner Compatibility....
Hey all, new to the Dell Community Forum. Wife wants to buy a CD burner for music and maybe a few photos.
We have a Dimension 2300 serv. tag 55GY221 purchased in late 2001. Looking on Dell's website for new peripherials, I see they have a Teac 52/32/52X CD-RW Internal drive for sale.
My question is, can this drive be installed in our 2300 without much hassle,(I will do it), and is the Nero software that comes with it as good as Roxio?
Thanks for any replies
Bob J.
Thanks for the reply. I knew I could probably find it cheaper elsewhere, but it's a 40 mile drive from here to any (electronics) stores, and we don't go to Wal Marts. So basically it's alot easier just to mail order from a known source even if it's a few $$$ more.
Thanks again, Bob

Hi Bob J,
The price tag of $34.60 is not bad, however adding 5.50 for shipping plus tax (for my state) 2.01, total came to $42.11. You usually can find a drive locally, example Office Depot, Circuit City, Sams, Wal-mart, etc.. for around $30.00 or less and save the shipping cost, but to answer your question, yes the TEAC should work fine in your system.
As for installation, click on the CD/RW link in my post, acroll to Section 4. Drop down to Dell`s Speicifcation pages, follow the link for the 2300 and you should find instructions under Adding & Removing parts.
Good luck & best regards
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
difference.
