Latitude CPI 400r

I have a rather old Latitude CPI 400r notbook. Its got an older pentium 2 400 mHz processor with a02 bios revision ifthat any help.  I was wondering if i could possible purchase a cd+/- rw or even a dvd-rom for this particular model.  I would prefer it to be an internal detachable like the cd-rom and the floppy drive, but i could deal with the usb external.  The most important would be the cd burner possibility.  i can only assume the porcessor lacks the "power" and the grapics card lacks the "ability" to decently play a dvd somewhat clear and not chopped up. I understand this and was more wondering the possibility of the cdburner.  Thanks to all in advance.

    This CD/RW should fit your laptop. There is a DVD/ROM drive listed below the CD/RW drive.

    CD+/-RW burner will work fine but don't waste money on DVD drive. Your laptop is too slow for any DVD.
