Reviewing System Features
CD-ROM Drive
Systems come with a 40X Max or higher variable speed CD-ROM drive.
Use the CD-ROM drive to load and start programs from a compact disc
(CD). You can also use the CD-ROM drive to play your audio CDs.
The CD-ROM drive operates at different speeds depending on whether
the CD you are using contains data or music. This allows you to get your
data faster and to see smoother animation and video.
DVD-ROM Drive
Some systems might come with an 8X or higher digital video disc
(DVD)-ROM drive. The drive offers many improvements over the
standard CD-ROM technology, including superior video and audio
playback, faster data access, and greater storage capacities.
The DVD-ROM drive uses DVD technology to read DVD discs as well as
standard audio and video CDs.

the front of the system.
