VGS and DVD

Backet_Case · September 14th, 2001

I've installed VGS on my friends comp and when we played GT2 it kept freezing. All I know about his comp is that it is a k6-2 533 and that it has a dvd drive. Is VGS sensitive to DVD drives or the k6-2?

Thanks

I feel sorry for you, a whole bunch of people have looked at your topic and not replied. I've got a DVD drive and it works fine. I'm not sure what the problem is. It's possible VGS doesn't play GT2 all that well, but that seems unlikely. I'd say that his computer has problems or VGS just doesn't like GT2.
Sorry, I don't really know. I'll try to test the pal version for you.

its could be the CPU, I heard there were some issues with certain batches of the older AMDs.

sure it aint 7x?

**fivefeet8** · October 8th, 2001

I doubt there is a 70x dvd drive yet.. The highest I have seen around here is 16x.. I got a 10x dvd drive myself.. 70x cd drives do exists though, but not 70x dvd drives.. DVD drives measure data throughput different than regular cd drives.. My 10x dvd can actually go to 32x cd rom speed.. The 10x dvd is just how much data it can read off a dvd medium.. Regular cds will be read at 24x or 32x cd rom speed..

u sure there are cd roms that fast? the fastest i have seen was like 56x i think....

**Ryos** · October 8th, 2001

There are a few CD-ROMs that are past 70x, like Kenwood's 72X TrueX CD-ROM drive, but not too many. DVD-ROMs are not nearly as fast just yet. Maybe in a couple years...

Vidhath · October 8th, 2001

couple of years?
less than that id say.....
maybe late next year

we are talking about the read speed,right.

i cant believe your saying my drive doesn't exist, oh well
