Well, What i think he means about digitally ripping, is that (i'll use windows terms, since i've never ripped under freebsd yet) you can use 3 types of ripping: analog, software driven (i.e. mscdex), and hardware driven (i.e. aspi) I'm not exactly sure how that all translates into unix terms. YOU're probably using the mscdex method. do you HAVE one of those 2-pin connectors i mentioned? The hardware ripping gives better sound quality, and it's faster (yes, even better than standard cd-audio). Only more modern cdroms support this hardware method, and your soundcard has to support it too. Anyway, as for power supply, there was a message earlier in this about how early athalon boards DID require a 300watt powersupply, but more modern boards (like the epox) will work flawlessly with a 250watt. It doesn't have to be some special one either... any will do, as long as it's ATX :) -Jesse --- Haikal Saadh <wyldephyre2@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > CD ripping: I haven't gotten it working myself, in > > FreeBSD, but i happen to know that with most > modern > > QUALITY IDE cdrom's, you can rip in cd-digital. > This > > DVD drive i have certainly will.
