The first release of Nero 5.5 caused problems w/ EZCD 5. Has anyone tried the update yet and can you advise if the prior problems are corrected. Given the problems that EZCD 5 causes w/ Win2000, I'm thinking of going back to EZCD 4 for audio and data and using Nero 5.5 for photo albums (and believe it or not, WMP 7.1 for ripping MP3's - did a test between that and EZCD 5's SoundStream - same rip speed). Last question, will Nero 5.5 and EZCD 4 co-exist together under Win2000?

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I hadn't noticed any sound quality problems with rips from WMP 7.1. When I tested, both WMP 7.1 and SoundStream were set to rip files to 160Kbps (setting under the Tools/Options/CD Music) EZCD 5 has a lot of nice features, but wasn't fully tested under Win2000. There are (known) problems creating data CD's under Win2000 that don't occur under Win98/Me.

IDGAMMA doesn't work under Win2000 Pro. Can someone recommend console commands to change the gamma settings?

Can't comment on the mobo, but with regards to the video, take a look at the Matrox Marvel G400 (www.matrox.com/mga) as this card is designed for digital editing.
