DVD-ROM BECOMES AVAILABLE

Digital video disk (DVD)-ROM have over 4 GB of memory, and can run high quality MPEG-2 video and Dolby AC-3 audio. With these features, they are likely to ultimately replace the CD-ROMs and that is the reason that many people are waiting for them. If you are among those who have been impatiently waiting for DVD-ROMs, you do not have to wait any longer. DVD-ROMs have become available from a variety of vendors (listed below). If you are determined to purchase a DVD-ROM, bear in mind that the newly introduced DVD-ROMs are expensive, are only as good as x8 or x10 CD-ROM drives, still have to resolve the compatibility issues and that not too many softwares are available for them.
