    that's it. need new cd-rom. any suggestions?

    alright, my cd-rom is dying. it still installs MOST games but takes forever and makes a horrible clicking sound when doing so. many times i will see the hour glass icon up to 3 minutes befor installshield starts!! I can't get ANY sims/sims expansion games installed as the cd rom just locks the pc hard!!! ahh, sorry 'bout that i had to get that out of my system as my wife is tired of hearing of it. thanx.

    anyway, i got my eye on a sony 52x cd rom for $32 at Best Buy. any suggestions. keep in mind that my cd-rom even when new would take literally up to 18 seconds to even spin up once in the drive!! I am looking for one that once the cd is in the drive it gets going!!!

    thanks in advance all!!!!

    ps. any of you use the yamaha 72x cd rom that splits the laser up for ultimate speeds? i've been looking at that for the high end. thanks
