Thanks for the reply.

I will flash the firmware for DL burning when I the DL media comes out, but that wont be for a while anyways. I just got done flashing my sony dw-u18a a few minutes ago with liteon 812s firmware, and flashing the DL firmware on to that. Although I'm new to building computers, I would consider myself a dvd burning expert

I think I'll switch to that p4p800 board instead. The only reason I opted for the p4pC is because these guys used it:http://anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.html?i=2021.:dunno:

Any suggestions for the ram?
