you need a RW (rewriter) if you want to burn

the CDROM and DVDRom just play

I'd go for the two drives - RW and CD rom (the one where you pay 11.75 - sorry!)

then you can copy cd's easily (one in the drive, one burning)

me too.

or thr 48x DVD/CDRW (which writes and reads cds and plays dvds).

Thanks enid....so would the Dell recommended one not burn cd's? (audio)

no.
