Do I need a special video/DVD card if I only want to access data and music on a DVD? The SM is starting to show a bit of age in not having a DVD. The drives are cheap enough but the software & video cards are in question. I have a Rage Orien card which works well (also have an ixmicro I took out) but I saw a couple candidates on ebay one is the old 4DVD card and the other is an ATI Rage card from B&W or Yikes units that has a DVD decoder on it. Will this work in a SM? Will the card be just as good as the Rage Orien? I expece more data will be distributed by DVDs and I would at least like to read them. And maybe write to them if DVDRs become cheap enough. It would be even nicer if I could actually watch DVDS but not critical as I have a Powerbok with DVD. I have a SM 4000 w/Newer G# 300, 160 MB RAM and sys 9.1. The ebay reference for the Rage card is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2062908695
