New DVD Rom

I have a Dimension 4550 and want to add a DVD Rom or possibly replace the CD Rom with a CD/DVD Rom. Are there any specifications that I need to look out for to ensure that my new DVD Rom is compatible with my Dimension 4550, or will virtually ANY DVD Rom work with the computer I have?

Hi Budgiebird,

Any standard IDE drive should work fine with your system.
Here is the Dell User Guide, which also has instructions on Adding & Removing parts:

4550

Be sure to set the jumper on the back of the drive to Cable Select, not Master or Slave.

Happy New Year !!





God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
difference.
