Dual Layer DVD Shootout - ASUS vs. Gigabyte 16x Recorders

Author: Cameron Johnson SUMMARY: Today we step aside from the usual motherboard or processor review and take a look at two of the latest DVD burners to emerge from two large Taiwanese companies, ASUS and Gigabyte. Both drives support DVD burning at 16x and both support Dual Layer burning. If you're on the market for a new DVD burner, one of these might be what you're looking for.
