am buying a new system. it's tied b/n dell and gateway. I really wanted an integrated media reader (I work with a lot of diff. dig media). I wanted it integrated (which gateway has) b/c I had probs w/ my smartmedia usb reader (vv doesn't work well with it). dell will throw in a Dazzle mulimedia reader and they said (what salespeople) that this is better than integrated. if integrated breaks dwn--well then there goes the motherboard!
thoughts?
(I know, I know, I should just BUILD my own, but that's not happening this yr, so ...)
Thanks,
D

Vegas doesn't need to work with a media reader...just the media that gets downloaded through the media reader. Just download your stills into a folder and then open Vegas and open the folder your stills are in.
I'd buy a standalone media reader...the standards may change, new products, etc.
