Would a PC Rom bought in Ireland work in Australia?

Ciaran500 · 28-03-2005 4:07pm

Yes.

It spins the other way around though.

CD will work, but DVDs are a no, unless you have a multi-region dvd player (we are region 2, australia is region 4)

Bearing in mind that this referes to DVD movies, not data DVDs.

What about a PC DVD Rom?

Your original question says "pc rom". Do you mean, cd rom? If so, then you wont be able to play dvd's (of any kind) in it.

Brian017 · 28-03-2005 4:28pm

Thanks for clearing the confusion up.

I'm confused. People are saying two different things.

These are all Australian jokes "Down Under"

, your cd-rom will work fine but a Dvd won't due to different region codes

shouldn't be too much of a problem unless there is a major problem with the CD rom drives motor.

If it's a copyrighted CD there may be other factors, eg: If XP is already activated in Ireland you can't just expect to activate it in Oz as well on another PC.

Oddly enough there was a time when monitors were factory calibrated differently for use in the southern hemisphere.
