My CD-drive is dead and I need a new. I thought since I just got a full HD monitor I should get a blu-ray. But is blu-ray drives for BLU-RAY only or do they also run everything else, like games, installation CDs etc. etc. ? If yes, whats ur recommendations for a good drive? Personally I looked at this one: http://ca.lge.com/en/products/model/detail/supermultiblue_ggch20l.jhtml

They run and burn DVD's, CD's, whatever. They're backwards compatible.

Also I would like to know how a blu-ray drive connects? My motherboard is a nForce 650i. Do you need "newer" mobos to connect blu-rays?

Nope, standard sata connection. A 650i will have sata ports, just depends how many of the ports you are using now
