I wouldn't go around spouting that if I was you. I had a lite on and had nothing but problems. There are also problems with those cyberlink drives and winxp. > >>Also don't be tricked into getting a 40x write burner. >>They are no faster than a fair few 16x write burners. > >If you burn a few CDs once a week or less, the difference won't be noticeable. > >If you burn 20 CDs at a time, you WILL certainly see the difference, >and _NO_ 16X burner can burn as fast as a 40X. The latest Mitsubishi 40x takes 6 mins to do a cdr 700Mb disk. My 16x burner takes 6 mins to do a 700Mb cdr disk. I have a second pc bought last week and it has a 24x burner and it also takes 6 mins. I use 24x Verbatim Datalifeplus 80 min media.
