Particularly after long burns at maximum speeds. If you have an early Superdrive (DVR-104, for example), or a same- generation DVD reader/CD burner (Matshita, for example), it's high time to get a current burner. For an old PATA-only G4, Lite-On has a 20X burner that does everything but eat, and it generally retails for $20 at NewEgg or TigerDirect. Usually burns at 16X, though. Even better, Samsung has a 20X burner which really will burn that fast. Or, of not at 20X, then at 18X. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
