48x24x48 vs 52x24x52 CDRW

[Saint]

i decided to upgrade my cdrw,
48x vs 52x price difference is 10USD in malaysia.
from articles of pc magazine i read, the write speed is not much different.
i think 48x is enough.

I recall reading the same thing, although I don't recall where I read it. 48x will burn your CD's plenty fast...save the 10 bucks and go to lunch after you buy it [:D]

48x and 52x are blazing and you won't see too much of a difference. I have a 40x and can write a complete cd in about 3-4 minutes.

Heh, I never saw the need to above 24 or even 12.... just get the cheap one. :)

I bought the Sony 48x24x48 cdrw burner, just 46 us dollar here.
Good!

To burn 650MB CD by cd-spying on the fly, it takes 3min 15sec if i set 48x recording speed, is this acceptable ?[?]

I read an article in Maximum PC about this same deal. You may want to search for it at http://www.maximumpc.com The actual difference is only by seconds!

I think this is up to you....[;)]
Currently I do it in about 15 min (I use an older Teac...) so you are way ahead....
