The recommended system for this is a Pentium II 400MHz or higher. BAH, BAH I SAY! The target system for this beauty was my whitebox Intel 233MHz system running Win98SE. The end result? Well, I'm not getting 48x burns out of it, but I don't delude myself. What I *do* get is consistant 12x-18x burns. ...
...cache buffer has meant that I haven't had one coaster yet. The directions to install the hardware are fairly straight-forward, and mounting screws are included (but not mounting brackets). 5-10 minutes max will get you going.

Basic specs ************** Well, it'll read and write at 52x speed, which equates to 7800kb per second. On the first CDR devices, there was only a choice of one speed - 1x (150k/sec), which would take around 70 minutes or so to write a full disk. With the write speed of this drive it ... Read review
