Hi if anyone can help i would be really grateful
I recently purchased a Philips 52x32x52 Internal CD-R/RW. I also bought some 52x cdr however when i opened nero 6.0 and attempted to burn the cd the highest speed that the disk could be read was 32X. Then when burning at this speed the buffer was dropping down to zero almost every 30secs or so. I had the underbuffer protection turned on so the cd still burnt but it took nearly 8 minutes to burn a 700mb cd. My old one that bust could only write at 8X times only took 10 minutes. I also closed all running applications to increase the amount of free memory and that didn't make any differnce. I'm running it on a 1.4ghz athlon with 256mb ram, 64mb video card, with a 20gb hard drive with 4gb of space free on it. The ide cable must be about 5 years old now but i don't think that makes anu difference. I also tried another brand of cd and that could only be read at 32x as well. Any suggestions why this is happening thanks alot.
