hmm my stupid 52X burner won't burn at 52X - GoFuckYourself.com

It can only burn at 32X, but i AM using 8X cds... anyone know why? maybe cause of this?

probably your computer is too slow. it might be related to the cds, but i've never had a problem over-burning speeds on discs. what's your system?

It is due to the Blank CD. I have a 40x. One batch of cd from one supplier goes at 32x, another supplier's stuff 40x.

that's not bad, but not great. a 52x burner needs to cram quite a bit of data through there. not only that, a 13gb drive may not be technologically advanced enough to push that bandwidth. try the cd's first, but have you tried a speed test with your system? nero and roxio i think both have those built in, i'd try it. you might be limited by your hardware.
