Well, that's definitely better... but I seem to recall burning a full CD at 48x in about 2:35. Not to say that I'd nitpick over two minutes, but still. Is that right? What's the burn speed at 48x? I seem to recall it being 7.2 megs/second, which would make it 432 megs per minute, or 1080 megs in 2.5 minutes. It was a 700meg CD duplication, but that included time to write the TOC and all that stuff. I guess that sounds about right.

Regardless of whether it's 4 minutes or 2 minutes, fast CD-RW drives sure are nice.
