I bought a LiteOn 40/24/10 yesterday, installed it in my relatively low spec machine (450 Mhz celeron/256 RAM) and within 30 mins of getting it home had run off 3 discs (wrote a 450 Mb disc in about 3 mins) . Truly Les Ballons Du Chien. Cost £119 from a shop so probably cheaper from the net. Didn't have the same experience with an LG CDRW/DVD drive though. The LiteOn uses Nero which could not be simpler to use; I've used WinOnCd which was a little more hassle but still OK.
