Eazy Cd Creator, multitasking and burning a CD?

[Dunbar]

I run EZ CD Creator 5 because for some reason Nero won't work on my latest box. I have pretty much the "latest and greatest" hardware out there - Athlon XP, 10k RPM SCSI HD, 24X Lite-On burner, KT266A MB (yada, yada.) Anyways, when I burn a CD I cannot so much as surf the web without my computer slowing like Pentium 90 loading Windows XP. On my older Athlon system I could surf while burning with Nero, is this a normal phenomenon with EZ CD?

This is going to get moved to the software forum....

What you're asking is whether EZCD-5 is more of a resource hog than Nero. I'd recommend you download Freemeter and study how resources are being used when you're burning.

Freemeter Home/download

you don't actually say what OS you're using but is the burnerer using DMA?

 

[Dunbar]

Windows 2000 and DMA is enabled.
