Lite on 40x @ $68?

[dlaw]

Saw this from Newegg . Hope this is not a repost, as I saw it as 8x few days ago.

Edit: By the way, this is a full OEM, Retail is $70, and 48x is $100.

You can update the firmware to the 48X and burn at 48X.

So overclock your Athlon AND your cd Burner.

nice...

sucks to be broke already =(

So will the 48x can be upgradable to 52x or something? What' the limiting speed of CDRW drives? 48x? Since I think I will wait till the highest speed comes out and get one.

Is there such a rule that I should get a 2 times faster CDROM to work with a CDRW drive if I wanna do on the fly burnning?

Going from the 40X to a overBurnt 48X is just a trick, like overclocking your CPU, but just making the software push the burner. That and difference between the 40X and 48X is almost unnoticably. So unless you are running a 12X or slower a upgrade will see little results.
That and you need 40X CDR's to burn 40X or faster. That is why I run a 32X burner, I can run all those free CDR's I want.

I have a 32x Lite-On... I absolutely love it. Someone remind me how stupid I would be to buy this just to save like 10 seconds a burn... please?

Man, I bet the girl would love my old 32x, though...
