Lite-On 24x10x40.
The 32x drives should be coming soon, though..I'm going to wait another couple weeks before I order a 24x.

ok, thanks
the 24x drives burn a full cd in like 4 minutes or something anyway...i dont think paying $100 more for a new 32x drive and waiting like 60 seconds less for every cd is really worth it

The Lite-On 32x should have Mt. Ranier support as well, though.. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif I doubt it'll be $100 more, though..considering the 24x is only $93..Quote:

The Mt. Rainier standard enables native OS support of data storage on CD-RW. This makes the technology far easier to use and allows the replacement of the floppy. The Mount Rainier open standard is promoted by Compaq, Microsoft, Philips, and Sony and is supported by 38 industry leaders: OS vendors, PC-OEM's, ISV's, chip makers, and media makers. Oak Technology has been involved in the development of the specification and is one of the supporting members.
