My computer came with an 8x4x32x CD-RW, which I upgraded about a year ago to a 42x12x48x burner. Ever since I got it, I've never been able to burn a disc in less than 15 minutes. Even when set to function at 42x, it still takes around ten to twenty minutes to create a CD, whether I'm copying, burning audio, or burning data. Recently, however, Nero refuses to recognize that the drive is faster than 12x, and my disc burn ing tomes are closer to 20 minutes. My system is a Athlon T-bird 1.33 with 256 megs of DDR and a 7200 rpm HDD. I have suspicions about a lousy IDE bus, as the computer is a Compaq and doesn't use a great motherboard, but would that cause it to run this slow? Please reply with any suggestions
