Remember that just because a burner has a high top speed doesn't mean that you have to use that top speed. For example, the speedy 52x LiteOn will burn as slowly as 4x. So I recommend to even people with older computers that they buy a newer high speed drive rather than an older low speed drive. You can use it at lower speeds now if required, and at higher speeds later if you get a new computer. If, instead, you buy a lower speed drive, you will be stuck with that lower speed no matter what computer you put it in.
