Buffer size

Another question that troubles me
Is large buffer size always good or there is a special condition when it gives better results, and what is importance of this criteria with typical CDRW usage ?
Also, does buffer underrun prevention get harder to achieve with larger buffer size or it works the same way all the time ?
Thanx

large buffer size is always good, specially with older, less powerful puters/cpus.

does it matter between 2mb and 8mb?

I'd still prefer 8mb, but it's almost impossible to find one today ('cept Plextor)... but with modern, powerful puters it makes no difference anymore... will just get the new Lite-On (2mb buffer) myself tomorrow

With current drives and buffer under-run protection, it's almost irrelevant what size buffer you have. At 48x burn speed, it's the difference between a blink and a half-blink. Mostly it's a marketing tool.

If your after a cheap 52x32x52 burner, go with the LTR-52327S. If your looking for an all quality 52x32x52 burner, go with the Plextor Premium.
You probably won't be upset with the LTR-52327S if you get one, but, for me, the Premium is the only burner that satisfies my use.
