You sub-system is more important than the speed of your computer for
writing to CD. If you can continuously feed 600K/sec to the CD recordable,
then you're fine. Any drop of data would create a coaster. You might be
able to write CDs at 1X or 2X (300k/sec) on your system. I have a SCSI CD
recorder, and I can work on many programs (e.g., Eudora, Photoshop, etc...)
while CD burning at 4X in the background on a Celeron 300a.
