    Are you using re-writable media? They always burn more slowly.
    Personally I get less coasters by burning at the slowest speed possible.

    Not been smart, but if it writes at 4 speed thats what its gonna be - 30mins for the 4 gigs. Your processor is more than adequate. My 16 speed will write a full 4.7gig dvd-r in 6 minutes.

    Just one thing. How can you have "nearly" 2 gigs of ram? Do you mean you have 1.5GB :rolleyes:

    The burn time seems to be ok to me. I agree with running the burn slowly ... let problems.
