It works fairly well; I have a P3-450, and I can burn at 8x (the highest speed my burner supports) quite easily with a pipe. I usually crank up cdrecord's FIFO size to 16m (fs=16m) though, because I'm a cheap bastard and don't want to risk making a coaster :) -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
