I have an old 233mmx system with 64 meg of ram and a 3.2 gig HD. I'm =
looking for a CD-RW that will work in my system but I'm having a hard =
time finding info. The only likely drive I could find that looks like it =
would work is a Pine PT-CDRW-A2410BK.=20

Would one if these older 24x10x40 drives work? I'd like to use Nero, =
too, if possible:

Lite-On It LTR-24101 B/C

Sony CRX175E

Or...?

Are there any 32x drives out there that would work on my system? I =
couldn't find any. I was thinking max burn speed would be maybe 4-8x =
anyway, right?...

Two months ago I added a Plextor 50/24/52 to my main box, a 300 MHz
Cyrix MII with 64M RAM. It's not a latest-and-greatest model (1-2 years
old) but was new and cost only $80. I'm not saying it runs flat out
(I've done no benchmarks), but it works. I always specify 4X burn speed
for CD-RW and never burn CD-R faster than 8X anyway.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The main limitation is the software. Nero requires a minimum PII/300.

There is no hardware limitation with a computer of this spec, though you
need enough free disk space to make the image to be burned.

I use CD Record Front End from <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.demosten.com/" target="_blank">http://www.demosten.com/</a> which runs the
Win32 port of cdrecord. It can burn continuously at 16x on my Pentium
166.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
