Multitasking while burning?
 

Hi there,

Is it a good idea to do other things whilst copying a CD? For some reason whenever I have copied things before I have not been doing anything else at the time as a friend told me that copying is quite processor and memory intensive and that doing something else (ie surfing or word processing) could make for a bad burn or a buffer underun.

I now have a fairly robust machine (duron 800 with 256MB RAM) so I was just wondering.

Thanks for your help,

Nick

Unless you want to take the chance of making coasters,I'd wait to do other things.

Do it at your peril!!!!!!!!
Unless you have a Plextor with Burn Proof capability, that copes with buffer under/over runs internally in the writer.

small applications can be tolerated but disk access and processor time should be kept to a min.
