Found some interesting stuff at this site as regards burning at 16x and above.

The finger of blame seems to be pointing towards the BIOS and/or any chipset drivers you may have installed on your system. Symptoms include your writer's l.e.d. changing colour when you burn - it may be going into "burnproof mode".

There's no doubt that with a spec like yours you should be writing at max speed.

Just an extra thought - have you got your writer and DVD-Rom connected as recommended by the writer's manual, usually:

Primary master = MAIN drive C:\
Primary Slave = not used or extra hard drive.

Seconday master = DVD-ROM
Secondary Slave = WRITER

Mixing hard drives and writers will almost certainly hit performance.

Hope this snippet of info helps you out :-)
