    Hi,

    Just got back into recording after a few years not watching the technology develop: is it still recommended to have your machine burn only when you're not doing anything else on it?

    My setup is Athlon XP2000, Win XP, 512Mb RAM, Nero 7, LG DVD Rewriter and a half-full 60Gig drive

    Many thanks,

    im no expert, but this is how i think about it

    if the burning program is constanly reading data off the hard drive, this is definetly going to slow down anything that needs anything off your hard drive

    so, yes if i were you, i would not try to play a video game or watch another dvd, or try to use any video or audio editing/rendering program, but if you want to listen music in windows media player that shouldnt be a problem

    ps, just open ie and browse afterdawn forums ; )
