Hello i'm new to this website but not new to "Backuping up DVD's" Just want to say that this site [bold]OWNS ALL[/bold] and i appreciate the owners of this site putting it up My real question is i have a Mobile AMD Sempron Proccessor 28000+ 16000 480MB of ram thats cause i increased the VM Slimtype DVDRW SOSW-852S TYPE >> DVD+R/RW DL Recorder Firmware >> PSD1 Primary IDE >> DMA if available >> ultra DMA mode 5 Secondary IDE >> DMA if avaiable >> Ultra DMA 2 on the nero info tool it says i have Read Speed 24x Write Speed 24x But i only burn in 4x i really am not a hardware guy and i wanted to ask was there some kind of firmware like PSD2 or sometihng that can boost my burning speed ? I don't have any issue backing up my dvd's its just that i would like for my Burner to burn a little bit faster. i looked on averatec for firmware but it had nothing i checked google i got a lot of hits but a lot of the links were broken. Help would be appreciated Thanks joebaxter
I researched your drive and this is what came up. WRITE SPEEDS CDR CDRW 24X MAX DVD-R DVD+R 4X MAX DVD-RW 2.4 MAX READ SPEEDS 24X CD MAX 8X DVD MAX You can check this link for a hacked firmware for your drive. That sometimes helps increase speeds. http://www.rpc1.com. Hope this helps. Jerry
@ Jerry746 sorry if this is a dumb question i just flashed my firmware restarted my machine, ran nero info tool and don't see anything diffrent ? do you think i did something wrong ? or is there another step that i missed Thanks joebaxter
Hard to say off hand. Does Nero info tool show the new firmware version? It just may be that your drive is at its max performance. Run the nero drive speed test and see how you make out. Jerry
