Roger, for some reason i don't even think that DVD-RW drives can write to a cd even that fast yet. don't know though.

if they increase the quality of the cds, i bet they can burn faster...
just my opinion..
The Diablo II CD:s, known to be kept at full speed during gaming, sometimes shattered for people who played the game much.

yes, no-cd patches are good, but you sorta have to wonder.......
WHAT on EARTH is that diablo 2 cd made out of to be able to fly through the actual sides of the cd drive AND side panel.
What did Blizzard do, figure out how to make the litterally most deadly game on earth!!!!! one friend of mine said he was already playing D2 for a while, and when he took the CD out of the drive, he said it was so hot it felt like it was gonna melt.
Stadje found that today's high-speed 52x CD-ROM and 16x DVD drives stress the delicate plastic-and-metal disks they read. In lab tests at Atlas Copco Controls, spinning optical disks at top speeds - up to 30,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) - resulted in severe damage to the ceiling and the protective metal sleeve that encased the test spindle. At 52x CD-ROM speeds (27,500rpm) disks shatter in a "rain of plastic particles", shooting out long, sharp, knife-like shrapnel at half the speed of sound: "The result was a pile of shimmering plastic chips," he says.

Cd burning may seem faster than DVD but consider this:
3.1X DVD burns at 4278 KB/s
24X CD burns at 3600 KB/s
All this because DVD grooves are thinner and holds more info per inch.
