cd burner question...

Post by Henrietta »

I want to get a burner...but I have no clue what a good one to get is. I'm an ebay kinda gal...so if people could tell me (since there are infinitely smarter people here than me...) that would be greatly appreciated!

Brand names truly don't matter. Just as long as you get one with a warranty, I've never heard of any generic brands not working fine. Just get one with a high speed.

I went to Best Buy today and looked at em. I was basically wondering about speed and etc.

I wish.

Although, it's super-fast on the lowest burning speed.
