when i burn 2 cds at a time using my computer at about 40x each, it takes about 8 minutes to burn the cd... with just one cd at a time.. it takes about 3 mionutes. is there any reason for this? also, my buffer fluxuates from 100% and decreases as the burn continues with my lg cd burner. with the lite on dvd burner (when burnign cdrs) its stays at around 98% is that bad?

Why does my lg start high and decrease?

Is that bad?

How can i imorove performance for burns?

just formatted my comp.. thinking my pc was too cluttered or something... but it didnt fix anything...

The Floppy controller is not an IDE drive. You're stuck with it as is unless you add a PCI IDE controller (and can get it working - they're a pain to configure since they need their own IRQ), or put one as a slave on the other IDE channel like this:

Primary Channel: Boot HDD, secondary CD-RW
Secondary Channel: Primary CD-RW, secondary HDD

You'll still run into lags since information must come off one of the HDDs and IDE is not a two way street. There is not way to control the bandwidth of a IDE channel nor can you change it from it's parallel form. So no matter how you configure your drives, you will run into this problem burning two discs at once.
