Yeah you can run it without any problem.

It'll run ok untill u think bout multitasking while writing a DVD.

if time not issue while burning DVD's it should do fine..but then do not try to compare times with other

Just before clicking the burn button, bring up the task manager, goto processes and shut down all those programs like anivirus, media players, utilities which are eating up the memory, and all those tasks which reside in the system tray. At the end shutdown explorer too. Then, go on to write your DVD. It should go fine by now. While writing leave the computer idle.


In my old system, I used to startup in safe mode when writing a DVD

Totally Agree with u... Give the MAX system Resources To the Burning ... Best If u could all To it ..

Also Burn @ Slowest speed Possible ... Thats the key to Not to get a Coaster on a Slow system
