Thank you ever so much your Lordship. lol . I wondered what the Buffer was
for , from now on I will close every thing down except Nortons. I have
512Ram. I just had 3 USB 2.0 plugs added to the computer at the back down
at the bottom. Had 2 1.2 at the back top and 2 in the front of the
computer, where can I go on the computer to check if the Tech has fitted
2.0 USB and not 1.2 USB. ?? Lionel.

Is not "necessary", but if your system is a slow one, or maybe low on RAM,
you shouldn't be using your computer while burning. By shutting down stuff
running in the background, you're freeing up more resources for the job to
be done uninterrupted. Unlike a copy to hard drive or floppy, when you burn
to CD it needs a continuous stream of data. If its burning, and the source
is coming in slower than the destination, its gonna hiccup and crash. That's
what the burner's buffer is for. It reads ahead and saves the info that
needs to be burned in the buffer. The burner takes the data from the buffer,
and the buffer continues to be filled.
There's a feature on most current CD burners now that enables the burner to
actually halt a burn until the buffer refills. Forgot what its called. But,
Plextor I think was the first with the technology, and now practically every
burner has some form of this technology on it.
