Help.. I'm a newbie

[jim in ohio]

I have never had a problem with memory, but I have always had more than I need, I have no experience with the USB burner, but the only coasters I have created with Micro Studio were with some bad media , and trying to write too fast. After you get the memory in try your 4X and go down in speed untill you get a good burn, if you get a good burn at 4X go up untill you start getting crap in your graphics then back off. I have a plex 1610 I read at max and write at 16X and get great backups if the origional was good, because I read so fast sometimes I get a better disc than the origional.
What I use:
Compaq 700mh Celeron
20 gig hard
windows 98 2nd edition
Plextor 1610
192 meg of memory
Micro Studio 2.312
and what ever is cheap media in spools of 100
I blow the burner out every 50 to 100 burns

I wish there was spell check on this forum!!!!!!
