Hello. It's not the HP 740b!My Lite-On at 8x beats the pants off of it.You didn't ask, but my opinion of LiteScribe is it's a lot of fluff. Media is expensive, etching (or whatever they call it) the disk takes a long time and I just prefer color labels. 01 Jun 2006 @ 12:10Antec TX1050B Case w/500W Power SupplyASUS P4P800SEIntel P4 HT 3.2 OC'd 3.85Zalman CNPS9500 Heatsink/CPU Fan4GB PC3200 Dual Channel DDR RAMNvidia 6800 OC'd500GB SATA Raid 0Lite-On 832 DVDHP 740b DVD
