probably to the lvl the cd tells ya most cd's take 16-24x :)
I have a 24X burner with 24X cds, and it works absolutely beautifully. One of my friends recently purchased a 32X CD-RW and is already having problems. Her computer is (I think) three or four years old, and it can't keep up with the writing speed of the cd burner. She kept losing CDs, so I went to go take a look at it. I ran a test and discovered that it burned at variable rates, generally fluctuating between 6 and 8X. I instructed her to slow her burning down to 8X and it works fine now. So, if you're gonna get a fast CD-RW, make sure your computer can support the transfer speeds, and buy CDs that are designed for whatever speed your burner is, for instance if you buy a 40X CD-RW, buy 40X CDRs. Just my advice.
