lol I already own the plextor 40x12x40 cdrw drive, i had it inported from the U.K. it's amazing! Only cd's that I have that work on the 40x speed at 40x are my TDK 16x cd's, TDk 24x cd,'s and TDK anyspeed cd's, I tried some other brands like memorex and maxell but they stoped at 16x(their max speed).
