I found the Artec 48x12x48x Internal EIDE CDRW W/Nero 5.5 Software
for $70. Is this a good deal since it comes with Nero 5.5? Has anybody had or heard anything about Artec burners? Thanks

If you can wait until the next Dell Home 20% off peripherals sale, you'll be able to pick up a lite-on 40x12x48 drive (comes with nero) for $41.76 shipped. There is barely any difference in the time it takes to burn a full cd at 40x and 48x.
Do all Lite-on burners come with Nero 5.5? That's why I was thinking about the Artec burner because it comes with Nere 5.5. I wasn't sure if the Lite-on did because it didn't say on Newegg.com?
thanks

yes, Lite on's all come with Nero. You can tell if it is a lite on drive if it uses Smart BURN or Smart Link.

Lite-On gets my vote.

that pretty much is the only difference. Depends on the brand of course, and how badly you need 24x CDRW burning.
