My suggestion would also be to go with an external CDRW. I did the opposite. I replaced my CDRom with the Matsushita UJDA330 (8x 4x 32x). It burns discs fairly fast but won't boot from the CD anymore (I knew that might happen) I even tried the soldering method to change it from slave to master. That worked as ASP shows it as a master now, but it's still not bootable. Prior to that I had borrowed a friends IOmega ZIP 650. It's a 4x 4x 6x USB burner. After having used both methods I would stick with the slower but external drive. The main reason is that copying CD's (which I did a lot, mostly linux stuff) was actually faster and easier. You can get USB burners that are as fast as 6x and while that's still a little slow, it's better than a drive that's not bootable. I agree with Myron that the best solution is the Harmoni upgrade and a firewire burner. That's also whole lot of cash.
