That's the 'buffer' (fifo). That's the "ram" that counts.

stripped down BX chipset. Copy stuff to that HDD, then burn from
there.

It's probly OK, but a P class chipset motherboard -not- BX should

I ust'a think the same, but lately burnin from the CL is easier,
quicker, and safer than any GUI. I recently thought Gcombust to be

man cdrecord and read the CD-writing howto. Unlike most docs,
they even include examples!! ;)
