Gene, I have an 8424 & stock CD-ROM internal in my PM 9600. I haven't tried to burn CD to CD directly, as I usually make 'mix' audio CD's. I have heard that you want to have your CD-ROM be capable of twice the burn speed of your CDRW. The stock CD-ROM in my 9600 is 12x, so it might cause a buffer underrun when burning @ 8x. I just stage everything I am going to burn on an internal HD that is for that purpose (not boot drive). Maybe a little bit of overkill, but I have never burnt a coaster. YMMV.
