difference between CD-R 24X and CD-R 48X

[TippeX]

kinda, but 'recommended' means exactly that, i wouldnt personally advise buying 4x disks and burning at 24x, of course try it (its your expense after all) but in my experience it ended up being a successful burn (according to nero, with 'verify written data' enabled) but it died after a few days and isnt really worth the 'saving' the cheaper disks bring
