    was just wondering......

    how many cd/dvd's do you guys burn in a row (in succession) without letting the computer/drive rest and cool down?

    is there some standard number that you should stop at and give the burner a rest?

    i ask because i want to extend the life of my notebook to the max.....and don't notice much of a temp increase (cpu/hdd/general feel) on the notebook after burning 3-4 cd's , but want to make sure what the real deal is.....

    I think there is any problem in burning many disks one after another.

    I mean, I don't mean hundreds, but I've burned up to 10 without problem.

    You could install some temperature monitoring software to make sure things don't get out of hand.

    I dont think it really matters.

    I rarely have to burn more than one CD or DVD so maybe I wouldn't know.

    But my CPU usage never gots too high during burning like my old Athlon 1800+ did.

    It doesn't matter because by the time you eject and insert the cd/dvd a lot of heat is released.

    I burned 10 DVDs in a row once and it worked fine, no over heating or anything. Just put your notebook in place that doesn't constrict airflow.
