Go read your other post on this....

What is saying your CD is stuck at 40X?

[gokovav]

i am not sure read write stuck 40 x is because of motherboard bios,firmware,or what?
in normal conditions can i wirte and read 52 x with my motherboard and bios now?
thanks

I think you're expecting too much of the i440LX IDE controllers. Chipset limit most likely, and you need recordables that are rated for 52x burning too.

[KachiWachi]

I meant what program are you running that is saying 40X and not 52X...

[gokovav]

nero and esay cd

[edwin]

If both are saying that it's most likely the recordables that are limiting it.

Last warning. Post another thread about this and you're history.

CD/CD-R: CAV 40

so it's running according to the specs from the manual. Nothing wrong with the board, or the CDRW/DVD, or the recordable media. Typical PEBKAC problem if you ask me.
