I have little respect for "benchmark programs". My practical experience
says otherwise. Never mind burning, or playing DVDs, XP on a 500 MHz
Celeron with only 380 megs of RAM is painful, in itself.
What I said, stands. The minimum specs stated on DVD burner packaging
is what they've worked out you need to run Windows OS and DVD software
at the same time, which *are* in excess of what I need to do the same on
Linux.
