48x on 1.0 ghz?

so i salvaged a 48x cd-rw drive from my friend's comp after he upgraded his stuff, and i installed it on my old crappy computer, which is PIII 1.0 ghz, 128 mb sdram, 32mb geforce2, and originally had a 8x cd-rw drive. i swapped the 8x with the 48x from my friend's old computer, and i tested it by burning a cd...but nero said "buffer underrun error". is a 1.0 ghz computer too slow to burn at 48x? or is something else causing the buffer underrun error?

Buffer underrun errors are caused when the CD recorder isn't getting information to burn as fast as it's burning the information.

It's probable that your processor isn't supplying your burner with enough information. Try killing off all other programs or ratcheting down the burn speed.

the culprit here isn't that your cpu is too slow. I still use a 52x cdrw in my 1Ghz PIII. The problem is the amount of memory that you have. 128 is fine on your 8x cdrw simply becuase the write speed on it isn't very fast, so its not going to be trying to access everything out of ram as quickly as your 48x. again the cpu is not the issue, simply give it another stick of 128 and you'll be fine.
