Dunno m8, but I do know that the 52X CDRW drives will be out in the next month or so.
I would love to see LiteOn kick Pioneer's butt in the DVDRW drive market though!
Let's face it, it's bound to happen it's just a question of when.
My m8 OC-Freak over at CDFreaks would know as he knows just about everything that's going on at LiteOn. But sadly he's just joined up with the Norwegian army for his National service and only has access to an old PC with a 28K modem every other week at his parents.
