4x is just the recommended burn speed. I burn stuff at 8x usually and have had just a couple of problems in the year I've owned my burner. However, I've never encountered a problem at 4x. So in the end, you're free to use the speed you like. Just remember, the higher you go, the more coasters you may end up with. Besides, even if you completely fill a disk, it will still only take about a half hour at 4x. Surely you can find something to do for a half hour while you wait.
if your pc is fast enough, around 600 mhz, it should be fine at 8 speed. thats what i use and i have no problems. i dont understand why some people have all kinds of problems and their machines are way newer than mine.

Mine's at 733, and I've only had a couple of problems in the past year, mainly with music CD's getting that 'skip' noise.

Really, it also largely depends on your burner. If you have a nice brand of burner, then you should be okay. However, if your like my roomate and buys a cheap unknown burner, you'll end up with a lot of problems. I don't think he has successfully burned a CD at anything higher than 4x, and his burner can go up to 12x.

its purely a memory issue. i never burn past 4x. anything higher is just asking for trouble.
