I currently have the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104 installed in the upper bay, 
and the original CD-RW in the lower bay.  The CD-RW has not worked for 
some time :-(  Now I have this real big project (5th Grade Yearbook) 
that I'd like to make a DVD for the Class of 2005.  The problem is I 
cannot find DVD-R's that will work at 2x on this drive.  Even if I 
could I suspect they would command a premium price.  I have plenty of 
DVD-R's that are rated for 2x burning, so I plan to use them for this 
project.

The question is, then, since I'm looking at a minimum of 65 hours of 
burning DVD's, should I bite the bullet and get the $75 4x Superdrive 
(106) and replace the old drive with it?  Or spend a bit more and get 
an even faster DVD-RW drive?  Getting a new Superdrive is a no-brainer, 
actually :-)  Could I then move the old 104 into the lower bay and 
continue to get some functionality from it, and just what would I be 
able to do with it then?

It looks like a plan to me...  Worst case is it doesn't work and I swap 
out the CD-RW from the external FW case now on the G3 iMac DV SE and 
put the DVD-RW 104 in the case.

Any thoughts?
