Oh yeah at least 4 speed write.
Go forth and purchase ye self a Yamaha
Seriously, I have a 4x/4x/16x Internal SCSI Yamaha CD-RW and it's excellent.
Had no problems with it, 2MB buffer etc etc.
You didn't mention if you were looking for IDE or SCSI, but both types are good.

I have an HP 8250i (4x4x24) and have had no problems.
Buy a Plextor 8432A IDE Writer!
Writes CD-Rs 8x, CD-RW 4x, reads 32x.
Works very well under Win2000 and has all
features you need!
