Dunno if the burners nowadays are intelligent to detect the speed of the media and adjust themselves to it. Most prolly they can.

My Creative 6x4x24x is an "old" burner and it cannot. I remember when 6x was an awesome speed and all media was 4x. I tried to burn @ 6x using 4x media and the drive obeyed my command but it also made coasters out of those discs. I had to set the speed manually.

My new MSI 48x once copied a CD @ 48x and the next day when I created a data CD the maximum speed it allowed me was 40x or 36x (don't remember exactly). It's rather confusing.
