[QUOTE="pitt1717, post: 435648, member: 33695"] ok. heres the deal. im a switcher (even from a thinkpad) and im on my second MBP today. brought the first one back due to an extremely slow super drive. first one was a matshita...this one is a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N. they both sound horrible when loading disks, and it seams both are slow. takes 12 minutes to burn dvd iso's. image is only 3.4gig. anyway i bring this up as coming from windows im used to fast burns. this is almost unacceptable. are there any utilities to test the drive or show speed that its burning at??? -using disk utility to burn -used activity onitor to try to gauge but need something idiot proof to show me the speed a little off topic, but again, new to mac. how do you set the speed of the airport card. what if i only want to connect as b, g or n???? and is the card that comes in the new mbp A also? sorry for the long post but im a new mac guy, used to all the windows utilities [/QUOTE]
