My son has a fairly new system that includes a Plextor PX-755SA DVD drive on
a Win XP Home system. I'm more than happy with xp home and seen no need to
install Vista at the time of the build. It worked great until he downloaded
and installed SP3. It went from burning dvd's at 12-16X to .7-1. After
spending half the night downloading firmware, software, and driver updates
from plextor, all without any good results, i instructed him to do a system
restore. He notified me today that the drive is back to it's previous
performance level. I dont know if MS released this patch in hopes of causing
XP users to switch to Vista, but i wouldn't be suprised.
I also installed SP3 on my XP Pro system, but i haven't had a chance to
check and see if my system is suffering any ill affects from the update as
yet. Thank god for current backups.
