A 24x drive will write slower media much faster than a drive of less than 24x capability. I know, I have an Optiarc AD7240 which is blazingly fast in XP and would probably do just as well in Win-7.
It's not a good idea always to burn at the maximum speed of the media or burner. The slower the burn the better!
