If you have one, keep it. If you plan to buy a new burner, buy a more modern multi-burner that supports DVD-RAM (i.e. 4G drive) and the more mainstream CDR/RW, DVD+/-R/RW.

I think the Ricoh have a line with their MP5240 or the Panasonic LF-D521, altho I have only seen ads for these at Akihabara (the Tokyo electronics district) and have no personal experience on how "good" they may be.

Good Luck.
