In number, 24X/10X/40X drives dominate the chart. But a 20X drive with a new lower price nabs the top slot.

A healthy $30 price drop this month lifts Philips's 20X PCRW2010 drive to the top of the chart. Other changes include two new 24X/10X/40X models: Yamaha's pricey CRW3200 LightSpeed3 gets extra credit for its massive software bundle, while I/O Magic's MagicWriter DR-CDRW2440 loses points for the vendor's thin support. With a bargain price and solid performance, the LG Electronics GCE-8160B holds on as the sole 16X drive on the chart. We're still awaiting the next-generation 32X drives; we'll publish test results soon after we receive such products.
