Need CD-RW for old system

I have an old 233mmx system with 64 meg of ram and a 3.2 gig HD. I'm =
looking for a CD-RW that will work in my system but I'm having a hard =
time finding info. The only likely drive I could find that looks like it =

Would one if these older 24x10x40 drives work? I'd like to use Nero, =
too, if possible:

Lite-On It LTR-24101 B/C

Sony CRX175E

Or...?

Are there any 32x drives out there that would work on my system? I =
couldn't find any. I was thinking max burn speed would be maybe 4-8x =
anyway, right?...

Two months ago I added a Plextor 50/24/52 to my main box, a 300 MHz
Cyrix MII with 64M RAM. It's not a latest-and-greatest model (1-2 years
old) but was new and cost only $80. I'm not saying it runs flat out
(I've done no benchmarks), but it works. I always specify 4X burn speed
for CD-RW and never burn CD-R faster than 8X anyway.
