Given the low price of 16X Dual layer DVD burners at the moment (Bought 
one here in Australia about two weeks ago for AUS$59 (about $30 US)) I 
would not recommend anyone to buy a CDRW any longer. You can run the 
DVD-RW as if it was a CD-RW if you need to.

I use Audio/Dats CD creator to produce CD-Rs and DVDDAO to write DVDs 
with it.

It's an ASUS DRW-1608P3S
