With both. The new DVD-RW she got that night is a Sony. It does it all, even dual-layer (recording), but not RAM (I think that's what it's called). It looked like a pretty decent reader for $80.
Check out www.CDFreaks.com for firmware updates for CD/DVD drives. Even brand-new drives ship with outdated or down-revved firmwares. Plenty of manufacturer's own firmwares are listed. Some drives also have third party firmwares that increase speeds, allow reading/writing newer formats, etc. Most of those third-party firmwares are first tested on the firmware writer's own drive so you know it has to be reasonably good.
