For what it's worth, I have an IDE CD-RW (made by HP) running on a
Pentium 200MHz with a mere 40 MB of RAM and I've never had my buffer
go under 87%.  

However, it only writes at 4x, and I don't do CD-to-CD or pipe mkisofs
to cdrecord, either.  But buffer underruns are, in my opinion,
definitely overrated.
