People who own a CD- or DVD-recorder will probably have heard of Nero Burning ROM and the company behind this software, Ahead Software . Ahead was founded in 1995 and is a privately held company currently headquartered in Karlsbad, Germany. Today, Ahead Software is one of the industry's leading developers of software applications and many OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are including Ahead's software with their recordable CD and/or DVD drives.

Ahead's flagship product is of course their Nero Burning ROM software. With Nero you can quickly create any type of CD or DVD disc you want and Nero now also comes with Nero Express, aimed at the most novice user. Other software products by Ahead are their packet writing software InCD with which you can turn your CD-RW or DVD±RW discs into small hard disks, meaning that you can quickly add or delete files from a disc, just as you would with a normal hard disk.

Other software by Ahead are for example NeroVision Express, a video-authoring application that not only supports DVD but also the VCD and SVCD formats, and NeroMix (Play&Burn), a multimedia CD creation tool that combines elements of CD burning with Internet audio. And that's not all.. Ahead offers even more software packages such as Feurio! (audio CD recording tool), EasyWrite Reader, Nero Media Player, NeroBurnRights, etc.

As said, Ahead's flagship product is Nero Burning ROM which is currently available as version 5.5. Recently Ahead has announced that their new Nero Burning ROM 6 software will be available on July 18th via their website while Nero 6 will be available at major retailers on August 18th. Since Ahead has built up a very good reputation with their Nero 5.5 software their new Nero 6 software is highly anticipated.

I have a question about nero, is it a resource hog? Like, is it hard on older and slower computers? I was using an old version of easycd creator, simple to the point of stupidity (this is a shared computer with even bigger n00bs than me), but it recently crashed and now I was thinking of hitting up a newer version of nero...

I use Nero myself and tell you the truth it isnt a resource hog on my part. I have it running on a Windows 98 with a 500 Mhz processor and I dont have any problems at all.
