OT - About CD_ROM Burners

Sorry to be off topic, but I've been trying to do some research and I thought some of you computer guru's could give me some insight. I have a sony cdu-926s burner that has been discontinued for about a year now. I've always used 74 min/650 meg disks for backup of important stuff, ie gpl setups and replay files. I borrowed a 80min/700 meg disk to make a copy of Mandrake 8.0 iso file. The file is about 660 megs in size. I did a speed test and it only did 645.9 megs. Can older burners use the full 700 megs or am I stuck at 650? Is that what they call over-burning to use the rest of the 50 megs? If someone could give me a quick explanation or point to me to a good web page discussing it. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Anthony Brooks
