Now i would to know, what is the best, MOST reliable burning program?

Nowadays multi-core CPUs are commonplace, so for processing, only one core is required to burn audio CDs.

Heavy disk access is likely to be the main danger, and even that needn't be too awkward if the 700 or 800 MB of data is stored in RAM, which nowadays is often 2GB even on fairly low-end machines (though some are still 1GB).

I've done maybe 20 to 30 audio CDs (mainly via fb2k's foo_burninate onto Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs) and a few DVDs also on my 2011 laptop with Turion Dual Core and 4GB memory and rarely stopped using my PC. I've not had a single failed burn, despite even accessing MPEG-2 (DVB-T) video from my disk yesterday before I realised that the re-Encoding of my videos to fit on DVD had finally completed and the Burning was nearly complete.

My system had even become somewhat corrupted and slowed down earlier this year (I've just clean-reinstalled Windows 7 within the last month) and still behaved itself when burning audio CDs.

(BTW, if you want to check your results, you could re-rip in EAC, in Burst Mode say, and check the CRCs against the ISO image)
