from the Kodak Site: With KODAK's announcement on January 24, 2002 that it is discontinuing its CD-R media products, it is no longer possible to place custom orders for Gold Ultima media.
Looks like Kodak CD-Rs are going extinct...

The Ultima Gold CDs have a writable side that is, well, gold colored, and the writable side on the silver-gold CDs is silver nor gold (but in between). The Gold CDs are better, hence they're more expensive (and hence the lifetime warranty).
The Gold CD-Rs are my personal favorites, never had problems with 'em, even with CDs which I have used almost daily for two years.

Thanks for the reply Crazy Bob but one question still bugs me:

When u take the two cds in your hand and compare them , the gold cds are much lighter and seem of lesse quality than the silver-gols ones...

Strange isn't it , or is it just me ????

What do u think Crazy Bob ???

AFAIK layers of gold on CD-Rs are very thin, because of price issues (who would buy really expensive CD-Rs?)

I don't know about Kodak Ultima Gold, but
I've used the Kodak Ultima Silver/Gold CD-Rs a lot (as TY and Mitsui are difficlt to get in my area) and haven't had any problems so far. They are working well with my Teac-, Creative- (Lite-On?) and Ricoh-Writers and are readable by all CD-ROMs so far
