What media? Which firmware?
If you have Nero, what does the Nero Info Tool show?

manufacturers usually focus more on DVD burning than CD burning for DVD writers. i never burn my CD-R's faster than 24x anyway even though i have a 52x standalone CD burner (unless im in a hurry and the datas not all that important).

youll have to settle with 16x, or you could go buy a standalone CDRW (what id recommend) since theyre so cheap anyways.

I have no problems burning CMC CD-R's at 48x. I think its just the media code not being picked up as the correct max speed in the firmware.
