Maximum CD burn size?

I have a MBP. I am considering buying a spindle of high capacity 90minute (800mb) CDRs. Do not confuse this with 80 minute (700mb) CDRs, which I have found to work just fine. Anyone have any experience with the 90 minute CDRs on MBP or Powerbooks? I wonder what limits, if any, Apple has put on CD burn size. Anyone?

Thanks, you guys have always been extremely helpful in helping to answer my questions.

Never heard of them. Can you buy just one or two to try it out?

I'll get to this some day. Just yesterday I sent my MBP in to have the screen inverter fixed because it would buzz incessantly if it wasn't on 100% brightness.

I'm pretty sure that Apple's built-in Finder burning functionality is limited to specific standard sizes and will not do "overburning" on discs like that. It's worth a try, though.
