What's his processor? And what bitrate does he use?

athlon 1.4 mhz
his cd-rw drive is 24/10/40
and thats what he uses for ripping
now this IS at 128 but its still ****ing fast!
and yes it was about 2 minutes for a full length cd
perhaps you feel its impossible cause macs don't get any where NEAR that type of ripping
my other friends pentium 4 1.6 ghz, with a 16/10/40 cd-rw rips at a max of about 20x
its gone a bit higher at times, but thats ususally the max
<strong>I just got 2.6x on a 333 MHz iMac on the same track I was getting 1.9x on my 300 MHz G3. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
Were there any other apps running? I always get slower speeds with other things open.

Wow, that seems to be pretty good compared to everyone else.
