I have been using a Yamaha Lightspeed 16-10-40 and w/ cdparanoia I get
about 3x or 4x using a P!!! 800EB w/ 512MB and Mandrake 7.2.

YMMV,

She can kill all your files;
She can freeze with a frown.
And a wave of her hand brings the whole system down.
And she works on her code until ten after three.
She lives like a bat but she's always a hacker to me.
