Well, I've got a pentium 120 laptop, with a pcmcia scsi adapter and a
246 cdrecordable drive.  32 meg ram in laptop, NOT running the most
recent x (i.e. not running kde or gnome), I can record CDs at 2x speed
reliably (think I did it at 4x speed, but not sure any more).  Even
using x (again, NOT using kde or gnome, since I don't have enough memory
for that).

Note that its a scsi cd burner.  YMMV greatly using IDE.
