If you have a 1.0GHz Durn processor, theoretically you should be able to burn that CD at 32X (burner permitting), have 10+ Mozilla windows open, all without a skip in the playback, or boggage. I have an AMD K6-2 450, and I currently can't do 1/4 the stuff simultaneously without music skipping as I could in other, anonymous operaing systems. Also, a simple ogg123 off of the commandline skips a little as well, when untaring something.
