a point i 've never heard adequately
discussed before--
when it comes to cd speeds, what is the rule of thumb?  i have seen cd
rom's that can read at 2x and seen speeds at everything in between, up
to 50- something.
are the fast ones capable of handling data that was burned onto disc at
all the speeds that came before, but the slow ones can't take anything
faster than their own speed?
so if my machine shipped with a poky 2x is it stuck at that?
 and if i want to be able to read more
recent cd's, i should replace the original cd rom in my 6360 with a
faster
one? can i replace it with a cd rw?
����how do i know how fast is too fast for the machine? what
would be the max speed i could use on mine?

bus speed 40MHz,
cpu speed either 160 [natively] or 320 [with L2G3
sonnet crecsendo].
mobo scsi bus 5, external scsi 10.
cd rom is scsi, HD is IDE
