The higher the number, the faster the disc rotates and faster transfer rates
for the drive...  It could take you an hour to load software of a 2x, but 15
min to load off an 8x...  The increase in speed also helps in the full motion
video and other things that run off the CD-ROM...

Speed Speed Speed! Pretty soon they are gonna start re-enforcing CD-ROM media
with kevelar so the things don't start disintegrating in the drive!

Warning Label for 50x CD ROM DRIVE some time in the future.

WARNING THIS DRIVE WILL ONLY RUN 50x media at full speed.
Please SHIFT THE CD-ROM DRIVE TO LOW SPEED BEFORE USING OLDER MEDIA!
FALIURE TO DO SO WILL DAMAGE YOUR DRIVE!
Oh And REMEMBER

        ALLWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THIS DEVICE        
 MEDIA MAY BE HOT AFTER USE, ALLWAYS USE GLOVES TO REMOVE 50x CD's
