Hello,
I was wondwering how valid a cd ripping speed test is for comparing system performance. Me and my brother thought it would be a good way to test all of the components in a computer.
To test, we ripped 'Bat out of hell ||(Meatloaf)" to mp3 at 192kbps on my athlon 2500 xp|a7n8x deluxe|512mb DDR "400"| Lite on dvd/cd-rw combo drive|Old, cheap 40gb Maxtor Harddrive and on his 15" 1GHz <A HREF="http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/72208/wo/x73SM5jadktR291SG6m1XrsxW3Z/4.0.7.1.0.5.3" target="_new"> Powerbook G4 </A>
The powerbook was almost twice as fast at ripping the cd as my own computer. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact timings.
