When CD-ROMs first appeared they ran at the same speed of audio at that time which is 150kilobytes Per Second (150kbps)..companies kept making them faster like 2x which is 300kbps (2X150) until they reached 8x, then the CD was spinning so fast that it would almost fly out of the tray...so that is the fastest a CD will run. When you see advertising that says 32x, this is a "theoretical" speed if everything was a perfect world, it does not go 32 X 150...hope this helps and now you know the real deal...
What else can I help you with?
Is there software that can be used to determine at what speed a CD was written?
yes, Nero CD-speed

What role does data on CD ROM play in determining the speed of a computer?
The CD ROM does not have any affect on the speed of the CPU or the speed of the Frontside Bus. The CPU and Frontside Bus is what carries data and the CD ROM is not connected nor involved with the speed of the computer.
Which number represents the read speed in a CD-rw drive of the numbers 32x12x48x?
In the notation 32x12x48x for a CD-RW drive, the first number (32x) represents the read speed. This means the drive can read data at a speed of 32 times the standard CD speed, which is equivalent to 4.8 MB/s. The other numbers (12x and 48x) refer to the write speed for CD-RW and CD-R media, respectively.
Why is 2x and 24x printed on CD-roms?
The speed printed on a CD is the maximum speed it can be reliably written at. If you tried to get a PC to write at a speed of 24x using an 8x CD, the data more than likely will be corrupt.
What kind of speed rates are used for burning of a high quality CD?
The higher the speed does not necessarily translate to a higher quality CD. The higher the speed indicates the amount of time it will take to complete the transfer of music to the CD. 4x is a speed that will create a good quality.
Which CD and DVD drives have the quickest writing speed?
The CD or DVD drivers speed is measured by xX e.i 24X. The higher the burning X speed the faster it will burn
Does the protocol speed ladder come with a CD?
No.
How does CD ROM affect the speed of a computer?
Here is the actual question: Explain the role of each of the following in determining the speed of a computer: CD Rom
Is 50X on a CD referring to the a faster access speed?
No, that's the maximum speed the disc can be reliably written at. If you tried to force the PC to burn to the CD at a faster speed, the data may be corrupt. It has no bearing on the speed the PC reads it at.
What is the fastest CD burning software?
There really isn't such a thing. The speed at which data can be written ("burned") to a CD is limited by the CD drive itself.
Manufacturers state the speeds of CD-RW drives in this order?
write speed, rewrite speed, read speed
