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...
