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...
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.
Here is the actual question: Explain the role of each of the following in determining the speed of a computer: CD Rom
The number on a DVD ROM usually indicates it's spindle speed in regards to the audio speed when they first launched. 8X on a DVD ROM drive indicates that the spindle speed is 8 x 150 kbps per second.

1. Go to aquarium and go to the abyss2. the password to the abyss is blubber3. after you get the eye of rom, go to the cybermall4. go to wicked's store and trade the eye of rom for the speed wheels
First of All ROM stands for READ ONLY MEMORY the role of ROM in computer is to store all the Information about any computer hardware such as the processor speed, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives etc. It is a permenant memory which contains also BIOS (basic input output system) configuration and settings.
52X has nothing to do with the rotational speed of the platter. The 52X speed rating indicates the refers to the fact that the drive can read data off of the disk at 52 times the speed of an original CD-ROM drive. Original CD-ROM drives read disk data at 150 kilobytes per second, so a 52X drive reads at 52 x 150KB/s.
1x speed is about 150Kb per second.

150 KB/s.Reference:The first generation of "single-speed" CD-ROM drives were based on the design of audio CD drives, employing constant linear velocity (CLV) technology to spin a disc at the same speed as an audio CD which, with error correction, meant 150 KBps.Source: http://www.pctechguide.com/32CD-ROM_CLV.htm
