I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on the fastest dvd/cd players out there. I thought I bought a decent one until I ran a passmark performance test on it. After comparing my rating against one of the baselines, I saw that the baseline score blew my player away. (my score was .1mb/sec and the baseline was 3.26mb/sec). Thats 32 times as fast. unfortunately it doesn't give alot of detail on the brand used in the test. Could it be the interface? Mine is a IDE interfaced LG super multi-DVD rewriter model#GSA-H55L

Really would check if there was a chipset updated driver for this motheroard (mega slow cd situation). I have seen it before in various motherboards. Installation of some updated drivers can be easy some not so easy, so read the makers recommendations. (what you should look for is the ide/eide/sata controller drivers)
