Why faster than 16X? It reads a DVD much faster than a normal CD. Normal CD's on this are read at about 7mb/s according to the box, and DVD's are read at 21mb/s. So why go any higher than 16x? They need to make normal CD's faster unless they all start to write CD's as DVD which I bet will happen some time in the future.
