problem with tdk 12/10/32 cdrw

[JoeDaddy]

I've just gotten a tdk 12/10/32 cdrw and it has been hyped to rip audio at 24x. But the best I can get using AudioCatalyst is 14x. This is with DMA enabled/disabled. Any thoughts?

UPDATE:I also forgot to mention that while I am using AudioCatalyst in the box that says "Used CPU Time (Buffered Burst) it shows that I am getting around 200 possible speed problems for every file ripped. Is this normal?

24x is max
your cd might be uh short

um... what kind of system are you running?

Heres the skinny on my system:

Asus P3C-E w/ 256 PC800 RDRAM
P3750E oc'ed to 1ghz
WD 30gb 5400 hd
Maxtor 20gb 7200 hd
12/10/32 TDK
Ricoh MP7040S
Adaptec 29160 scsi card
Soundblaster live !Value
3C905B NIC
32mb Geforce 2 GTS

Thats about it.

I read on TDK's site that it does depend on the cd length, and that it can be anywhere as low as 9x up to 24x max. Well if I would have known that it would be 24 max instead of 24 standard. I wouldn't have bought it. But either way 15x is better than the 6x i was getting. Any more ideas?

Only reason why i bought this was to make my job easier while i rip and catalog about 400 or so cd's. Anyone else make something that rips audio cd's faster?
