granted a 2x does sound slow, but bluray reads much much faster. so the disc doesnt need to spin as fast and the system doesnt need to work to keep it spinning at that speed. it helps everything. i think a 2x bluray is pretty much equal to a 16xDVD. i had read something on it being faster.
now no doubt they'll prolly make a 4x Bluray drive eventually... but i dont see it going that much higher. wouldnt do it any good to spin that fast.

Yes and I do know that the read rates are higher with Bluray because its a larger format.
I'm not that idioitic to not realize that a 2x cd-rom drive doesnt read at the same speed as a 2x dvd drive.
