Uhh, I don't know much about CD-Roms but I happen to know that 8x's happen 
to be the fastest on the market today. What the problem might be is that 
your PC doesn't operate fast enough for the 8x. Although I doubt that. 
Another problem might be that you don't have enough ram memory. That, also, 
is very unlikely since you bought the system together. Believe me, 8x is 
fast enough for anyone's computing needs.
