I said, 'I suspect'.  I didn't state it as fact.  I would have thought
that reducing the rotational speed of the disc by half would allow the
laser to record more clearly defined pits in the recording surface.

Look at:

Subject: [3-31] Is it better to record at slower speeds?

>Aren't you meant to know a bit about electronics ?

If that's a reference to my .sig, you couldn't have read it very
carefully.  I didn't produce the FAQ, but host a mirror site on behalf
of www.repairfaq.org.  I certainly don't claim to be an expert in
electronics.

More willy waving.  Petier was right - an overclocked PC is the modern-
day equivalent of the boy-racer in his modified XR3i with a standard
engine, a 8 inch exhaust tailpipe and go-faster stripes.  

I suppose you've got to beat off nubile young women with a shitty stick
once they find out about your overc(l)ocked Celeron?
