As seen on Tech TV; While the actualy spinning speed of a CD ROM may have no limit to its rotations per second, the physical disk does. After just 50x (or is it 32x? shoot, and I just saw the program the other day :blink: ), the G-Force will shatter the physical disk. So even if you see a CD ROM that says 52x or those ones that were out for a week that said 70x, it will NEVER go that fast or the physical disk will shatter and destroy your computers insides!
