And are you running any CDs and if so, what kind of decoder does that
drive use...hardware or software?
Also, to anyone....are there any measurements published (or better yet,
an interactive screen with space for lots of input) that quantize the
performance hit one gets in a software decoder vs. a hardware decoder on
an optical drive, for a given sampling of 'typical' non-networked
configurations..
Thanks,
Monte
