hi

i am looking into buying a dvd rom just for ripping ps2 dvd games only.
my question is should i buy a cheap 2x dvd rom drive i found for $18.00 US? in other words is 2x good enough just for ripping or do i need something better? what speed are you guys ripping at?

cuz i cant afford a dvd burner rite now..

thanks

2x is a speed relative to DVDs. Since the packing density is 8x over CD, this equates to 16x CD speed. So that's as fast as it gets with current technology.
