I heard the Core Duo had some new instructions to speed up multimedia, so I did a quick test.

The Test: Ripping a 54min Audio CD to iTunes @ 192k Mp3

For comparison I tested the Dell Latitude X300 which had a 24 speed CD Drive against the M1210’s DVD+RW, which for these tests was treated as a 24 speed CD Drive.

X300 took 8m4s
M1210 took 3m54s

Thats a fantastic improvement.
