Pretty much. I read these kinds of statements more as a measure of the
CPU power needed to run the bundled Windows apps.

One thing that no one has really mentioned is that there are just a few
manufacturers of CD-RW drive mechanisms. Most of what you buy will be a
rebadged version of one of these base drives.

Also, I can't think of any of the current IDE CD-RW drives that do not
support the standard MMC command set. This means it will be hard to buy
something that's not compatible.
