What exactly is a "Multisession" CD-ROM drive?  Why would I want my CD-ROM 
drive be multisession?  I was told by a sales rep at Micocenter that a 
double-speed CD-ROM drive is necessarily multisession.  Is that true?  I am 
skeptical of things that not-so-knowledgable sale people tell me.

What is the performance difference between a CD-ROM drive that has 32K RAM 
buffer vs. one with 64K RAM buffer?

Thanks in advance
