i can recommend another great cd-ripping software, which is free:
“exact audio copy” (www.exactaudiocopy.de)

The requirements for FLAC decode hardware are very minimal; encoding is the only CPU-intensive step. For Accurate Rip confidence, anything great that 1 is good and the higher the better. The application doesn't do a good job of explaining what that number means; it's the number of other people that extracted the exact rip as you did. So if all tracks on a CD give a confidence of 10, except 1 which has a confidence of 0, then there is probably a problem with that zero confidence track. If all tracks are 0, either the disc is heavily damaged or the CD isn't in the AccurateRip database. Bob, there is no difference on the decode overhead for higher compression levels.

One additional question regarding Flac compression. The default is dBpoweramp Setting is level 5. You suggested using the Setting level 8 although taking a longer time to encode. Can you tell if there is any more over head to decode the compressed file on playback given you must not first read the file from disk but secondly decode it? Also, What should I be looking for relative to confidence in the Rip? The AccurateRip confidence range for the tracks I rip range from 5 to 9 for a single pass. Thanks again. Carlton,
