As I write this, I'm ripping (my own) CDs using abcde 2.0.3-1 cdparanoia 3a9.8-4 libcdparanoia0 3a9.8-4 libcdparanoia0-dev 3a9.8-4 lame 3.91 This is on a system just like yours: 1GHz Athlon-C, 768MB RAM, and running mozilla 0.9.9, gnome 1.4 & evo 1.0.2. Ripping a song just takes few minutes (but then I'm ripping classical CDs with very long tracks).
