I have read alot about people mostly using Darril's book and passing. What was your time frame from start to finish if you only used Darril's book?

Has anyone heard of training for Security+ though Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute? It is a program that is offered by DISA and I am eligible to take it. Its all online, with lectures, demos, labs and quizzes. The whole course is 49 hours, do you think that I should break those 49 hours into say 10 hours/week segments or just do 8 hours over 6 days straight. My background has not really involved much in-depth security. My experience has been mainly with Systems Administration of Win 2k3. Thanks for the advice so far.
