Hi all Sorry for my english I ve a TBIRD 1.2 on an ABITKT7a After installing the SP1 for winxp, i ve seen many lags when playing games. I ve 256 Mo sdram 133 and the problem come when the program use virtual memory on the HDD. I ve dl HDTACH 2.61 and tested my HD : Over 50 % of the cpu utilisation !!!!!!! The problem appear only on chipset via i think, no problems on P3 or P4 platforms. When installing winxp without the sp1 I've a normal cpu utilisation but after a windows upgrade or installing the sp1 ..... I ve installed win2k with the Sp3 10 % cpu utilisation ! In games, when the virtual memory is used, i have micros lags every minutes In a french forum some people have done the test and it s not an isolate problem http://www.nvchips-fr.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=23336&pagenumber=1&perpage=30#bas I dont understand, i ve also tried to not install the via 4.1 drivers, but it s the same think ... Help ? or feedback Thx

hi ----> http://www.ntcompatible.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23055 Bye

ABIT KT7A REV A9 Bios ... The lastest ! But i don t think it s the bios, i said that 100 % of the guys with the sp1 and via and atlhon have the problem ! Motherboard asus, abit, epox ...

Not the via bus master miniport I think i tried all the solutions ://////

I tried everything !! All the last via 4 in 1 ! But i think the problem is a the default driver of via master bus miniport of the sp1 I wil test a fresh install with sp1 and the lastest miniport bus master 3014 from via At this time, 23 guys with xp sp1, via chipset and atlhon processor have this problem !!!!

May be it is a ram problem, may be my settings are too high in games but HDTACH don t care of that. With the sp1 or the just xp with some upgrade my hdd take more than 50 % of the cpu time to do a burn test !!!!! This is the problem and i don t know why ! With a new installation of XP the hdd take less than 10 % of the cpu, if i put the the sp1 ----> >50 % Games like Halflife (cs, dod) with lower textures have the same problem after some minutes of playing ! All the tests we have done in the other forums are the same ! ---> chipset via + atlhon processor + winxp sp1 have 40% --> 60% cpu utilisation Not with win2k sp3, not with winxpsp0 , not with win98, just the sp1 of winxp or the upgrade of winxp by the windows update !
