oaydin 0 Posted April 8, 2001 After beta2, I'm using XP as my only os now. So I started to investigate everything. The first thing I noticed is low harddsik performance. First I tried coping big files between my partitions. I checked with taskinfo's fat read n write. It's avarage is 7000 kb. That's is nearly 11000 kb with winme. Then I bench the hd with winbench99, again scores are %70 of winme, also sisoft's hd test gave the half of the score that gave with winme.... duron650@ 1027 158x6.5 Iwill kk266 686B ATA/100 128 APACER c 2,2,2 Western Digital 40gb 7200rpm -----Let the XP tweak begin----- Share this post Link to post
oaydin 0 Posted April 8, 2001 btw I forgot to mention, before xp, it was a nightmare to enable udma on secondary channel, with dma enabled I got lots of troubles coping data from cdrom to hd. I also had lots of problems with sblive. Now it all went away. Both channel's dma came enabled after installion and didn't give any trouble Share this post Link to post
isochar 0 Posted April 8, 2001 The problem is most likely due to/related to the fact you're using a VIA based board. I'm using a CUSL2 and have never had any hard drive performance issues or any DMA enabling issues. Share this post Link to post
oaydin 0 Posted April 8, 2001 Yes I'm using a via board and I'm using the AMD that means POWER ) Now the deal is somewhat different here, ide performance was great with winme, but secondary channel dma enabling was a problem, now that problem went but it's slower, so it's driver related, I'm sure that will be solved Share this post Link to post
