Poor Performance in my WinXP RC2

[iks 0]

Hello there...

I am encountering bad performance in my WindowsXP RC2. Is is 'normal' or not? I mean:

[*]Logon screen images fades and moves very slov (like framerate=5)

[*]Mouse cursor stops from time to time

[*]If simple task is run, performance monitor shows high rates - CPU usage (Kernel Times) is very high

[*]...

My hardware:

[*]PentiumIIIEB with 256 Megs of RAM

[*]RivaTNT2 Graphic Card (32MB) Model64 (Yeah )

[*]Abit BX133 with ATA100-Raid Controller

[*]IBM 20GB 7200RPM Harddrive connected to onboard HPT370 controller

[*]4GB Harddrive to Primary IDE controller

[*]Pioneer DVD (Slave), Cretive CDRW(Master) to Secondary IDE controller

[*]Creative SB Live! Player 1024

[*]3Com Network Card

[*]USB ISDN Device

[*]WinTV Hauppauge TV Capture Device

[*]...

[/list:u]

 

Well... What could be wrong?

did you check if your graphics card has a collision with any other hardware?

I think its the RAID.

 

XP doesn't like anything running off my RAID at all, that why I have it installed on a seperate ATA 33 (Yeah I know!!!)

 

The symptoms you describe are exactly what I had when I installed beta 2485/86/95 on my RAID
