I just thought it'd be much more with an ATA100. I got more or less the same with my earlier motherboard, an ASUS A7APro, and without ATA66 - which would print a lot of CRC errors at boot time if enabled in the BIOS. The K7S5A doesn't print any and is rock solid. Maybe running it at 100/133 (and not 100/100) decreases performance ? I read is somewhere. I have an Athlon 1000 (200) with 2x256Mb DDR PC2100. -- 0@pervalidus.{net, {dyndns.}org} ICQ: 156552241 Tel: +55 (21) 2717-2399 (with voice mailbox) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
