ape agp
could the video card really slow load times though?

That was what I was going to try when I got home. I assumed that they were better. Now, how can I get rid of them?theacoustician said:Don't use the nVidia IDE drivers. In fact, the only thing I use out of the Forceware package are the ethernet drivers and the chipset drivers. Do no install the hardware firewall package, sound drivers, or IDE drivers.

If you're using integrated sound, the Forceware always seems to be 2 to 3 versions behind the mfr's version. I have no idea why they do this. The only way I know to make sure that Windows won't revert and try and use the driver is a fresh install.fly said:That was what I was going to try when I got home. I assumed that they were better.

Go into Device Manager and check what transfer mode your HDD is using. Its under the controller, not the HDD itself. If it doesn't say Ultra DMA 5 or 6, then that's a problem.fly said:I was afraid of that. Hmmm
And how do I check DMA errors? (All details and resolutions were set the same btw)
o. ya i checked that. it says 6.theacoustician said:Go into Device Manager and check what transfer mode your HDD is using. Its under the controller, not the HDD itself. If it doesn't say Ultra DMA 5 or 6, then that's a problem.
Only because its apparent that I have some sort of misconfiguration. THAT drives me crazy.bast_imret said:Is it really that big of a problem?
fly said:Okay, so we both get the same read speeds ~55MB/s. Removing the nVidia IDE drivers did not resolve the issue. I'm really at a loss here.
