Duals and win2k pro
I have a Dual P3 550, 256SDRAM, SBlive!, i740, Promise ATA100, IBM DTLA 15GB. On a QDI BrillianX 4 mobo. In linux my system runs sweet. . . . but as soon as i go to Win2k Pro everthing starts pissing me off.

In linux my system runs sweet.... but as soon as i go to Win2k Pro everthing starts pissing me off. The system starts to run at the speed of a 200, when I play multi sounds or movies or any sounds whilst accessing the HDD stagger. And it doesn't do in Linux or WinME. And games and progs just run generally damn slow. Nothing is unstable it is just that it is sooo sooo soooooo SLOW.
Can anyone help me? Is there issues with duals, SBlive!...... please help.
I've tried a differnt sound card, RAM, vid card, onboard controller, HDD. ( everything but taking a processor out )...
cheers, Ian

Do you have the latest bios on your motherboard. Their were some bios versions for the BP6 that would cause this under W2k so it's possable that other motherboards have the same problem.
Flashing the bois with the latest is not always the best either. The bios on my BP6 is not the latest because the latest bios breaks a few things under W2k.

1.) Is your motherboard bios updated?
2.) What is the RPMs on your HDD?
3.) Howmuch RAM do you have free when in taskmanger
I think it's the motherboard. How old is it? Plus did you make your RAM setting in your bios Automatic or manual?

It is a 7200 RMP HDD. The bios is the lastest version becuase the mainboard needed this otherwise the PIII 550's were not able to be used. They are the max that the board supports. The board is about 2 1/2 years old. It was only running one chip until about a year ago. And there are no RAM settings in the bios that I know of, ie for setting the amount of RAM.
