Well here's the story,
 
First of all here are my system specs.

CPU: Amd 1.4Ghz
Memory: (1) 256MB PC2100 Unregistered DIMM
CD-ROM Drives:

Secondary Slave -- Pioneer 107S (7X DVD Slot)
HDD:
Primary Master -- Maxtor 30GB 7200RPM UATA 100
Primary Slave -- Empty (IBM 60GB 7200RPM on order)
AGP: Geforce2mx W/TV-OUT
PCI:
Slot 0 -- Empty
Slot 1 -- Sound Blaster Live 5.1
Slot 2 -- Empty
Slot 3 -- Empty
Slot 4 -- Linksys 100TX NIC
Slot 5 -- Empty
Raid: Enabled
Floppy Drive: Disabled (floppy drive? we don't need no stinking floppy)
 
OK so this is what is happening. I installed XP this morning. everything seamed to work great. I didn't install any drivers no proformance hits. About 12 hours in while talking in Bersirc I got a coredump. After re-start I noticed massive lag and audio skipping. I then looked at the Controler settings. My HDD was set to PIO
I then looked at the CD-ROM's they were still UDMA. I downloaded all of the drivers from Abit, no improvement. I then thinking from past experince with the udma on the BP6 I disabled the Raid controller and everything went back to normal. I was planning on using the controller so if anyone has any idea of a trick so that I can re-enable it without going back to the dark ages in terms of HDD transfer it would be great! Thanks,
