[/LIST] That's not the point. I use this benchmark just to find my problem, I'm not trying to improve the result, just a real transfer rate (when I move the data from partition to another). And if software like this (Firefox) causes the transfer rate drop so low, it's not normal, is it? I...

That's what happens when I run the benchmark and go AFK. This drop to 8mb/s was probably caused by something in the background, but shouldn't the transfer be steady even if I do something on my PC? I was downloading stuff on uTorrent everytime I ran the benchmark. Every benchmark shows the same...

I can't reinstall my OS ATM. I know what S.M.A.R.T. does, but I don't think that it will improve the transfer rate. It's more safe to enable it, I know, but I just don't need it. Isn't 32 bit data transfer already enabled in SATA? I guess it doesn't require this.. I'll give it a try anyway. If...

Mine drivers under VIA Serial ATA Controller - 5372 are: ViBusX64.sys ViPrtX64.sys vIdeInstX64.dll Cache writing is enabled

PCtreiber's BIOS revision. Windows 7 64 bit. I ran this benchmark before installing the Hyperion drivers, nothing has changed still I disabled those PCI-E settings. IDE Configuration, you mean the settings where you can set the DMA Mode etc.? They are all set on default, and 32bit data...

Windows 7, VIA Hyperion 5.17a, only 1TB HDD installed, 500W power supply, I didn't try with another SATA cable, and this one is brand new. My BIOS is the latest, and only my GPU is overclocked, but i don't think that's the problem. Every setting set in Chipset Configuration page is default.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong? It says its on UDMA Mode 6, i had similar slowdowns on SP1203N, and it just becomes more annoying..

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean British pound :P Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 costs 75$ on newegg.com, and converting to Euro, it's 57€. This HDD is available to buy on our action websites for 248 PLN (if you don't pay for the delivery) which is 57€. They include SATA cable for free, you can find...

It all depends where you live. Here, in Poland, ST1000DM003 may be the best choice when you want a cheap and quite fast HDD. WD drives are more expensive, most of them cost more than 70£. I don't think that reviews have to do anything with how long the drive can live or something like that. I...

Thanks for the response. I know it will run on other mobos, I just wasn't sure about this one. SATA cable is included with HDD. Many people recommend this drive, so I didn't even look up WD drives. I heard many negative opinions about WD, but you know how it works. Not every product can be 100%...

So it can't work on Sata II normally? It runs SATA 3.0 GBps according to official site information. I don't know if there will be any option to change the firmware or something like a jumper. ..Or did you mean 775dual-VSTA? It has the SATA 1.5 Gbps connector. Once again: I want to buy a HDD...

Has anyone tried to use a SATA3 HDD with this mobo? I know its backwards compatible, but you know.. this chipset is experimental. I'm planning to put ST1000DM003

i cant go any further than 286 mhz without any mods.. i turned memory flexibility on, i couldnt go even for 270 fsb with this option turned off.. damn any tips? i set my ram to 533 mhz, and tightening ram timings didnt give anything, cpu-z shows fsb:dram 4:3 and the frequency is 215mhz, 3-3-3-9

okay, i run a heaven benchmark (it was hard to find any good 3dmark score with that gpu and similiar pc) and got this score: http://i.imgur.com/hfgDE.jpg i found another benchmark result made by someone else on other mobo: http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2686085900_1325537414.jpg so i guess its a...

thats great news, i expected it to perform like GDDR3 version, so i guess i dont have to buy new platform so early :D single core processors are not a problem since you can buy a good C2D for like 20-30 euros, lol edit: will sata 3 hdd work on this chipset? __ i just got mine hd4850, getting...
