Bottleneck System

[Id studios]

Team,

I have recently purchased a system. After careful consideration, i seem to have looked past the bottleneck issue. Can you guys have a look and i suggest improvements or eliminate sections of bottleneck.

Intel P4 - 3.4 (lga775)
Gigabyte GA-8ANXP-D
Asus X800 XT (Pci-e)
Kingston DDR2 Dual 512
WD74 10,000rpm (sata)
Segate 60gig (ide Master)
Pioneer dvdr (ide Slave)
19` benq LCD
Audigy 2 Zs
Antec NeoPower 480
Coolmaster T05W

Thanks guys.

P.s Xellent Forum you guys have got going

I don't see anything suggestive of a bad bottleneck--you have a good system.

Thanks guys,

The reason why i ask is that it kinda feels slugish, for example when im installing somthing, it starts, then stops....then conts...then stops.

What are checks i should do in bios to make sure everything is running at the speeds they should be. Its my first comp. that has SATA and i hope i have the settings correct in the bios.

I have all the latest drivers, but when formatting my Hdd for the first time, i adopted the QUICK NTFS option, should that matter?

Thanks.

I always do the regular format but the quick should not matter in your case as this was a new build right? Be more specific; what do you mean when you say it starts, then stops,then continues etc... As far as checks you can use some diagnostic/benches too see how your sys runs compared to other sys, but these can be misleadingas far as "real world performance." Best sugges to you is to read this forum more indepth you will find many answers as far as settings (RAM/cpu/ocing/FSB) Benches/Diag's : SiSoft Sandra 2005 / Everest / Prime 95 / PCMark 2004 / etc...
