Heya guys ,

ok i think somthing in my comp is slowing things down , specifically loading times of games i have a t-bird 900 @ 1000 (7.5 x 133) on a abit kt7a 192 MB of ram gf2 mx and a Quantum fireball AS 7200 20GB.

my prob is in nearly all games when me and my mates network they all load stages of muliple games faster than i do with worse systems that mine my mate has a duron 600 192 ram same vid card.

in sandra my mem benchmark scores me @ 520/565 which seems good compared to the other tbird 1Ghz there, im in win2k and sandra locks up if i try run the hdd benchmark so im wondering if its that.

any other progs that give a good hdd benchmark that i can compare to see if its running ata 100 etc correctly?

cheers guys.

defragment often did it 2 days ago last time , i have installed 4in1 ver 4.31 and it says in primary hdd controller , use dma if availible and current transfer mode is ultra dma.

is there another program i can use to benchmark my hdd apart from sandra?
