Hi all
I recently upgraded my pc from a good old system which had:
gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2
2 x Kingston 512 ddr 400
256meg 6600gt AGP (Xpertvision)
2 x 120 SATA WD HDDS
3000+ Athalon XP
XP PRO
I now have:
a8n-sli deluxe
3500 64 bit CPU
2 x 200 GB WD HDDS
2 x 512 Corsair ddr 400
256meg PCI-E 6600gt (Xpertvision)
XP PRO
All in a sexy Viper case.
I have huge issues with the new system - I cannot download setup progrgams or files from the net properly as they error out when I try to open them. I thought this must have been an install issue with XP, so I formatted and started again.... and again .... and again lol!! I also tried defferent ram, as it can also do funny things... no good.
I also notice that although I get great benchmark results, my system is no where near as fast or powerful as my old XP 3000??????? I keep getting 'windows virtual memory is running low' errors, even when ive only got a few explorers and excel open.... this cannot be normal! Something must be wrong surely! I have updated the chipset drivers, and the Bios, this did not help at all.
I have had to network my old trusty laptop so I can download the files I need from the net, then transfer them to my new system to use, because of the downloading issue.
I am at wits end, and im about to cross the road to an Intel system (prepairs to swallow pride) Any help you guys could provide me with would be awesome! 😕
