Oh My God

[FreakyOCR]

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS

 

[FreakyOCR]

C'mon, help me out here!!

 

[Renob]

Take it back and buy another Abit they rock... BTW did you load all your Via drivers???

 

[Thanatopsis]

Check your DMA settings.

In start > settings > control panel > system properties, click on the device tab. Click the plus next to disc drives, right click primary IDE controller and select properties. Click the settings tab and make sure DMA is selected. You might have to restart.

Come back if that doesn't work.

 

[StickHead]

Even with the DMA setting not checked it should not be that SLOW! I'd say you MSI has a junk IDE port or the south bridge is whacko.

FreakyOCR:

Just saw your sig. LOL. Six of Nine eh?

 

[FreakyOCR]

It says DMA if available. The bios settings for dma are "auto" or "none" Sigh.

Yes, Six of Nine

 

[FreakyOCR]

The new Via 4-in-1s are loaded, i just flashed the new bios.... nothing. Still slow as hell...

FreakyOCR:

Do you have a separate IDE card such as the Promise cards, to test and see if perhaps you just got a defective board with defective IDE channels? My roommate had a mobo with defective IDE's one time. Also, if you don't have another, try putting your HDD on the secondary IDE channel and see what sort of performance you get then.

[FreakyOCR]

Keep in mind that i had this hdd on my kt7-raidand it ran fine. I have another msi pro2a running a 46GB 75GXP and it has the same problem. 2 new mobos and two defecive ide's??? Not good... I will try the other channel... If I can't get this fixed tonight, back it goes, and I coming home with an Abit KT7-Raid (Or if BOTH the boards are defective, two NEW MSIer's)

 

[damac]

i just tried the download version on my computer. i have the ibm deskstar 30gb. it ran the tests and my scores are above the ata66 marks. dma is enabled.

so something seems wrong with your setup since I have the msi board also.

<<Take it back and buy another Abit they rock...>>

Ignore that.


Which 4-in-1 did you install? You need 4.26/27 for optimum performance in Win2k.

 

[FreakyOCR]

I have 4.25a. I had 4.25a on my Abit....

 

[LXi]

Download 4.26 or 4.27.

 

[FreakyOCR]

Got them!!! Via drivers must not support their own chipset!!!! Stupid... spending too much time on Cyrix!!!!! Dam good thing they have betas!!!!

CHECK IT!!!!!

 

[FreakyOCR]

Thanks Peeps!

 

[LXi]

Like I said on the technical support forum, you absolutely NEED the betas to get Win2k performance up there. Next time, dont blame MSI, please.

 

[FreakyOCR]

agreed

 

[LXi]

And please ignore those Abit zealots that try to ruin your experience with such an outstanding motherboard.

 

[Insane3D]

&quot;And please ignore those Abit zealots that try to ruin your experience with such an outstanding motherboard.&quot;

Yeah, and watch out for the MSI and ASUS zealots too...

*******Announcement*******

From this point forward, Lxi's opinions outweigh all others, please take notice.

 

[LXi]

I dont usually get mad, but you're one of the few that really gets in my nerves.

Step the fvck off

 

[Insane3D]

Thanks! I feel all tingly now...

*feeling special*
*stepping off*

 

[LXi]

I have had enough of your insulence, if you dont know when to shut up, go ask you mom. I helped the guy fix his problem, what the hell did you contribute? What the hell do you know besides insulting people? Probably none, well let me give you a little advice, stay away from the forum, Anandtech forums doesnt need a pumpous jackass like you to go around and bullying with everybody.

 

[Insane3D]

Me? Insolent? Are we a little sensitive? I don't go around &quot;bullying&quot; anyone. I always try to help people here. I just think it's funny when someone disagrees with you, they are &quot;zealots&quot;. I never insulted you, and I never said anything about you helping or not. I was just pokin a little fun with you. You then attack me personally calling me several names and making refrences to my mother...seems like you're the one who's insulting. It's funny, even after your attacks on me, I still do not insult you...that's called maturity. As far as who's a...what was it..oh yeah...&quot;pumpous&quot; jack*ss...you might try the nearest mirror for that one. Lighten up man...life's too short.


PS - Does this mean no christmas card next year?

 

[Sunner]

LXi, time to have a chill pill eh?

The guy's just joking with ya.

It was actually sorta funny to read though

 

[LXi]

Chill? Would you listen to his tone? He came here with absolutely no good intentions, I dont care if he's insulting or joking, but why does he pick me and not someone else? Oh yea maybe its because I made him so mad by not praising his CraPoint controller and Abit boards, he probalby just want some revenge, who knows?
