doug Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Am running XP Pro on K7S5A mb with AMD 2200+ cpu and 512 MB 266 DDR Ram. I have 2 HDDs first a Seagate 80 GB partitioned into 20/60 as C:\ and E:\, second a Western digital partitioned as 10/30 GB as D:\ and F:\. Running the Pitstop test keeps telling me that I have low uncached speeds on the main Seagate C & E drives. I have checked the cable (an 80 way cable) and it is seating properly however, all the drives are on the same cable. Any suggestions as to where to go next. I cannot find out whether DMA is activated. My test results are here http://www.pcpitstop.com/TechExpress.asp?id=D0JKKWEEA0NS1NM3 :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grim Reaper Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 i read somewhere not to pay too much attention to the uncached speed tests. They apparently can be less that accurate.How true this is i know not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Ignore the the "pit" on this test...If you were creating the next Nemo or toy story then we'll see what can be done. (not that you'll be using your drive)If your computer is running fine then just leave this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 You could track down your 44Mb of junk files, doug. Might help a little. My uncached speed is always crap. I've learned to live with it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
