    hello

    my comp seems a bit slow after i have replaced the motherboard
    dvd ripping takes a lot longer than normal and cpu only goes up to about 50-70%

    i have a intel celeron 345 (3.06ghz 533fsb) 512mb pc2700 ram running on a new gigabyte motherboard ga-81g1000mk

    i was thinking it could be either

    1 - overheating - i bought a cheapo heatsink to go with the motherboard

    2 - bios settings - they seem a bit confusing , cpu host clock spped is disabled and stuck at 133? is this correct

    my pc seems stable other than this - help please!

    in the device manager, check to see if the dma is enabled on the ide drives.

    yes i already read through all those threads
    i have 2 dvd writer they are both showing as "dma if available"

    the only thing i noticed was master is ultra dma mode 5 ,
    slave is ultra dma mode 2, is this correct?

    could it be the drivers for the ide channels? i have a legitimate xp with sp2 but the disk i used may have been old? they are

    driver version 5.1.2600.2180 date 1/7/2001

    i will look on microsoft.com to see if i can find out if they r upto date

    all the drivers for the mobo seem to be upto date, i think its something to do with the bios, i have changed some of the settings and will give it another go l8tr

    your ide driver is not up to date as there is a version 7 from intel.

    i give up, ive just spent an hour of my time looking, i got a more recent one fron gigabytes website - 5.1.0.1009 25/3/09

    dvd shrink runs a lot faster with this one so looks like im on the right track

    as i feel like a right noob, please could you put me out of my misery and tell me where u found the 7 version, - i would appreciate it very much!
