By the way maximum speed in one system is determine by the tightest place into it. so where is this place? please try other tests 1. bonnie -s 500 (test file must be big 500mb and more, default is 100mb and not precise because depends of disk cache in linux) 2. iozone under UDA33-66-100 UDA33 --- hdparm -X66 /dev/hda UDA66 --- hdparm -X68 /dev/hda UDA100 ---hdparm -X69 /dev/hda Regards, Naka PS: use ide0=ata66 in kernel boot parameters to force using 80 conductor cable. I begin a new thread - UDA33-66-100 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
