What does 1/3 of the total benchmark performance regression mean? One

Hi all,
I recently bought a computer with a Silicon Image 3512 SATA chipset
and a 200GB Seagate ST320082 hard drive without knowledge that these
two pieces of hardware don't play nicely. However, I called Seagate
tech support and they told me that upgrading my bios would fix the
problem.
