| 29683 | 2002-01-03 11:08:00 | Hi all. I have just done my weekly visit to pcpitstop.com and as always, my cached speed is slow @ 77 mb/s. It is supposed to be about 170 mb/s. What causes that, and how do I fix it? Cheers again. |

| 29686 | 2002-01-03 15:23:00 | Attn tweak'e... I have cut and paste the results from PC Pitstop for your analysis. The MB's are megabytes. DMA is enabled. The percentages given are as a comparison of similar systems. I hope u can make sense of this and figure out why cached speed is always slow. Thanx in anticipation of your always helpful responses.
