Hi Peeps,

Just a quick question, I think I know the answer but I need it confirming really.

I have just upgraded my system to include 2 x 80gb, 7200rpm HDD's which I am running on a RAID using RAID 0 (striping).

Just that since I have started running the RAID, the peformance of FS2004 had decreased drematically.

I was just wondering if anyone else is running a RAID system of any type and if thier peformance was decreased.

I guess that they are SATA drives right?I think that you have to change BIOS in order to run in SATA configuration.

Have a look at this ➡

Thanks for the prompt reply, but I have checked the Bios settings and everything. I have even updated the BIOS and graphics, SATA drivers but its still being juttery.

Did you just copy FS from your old disk to your new one or you make a fresh installation?

I see ...You said that you update your VGA...what kind of VGA are you using?

Install your VGA with the drivers you already have(cd).Dont update it.
Unistall it first and clean the old drivers
(this will helps you ➡ http://www.drivercleaner.net/ )and re-install it.
Let us know the results if you try it. 😉
