Maybe someone has came across this before....
I have a AMD ATHLON 700MHz Slot A Processor with a ASUS K7M Motherboard. My problem is that my system severly lags when the hard drive is accessed. I have recently upped the memory to 512MB and pulled out my 20GB Segate and installed a 60GB Seagate barracuda. I then reinstalled Windows 98 Second edition and I am still seeing bad lag, especially when copying from a CD to the hard drive. The CD Reads quick, but when the hard drive light comes on for writing...the whole system lags and the mouse moves very slow. Before I reinstalled Windows 98 the system lagged really bad ALL the time even when not really doing anything. I had pulled out everything in the system except for the Memory, video and hard drive and still see horrible performance....Could their be a compatibility issue that someone knows about? My BIOS shows correct voltage levels and I do not think the system is overheating....I got 3 large fans in the case and are NOT overclocking....ideas???? HELP!!!!!!
