Wasp Motherboard
3.0GHZ 800MHz FSB P4 NORTHWOOD HYPER THREADING PROCESSOR
550W Power supply
Memory: 1024MB Memory Module
200GB SATA Hard Drive
18 LCD Flat Panel Display Analog/Digital (18.1 viewable)
128MB NVIDIA GEFORCE4 TI4200 Graphics Card Drivers
DVD-RAM/-R/-RW/CDRW Recorder
TDK CD-RW: 52/24/48
SB Audigy (Twister) Sound Card w/IEEE 1394

Panasonic 3.5 Floppy ID Drive
Zip Drive
120Gig External Hard Drive (Smartdrive).
Didnt see any references to my problem here so i'll post it and
hope for an answer.
Problem Defination: Reduced response time. (non-RAID system)
Symptoms:
1. When i first got this system, and i clicked on an application
(including browsers) the appl would be on-screen and ready to go before
i could release the mouse button. Was getting very fast throughput, above
129 MB per second (now 108.3 according to Hi-Tech) Now, several seconds
3/4/5 will pass before i see anything on-screen.
2. I can find no reference to a SATA interface within the system. Nor any
way to check if it is using the right driver for SATA.
3. The system shows 3 drivers in the properties under the hard disk -
disk.sys
PartMgr.sys
snapman.sys
(Wether these are the correct drivers or not i dont know).
Discussion: I have re-installed this OS before using the CD's from
Gateway and it
never called for anything like the F6 key. This appears to be a gradual
reduction
happening over time. The last time i re-installed the OS there was no
improvement.
I purchased WinXP (full version) with XP2, installed it (using the F6
key and what i
hope was the correct drivers from Intel. No improvement. I installed a
new HD, the
same as the original HD. No improvement.
I'm looking for what\where is the real SATA driver for this system and
of course,
any info as to what may cause this slowdown.
Thank you,
clif
