KT7E IDE ATA100 Speeds?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

Hi,

I've been struggling with getting an Abit KT7E motherboard working optimally
with a Seagate 80GB hard drive (8mb cache, ATA100). Here are the system
specs:

Mobo: Abit KT7E (BIOS A9)
CPU: Duron 1.2
Memory: 3x256MB PC133
Drive: Seagate 80GB/8MB cache (Primary Master)
OS: Windows 2000 Pro SP4

I would like to ask a simple question of anyone who has this motherboard,
and who has an ATA100 drive: Have you been able to get IDE speed readings
(burst, average) using either HDTach or Winbench that are appropriate for an
ATA100 drive with this motherboard?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

I was trying to phrase my question to get feedback on that for the KT7E.

I have another system with an A7A266, with the same drive, and am getting
burst speed of 70MB/s, avg read speed of 55MB/s, CPU Util. of 15%.
