Hi I wonder if anyone here can help
I have a PC based on a GA-965P-DS3 rev 1.0 with 2Gb of Mem
I have three disks connected using the (Orange) SATA cables:
1. Hitachi DeskStar T7K250
2. WD Raptor
3. WD RaptorX (Win XP Home)
I recently upgraded from E6600 to Q6600
and replaced my Geforce 7900GT with a Geforce 9800GTX
But I haven't seen any increase in speed, so I'm wondering if either the Motherboad could be maxed-out by the faster CPU and GPU or the disks aren't using SATA2 and that could be a bottleneck?
(btw I ran 'PerformanceTest 6.1 and the results were between 60Mb per sec for Sequential Read test on the RaptorX, 27 for the Deskstar and 20 for the Raptor) Are these about right?
How would I tell with this Motherboard whether the disk are in SATA2 mode, and does anyone familiar with this board know roughly what disk performance I should be getting?
Hugely grateful if anyone can offer any advice,
Thanks
Chris.
