well, im having a slight bit of bother with my new duron and new hard drive... can anyone shed some light on the subject...
when i had my tbird in my setup it used to score in sandra 2002 standard, about 26000 on the hard drive benchmark, but now that i have changed the cpu to a duron its gone from 26000 to under 10000...
the tbird was an 1100 overclocked 1333 and the duron is a 950 overclocked to 1133.. (can go to 1266 which i thought was rather impressive... but anyway...)
why has my new maxtor 40gig 7200rpm ata133 drive halved in performance, due to a duron? does this mean that the darn thing will go up and a bit more behond with the xp 1800 im hoping to upgrade too?
could someone please help me out...

heres my system setup..
