I first had my computer setup for raid0, but there were problems my computer slowing down in games and benchmarks. So I reformated and disables one of the harddrives, and installed windowsxp on the one that was connected. But my computer still runs very slow in benchmarks, I got (7144) in 3dmark2001se, so I thought maybe I need to update the bios, and reconfigure some of the settings, and when I did that raised the score to 7266 on 3dmark2001se. All the drivers are installed and working,there are not hardware conflicts that i know of.
I'm all out of Idea's Please help

Thank you for taking the time to help me
