I have Samsung 80Gb UDMA133 7200 HDD master on IDE1. DMA is on. My PC is Pentium4 2.4GHz, 512Mb 400 DDR works only 333, Albatron 845GEV motherboard. The problem is that HDD is working really slow. When in DC++ someone uploads from my at speed 2-6 mb/s I can’t do enything else. I bought Liteon 1633s DVD writer and even at 4x my PC gets unusable. Sometimes I can`t even play games. Tryed to check HDD with FreshDiagnose benchmark. It shows that writing speed is 11.34 MB/s and reading speed is 11.67 MB/s. Is this normal ? Or where could be the problem
