I have an Epox 8rda3+ Nforce2 motherboard and I'm having problems with my S-ata hard drive. The drive is insanely slow and when the comp reads from it myt net gets kinda laggy....(a PCI network card could solve it?).
For example moving a film from a drive to another takes over 15minutes so it's obviously too slow. I'm suspectinga DMA problem myself...what do you think?
What is/are the right DMA settings for ATA133 drives, S-ATA drive and a DVD-burner...there are too many possibilities for me to decide, for example: ULTRA DMA 0,1,2, ULTRA DMA33 and various MULTI-WORD DMA settings....

I would highly appreciate for any help you can give me :)

Well you should be using Mode 7 for SATA drives (or just autodetect)
