Re: Intel E 6600 cpu

I think you are on to the problem, My hard drive In the bios is recognized
as EDIE not serial, I do not see a setting for serial although my asus
Manuel does show a Enhanced mode support on SATA. I will be checking this
out. I think the motherboard may have a defect, as I have another issue
unrelated with this or I thought so. If I do not come up with the answer I
will be replacing the board with another brand.

I really appreciate your reply and suggestion, they were all good and
accurate.

Sincerely Boris

I purchased a E-6600 duel core 2.4 gh cpu, Asus pl5 vm 1394 & corsair
667 [pc5300] memory verified by corsair to work with this m\board

disappointed with the performance this system produces.All the reviews
say this is a very fast processor. This is my first build since about
4 years ago, so I was not up tp date. This thing doesn't do any better
than my Xp2400 2. gh. Does anyone have any ideas of anything I may
have missed. Sandra compares this about the same as amd 4600, however
it also compares it with a e-6700 at about the same performance. I am
totally confused. I feel I may have done something wrong, I am running
default settings in the Bios. Any help well be greatly appreciated.

One more question, are you running the same OS on both of your
machines? If you have 2K on the old system and XP on the new one that
would explain everything.

Have you checked the BIOS settings yet? You need to make sure that your
disks are using DMA and not PIO. You might also want to force the
processor to run at the highest clock speed all the time. That is the
easy way to see if your problem is just a speed governor issue.

I've extensively benchmarked my Core2 system vs my A64 and A64 X2 boxes.
The Core2 is minimally 30% faster then the A64 on a clock for clock
basis. Although I haven't benchmarked the older XP processors I'm sure
that those were less efficient then the A64 which replaced it so I would
guess that a Core2 is at least 50% faster on a clock for clock basis. On
top of that there are two processors in the Core2 which should give at
least a small boost.

One more question, how many processors does XP Home report? I've never
seen an XP Home system so I don't know if it supports multiple processors
or if you need XP Pro for that. Maybe someone who knows more about
Windows can answer that question.
