<DIV>was only getting about 10-15% increase</DIV>
<DIV>so wasnt worth it compared to possable loss</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>50% increase atleast would be good</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But from the speeds I've seen posted (20-30's) I think im getting ok speeds</DIV>
<DIV>(but i have seen posted speeds in the 70's (thats just under double for me</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>will worry about sata later, for now my drives are all pata</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But i want DEFINATLY better speeds</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Know of any way to test my throughput? (ie whats the max i can be passing through?</DIV>
<DIV>maybe im missing some setting in bios or at my max for the board</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">That's probably the question. What speed improvements were you <BR>expecting?
