I've just built a system for a friend and it's PAINFULLY slow at everything!
Spec:
Intel Core 2 Quat Q6600 2.4GHz
MSI P6N SLI-F v2 650i motherboard
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX
2X: XFX GeForce 8500 GT Silent 256MB DDR2 (SLIed)
Enermax Liberty 620W ELT620AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
4X: Maxtor Diamondmax 21 250GB SATA-II 8MB (RAID 5)
Thermalright SI-128 CPU Cooler (with AcoustiFan DustProof Quiet 120mm Fan)
now, problems are:
USB 2.0 transfer rate is slower then USB 1
DVD transfer rate incredibly slow
windows seems very sluggish
3D mark 06 score of 4216
Prime 95 when running 4 instances with an affinity set to each core will fail within 20 minutes on every core.
tried installing an additional 2 sticks of Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 memory but it would not boot with it until i increased the DRAM voltage THEN it only detected 3GB and would not run 3D mark 06 without crashing
also, loading files and applications takes a very long time, it should be faster then this with a RAID 5 array! *kicks it*
any ideas?
