Hey guys I have a VP6 with 2 1ghz cpus. And I have a Abit Se6 with a celeron II 566mhz(at 1004mhz) both running IDENTICAL hardware and they
both have IBM ATA100 7,200 15GB drives. When I benchmarked these computers with hdparm -t /dev/hda i got:

hdparm -t /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.83 seconds = 34.97 MB/sec (with my Abit SE6) and I get:

hdparm -t /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 17.44 seconds = 3.67 MB/sec
with my Vp6.......

is there a patch for this highpoint controller? this is SUCH a speed difference..ANY IDEAS?

thanks guys,
OH BTW I have the latest kernal on both machines......

Oh btw The VP6 is a ABIT dual motherboard with a ATA100/raid HPT370 chipset (VIA), while the SE6 is a i815 chipset with a i815 ATA100 controller.

Did you try the following line on both?

Code:
hdparm -c 1 -d 1 -k 1 /dev/hda
