Until recently, my Athlon XP1700 was troublefree (40GB ATA100, 256MB DDR2100, Geforce2). I noticed lately that the system was really slow so I ran a benchmark on it (BMX4) and compared it to my Athlon1200 system (15GB ATA66, 256MB PC133, Via Video). The 1700s HDD performance was pathetic 3/3 compared to the 1200 system 29/4 so I assumed something was screwed up. I suspected software or a driver so I re-installed the VIA busmaster IDE driver but still got the same results. Any ideas on what to try next or should I just reload the system.
