E6400 core 2 duo,

Patriot 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Memory,

2-320GB Seagate sataII drives & 1-320GB Western Digatal SataII drive in MD software RAID 5,

ECS NFORCE 570 SLIT-A (v5.1) Motherboard.

I would not recommend this motherboard unless you are on a tight budget, it sucks big time. ECS does not have any phone support, and the latest bios breaks a lot of stuff on the board. DO NOT GET THIS MOTHERBOARD. I will sell you mine if you want it. I believe the Raid would perform faster if I didn’t mix in the Western Digital. I still have to work on it.

Please can you describe exactly your system configuration? Especialy motherboard? :)
Thank you

Here are some benchmarks using Sandra. My system is a e6400 core2duo, 2GB DDR2 RAM, and RAID 5. You get better GUI performance if you remote desktop into the machine from another windows machine:

I don't have vs2005 installed. What are you concerned about? CPU performance, disk performance, memory performance? Is there a specific benchmark program you want me to run?

I have it set up, what program do you want me to run to test it?

Somebody tell me that was very slowly. His compute was double Xeron 3.0 and
2G memory. He said that speed is fine when run setup on text mode. But it
was very very slowly when system enter the Gui.

Is that true?
