Is your L2 cache turned on for all memory? The K7M BIOS does not enable L2 caching for anything other than base memory. With the cache off, the system feels like a 200 MHz Pentium. Try executing the following: /usr/sbin/memcontrol set -b 0 -l 268435456 write-back Replace that big number with the amount of memory you have, in bytes.
