Do a reload , here's why: On my AMD BIOS I found that something got scrambled that reduced my performance by ~7 (yes Seven ... very slow) ! I reset all the cache stuff I could find, still no good, gave up, did a "Reload with Power On Defaults" then a Reload with BIOS defaults" -- Problem went away ! Good Luck Julian -- Julian H.
