    SATA or SATAII i thought the layout of the drives and harddrives made no difference as you change it all around in the bios.

    Yeah I agree, I thought nowadays with all of these new boards, I wouldn't have to go about changing what drives are attached to what sata ports.

    What mobo drivers do you guys install, I just have the intel inf drivers installed which seemed to have drivers for the ich10 sata ports but that didn't help.

    I know, but SATA is not a completely new bus and most of IDE crappy things are almost there.

    Most of the people is even using SATA bus configured in legacy mode that is at 99% an IDE bus on a serial interface.

    Argh, I am not at home or I would have tested it in minutes.
    I cross my fingers for enhanced Xeon support, but I am not too confident.

    Ah I see. I have mine setup in "Enhanced - IDE" mode. Should I still get this slowdown / lag when using optical drives with this setting do you know?

    My first information, now you can change the ram Multi and the UCLK with a Xeon W3520!

    Hope you have Luck!

    You can try to set by BIOS the ICH10r SATA ports in AHCI mode, if you don't have the boot HD on that ports, as this change prevents the O.S. boot if you were previously in IDE mode.

    Unfortunately windows 7 won't boot with ahci enabled now that its already installed. I saw some benchmarks that ahci can be slower and more troublesome so i went with the recommended setting of IDE.

    I wonder does AHCI get around this problem... ie worth doing a complete reinstall.

    Yes.

    A lot of your issues depend from the DVD driver too.
    Most of them still use very old IDE code to send data to PC.

    I haven't a sure reply for that but I suggest to keep the situation as is.

    OK I will try and live with the problem as is. Maybe a future update for this LG Blu-Ray drive might improve the problem if it is a firmware problem. I thought the OS's job in this situation would still be to allow only certain resources to each device. I mean cpu usage is still very low. Strange that playing a movie from a sata drive while the optical drive is in use causes such problems.

    I think this should be possible to solve with proper os drivers....

    Yes I thnk it will boot fine if it was setup as ahci in the first place. If not windows begins to boot but reboots with blue screen half way through.

    You can enable AHCI support after installing, then change the BIOS setting...see here http://www.ithinkdiff.com/how-to-ena...-installation/

    So you're out buying hardware when you owe me money and have owed me money since December. Seriously, I've given you how many chances to return the parts in the condition you received them or pay the later agreed to price, I do have all the PM's. You've given job excuse, unpaid warrant excuse, and so on and so on.

    Pay up, you have my paypal information because I just sent it to you via PM again.

    WOW, thanks a million. Well tried AHCI again now (as I didn't notice much difference first time I tried months ago) but all problems are gone with AHCI. I know some sites say its a small bit slower, but some also say its faster... In my case i can now transfer from optical drive and access hdd's all at once and no stuttering or weirdness like with IDE.

    I would recommend AHCI to everyone.

    Simply opened .reg file from that site you gave me and installed latest beta intel matrix drivers for Win 7 from http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driv...rmation/11963/

    A few reboots later and everything working fine as far as I can tell. Thanks again.
