Extremely poor optical drive performance with new Conroe build: Biostar TForce 965PT.
I recall reading a few things about problems with the 965 chipset and optical drives on the IDE (PATA) channel. I seem to be experiencing this problem, because I tried ripping a DVD and it was extremely slow--it would have taken 2 hours to rip a single DVD. I popped the same CD into my main AMD rig, and the ripping process was at least 10 times faster. I tried going into Device Manager, but I have no idea what I'm looking for. There are two devices listed under "DVD/CD-ROM drives", even though I only have one. (?) Also, under the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers", there are 3 "Primary IDE Channels", 3 "Secondary IDE channels", and one VIA Bus Master IDE Controller - 3164". All have drivers installed. What am I to make of this? There is only one PATA port on my mobo. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
