AMD 1GHZ & MSI K7T-TURBO problems

[Terran4000]

I just got finished biuling my new computer with a AMD 1ghz 266FBS proccessor on a K7T-Turbo motherboard and everything seems to startup A LOT slower than on my old 400mghz comp from dell. For example, in Unreal Tournament, it took about around 20-25 seconds to boot it up, and on my new comp, it take more than 25 seconds and when I go to start a practice session it take abvout 5 seconds or more to load the menu!!! Most other games do similar things. On the new and old comp, I am on windows ME. Also, the transfer rate from dvd-rom to hd (like installing UT) is alot slower. I used the same DVD-rom for both comps (I took it from the old one and stuck it into this one). Can anyone help me here? This is suppost to be a 1ghz at 266FBS and some things run slower on it than on the old comp. PLEASE HELP!

From a guy who has the same M/B and CPU as you, I think I can help, but please list all what you have in your computer to help, like hardware stuff.

MSI K7T has two pairs ATA-100 controllers already. Installing another ATA Controller on it seems unusual. You have 2 HD, DVD, & CD. The floppy controller has the floppy and ZIP. If you are using the Ultra-ATA controller (is this a 33, 66, or 100?), did you disable the ATA controller on the motherboard? (resource allocation issue)

You did not mentioned if you are O/Cing or not. I am assuming that you are using PC133 memory (memory was not stated) and have jumper the MSI motherboard from FSB100 to FSB133.
