Topic: SME 7 on Athlon 64 very very slow

[g00s3m4n]

Hi there all..

been a while since my last visit..

decided to try SME 7 on a new box of mine, but for some reason it is dog slow..

i've got a Athlon 64 3500 on a asus a8n-vm board with two SATA II 80GB drives using the onboard nvidia raid and 764MB ram. I thought it would be pretty decend but it is very very slow, is there anything i can do to tweak it? I dont even know where to begin looking.

I've run SME on AMD before without any probs, anyone have any suggestions?

Much appreciated..

I think you are going to find that it is the nvidia chipset. I had trouble when trying to install 7.0rc2 on a motherboard with nvidia, or newer via chipsets.

Have you tried installing Centos and seeing if you get the same results?

going to give it a bash, been busy trying to get my hands on  the x86_64 version to see if that makes a difference..

just for everyones interest, i found this..

hello..

for those who are interested.. here are my findings..

installed Centos 64bit - was very very slow
installed Centos i386 - works perfectly

then, i too my SME 7 cd and installed it on a SUN X2100 server that also uses nvidia chipset and it worked fine..
