Bios Flash

[Shifthrow]

After getting really slow ripping speeds with a Pioneer 16x dvd drive I finally decided to flash my bios.
Using an Abit kt7 raid and a 1Ghz Athlon overclocked to 1.2, and with DMA turned on I was only getting ripping speeds of 1x and lower. I finally flashed my bios thinking this might help and it actually improved my speeds a lot. Before it was taking me and hour and 20 minutes to rip Saving Private Ryan and now its only taking me 13 minutes. So those with the same configurations or who are getting slow ripping speeds this might help too.

I flashed the Award bios on my motherboard. I haven't done anything with the firmware on my dvd drive.

Right.... i get it..... Abit. I have one of those (BE6) they have a intergrated UDMA66 controller. Mine has a Highpoint controller on board. I have really never seen a controller that sux more than that intergrated card.

So if you also have one of those, that kinda explains it. When i first bought my board the IDE controller REALLY sucked, only after a bios upgrade for the motherboard and ide controller it started to look like something acceptable.

It's nothing agains you, i just really dislike Abit boards nowadays. I've had Abit for years (BX6, BX6 2.0, BE6) but i use Asus boards now.
