hi to all,

I have 2 setup of the following specs

system 1

p4 2.8c ht / msi 875P neo motherboard
Elsa Gladiac525 ti 4200 128mb video card
60 Gb SATA maxtor hd
1 GB kingston ram
tdk cyclone cd/rw
msi dvd rom

system 2

amd +2600 / abit nf7 motherboard
albatron ti 4280 128mb video card
40 GB maxtor IDE hd
1 GB kingston ram
generic cd rom
hp 8200 cd/rw

I have been working on both computers actively and have observed that my
system 1 actually perform slower than system 2.
System 1 took double the time in opening application and general working on
software like photoshop and 3dmax.

 Isn't system 1 a better machine than 2? I have swap every piece of
hardware, like the ram and video card, as well as remove
cdrom. But system 2 still out perform 1 in every aspect. Or can I simply say
amd is far more superior that intel when it come to raw cpu comparison.

Could the problem be in the SATA HDD? like I might have configure wrongly.
some how.( this is my first SATA hd installed), like maybe need special
setting.

Please advise.

Thanks a million

Alan
