    Post System S...L...O...W when burning CD...

    Since I got my new Asus A7V266-E RAID motherboard, system gets extremely slow when burning CDs (when I type something it takes 15-20 seconds to appear, switching between programs or scrolling takes as long).

    My mobo has 4 IDE channels (2 RAID connectors set to normal IDE mode):
    Primary master: 40GB ATA100 hard drive (c
    Secondary master: 30GB Tape drive (t
    Third master: CDRW
    Fourth master: DVD ROM

    What is causing this?

    Thanks

    Because the burning procedure uses a large amount of the system memory. This result is common.

    I never had this problem with my old motherboard...

    I know I'm going to sound like a broken record about this, but, depending on the OS you're using, I'd recommend loading the freeware app, "CacheMan." It has presets for multimedia, normal usage, power, multi-apps, CD burning, gaming users under different OS's that manage your swap files and caches to optimize your system performance for the specific chore.

    It works like a charm!
