I just thought it'd be much more with an ATA100. I got more or
less the same with my earlier motherboard, an ASUS A7APro, and
without ATA66 - which would print a lot of CRC errors at boot
time if enabled in the BIOS. The K7S5A doesn't print any and is
rock solid.

Maybe running it at 100/133 (and not 100/100) decreases
performance ? I read is somewhere. I have an Athlon 1000 (200)
with 2x256Mb DDR PC2100.
