Re: [gentoo-amd64] Mobo recommendations

[James Pattinson]

Hi

Thanks all for your recommendations! It's nice to know there are some 
good amd64 boards out there. perhaps I've just had bad luck with these 
APIC problems so far.

Could some of you perhaps run hdparm -Tt on your root disk and let me 
know what you get? I get great performance off the disk but the cached 
read speed is about half the speed of my P4 box:

amd64~ # hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   1532 MB in  2.00 seconds = 765.95 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads:   98 MB in  3.01 seconds =  32.58 MB/sec

pentium4~ # hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   2296 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1147.03 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   44 MB in  3.02 seconds =  14.56 MB/sec

Cheers!

James
