Hi,

could you describe, what performance issues you had with 915?

I got a 915, which I think is ... perhaps a bit slow. One would expect a 2.8PIV with 1GB RAM to be snapier(I am talking about the UI) than what we are experiencing. Especially eclipse-GTK is very slow.

Best Regards sasoon

All,

I am installing a BOXD915GAVL system and centos 4. The CPU is a 2.8 GIG celeron D with 1GIG memory and 120GIG Seagate drive.

Is is VERY slow. What gives?

Any other experience with something like this?

It is installing but even after install when booting it is taking VERY long time to even get to the Checking new hardware screen.

Two bits of advice:

1. -- get and apply the BIOS update from Intel. That solved our

performance problems with 915-based systems for both RHEL 3.4 and 4.0 systems.

2. -- don't send HTML email to mailing lists.

Happy Hunting.
