I have the same mobo... (Dual PII 733)
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.22 seconds =15.17 MB/sec
However... I'm on IDE so I'd expect it to be a bit slower...
I've heard a lot about the potential of the chipset... I'm just
slightly afraid I'll have to
shove Win2k on a partition to use it...
