AHCI on Southbridge SB600 - slow boot up in XP
I am using winxp professional SP3 in my PC with the following configuration:
AMD 5000+ with 2G ram Seagate 250G harddrive in my mobo ASUS M2A-VM HDMI bios 1501 I changed the setting in the southbridge from IDE to AHCI according to the following link: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Language=en-us Everything is ok and the performance is improved except winxp stops for about 10 second when booting up which is same as described as the following link: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/24...oblems-booting I have tried different version of ahcix86.sys (driver for AHCI), but without improvement for the above scenario. At present, the version of my ahcix86 is 2.5.1540.39 Anyone has encountered the problem and any solution to solve it? Thanks in advance.

I too noticed the same delay on boot-up, but don't think much of it since the overall system speed has not been affected. I've been wondering why the disk performance hasn't increased over IDE mode, since I have noticed little to no increase in speed since I changed modes. I'm wondering if the core speed of our processors (200 MHz, or is this system speed?) has anything to do with it. If anyone can shine some light on this, I would appreciate it as well.

AHCI on Southbridge SB600 - slow boot up in XP
I have checked the performance between in IDE and AHCI by the PC Wizard 2008
and HD Tune 2.55. The results in AHCI are even poor than that of IDE. In the HD Tune 2.55, the seagate 250G even cannot properly display its disk infos. I have changed back to IDE mode already. As I installed the windows in IDE mode, is there something need in the XP professional that will add during installation? If yes, how? "Brian" ...

AHCI on Southbridge SB600 - slow boot up in XP
I've have installed the same AHCI driver version (AMD RAID/AHCI Controller
Driver V2.5.1540.39, is the last updated version on Asus site). I've an M3A Asus motherboard and I've notice a lack of performance during WinXp boot and I've 2 MAXTOR SATA II disk (without RAID configuration). Why? It seems better IDE instead AHCI mode (!!!!!). |

AHCI on Southbridge SB600 - slow boot up in XP
It would help in diagnosing if you did some benchmark tests on the
drives/controller. AHCI isn't itself faster than standard SATA type controllers - it provides hot swapping and native command queuing. Unless you need those features it's best to set the controller to work as Legacy type controllers. Generally a recent SATA II drive should deliver an average speed of 80+ Meg and an access time of 11-13 mSeconds. "SMDB" wrote in message ...

AHCI on Southbridge SB600 - slow boot up in XP
I've tried HDTune 3.10 PRO, with 2 HD Maxtor SATA II (500 & 160 GB) and the
results are the same in IDE mode or AHCI. Only during Win XP (32 bit) startup is much slower in AHCI mode than IDE mode. I'm very interested to enable and use NCQ (so I've switched in AHCI) but I've seen that this feature doesn't give me no performances encrease. thanks for yours support |

AHCI on Southbridge SB600 - slow boot up in XP
One thing to check is the controller properties in Device Manager. While
SATA is a single Channel host, the properties still show as Primary and Secondary with Auto detection. Toggle any unused channels to None. Also many vendors ship SATA II tech drives with a micro-jumper that limits them to SATA I performance levels - make sure the jumper has been removed ( if installed ). "SMDB" wrote in message ...

Toggle any unused channels to None. thank for this suggestion, unfortunately I didn't found these parameters. In Device Manager (hw configuration) under 'Controller SCSI and RAID' I've only 'ATI AHCI compatible RAID controller' and 'ATI RAID Console'. In the properties folder I see only: General, Driver, Details and Resources, but I don find your suggested parameter. Could you explain in deep where I have to check? Also many vendors ship SATA II tech drives with a micro-jumper that limits them to SATA I performance levels - make sure the jumper has been removed ( if installed ). I've already checked and I've removed the SATA I limitation jumper before the installation. thank you for patience |

It's a very common problem and mostly we solve it with the software "tuneup360".
