I upgraded (I thought?) from a Soyo K7VME mobo (Via KM400 chipset) to a MSI KT880 Delta FSR mobo (Via KT880 chipset and many other features).
The reason I say I thought this was an upgrade is the system is not running as fast as it was with the old mobo. CPU settings are the same, drivers have been updated, but music processing applications are much slower and games that ran smoothly with the old mobo are now choppy.
If I were guessing I would say it is one of two things
1. The place in the BIOS where you set the amount of AGP memory, should I be setting it to the same thing as my card (128mb) or something else. It says something about "AGP from system memory".
2. The old mobo was not capable of dual channel memory so I just had 1024mb (2 x 512mb) on a single channel. The new mobo is capable of dual channel so I installed the same 2- 512mb sticks but in a dual channel configuration.
Which is better 1024mb on a single channel or split up w/512mb on two channels?
