It's got to be something in the disk subsystem, CPU speed shouldn't have
any significant effect when ghosting a drive. It sounds like DMA is
disabled on the Intel systems and enabled on AMD systems.

yes, DMA is not working on the systems with the slower
times, though it's not really an Intel vs AMD issue, merely
what the specific motherboard bios is configured to
support... I have AMD boxes that don't support it either.
For example. an Asus A7S333 won't, but an A7V333, will.

What's the setting in the BIOS that should be enabled? I want to see what
mine is set at.

May not be visable at all on some bios, might be similar to
"busmaster IDE" or *** DMA *** IDE""" something-or-other,
the specific label escapes me at the moment but there's only
one potential setting, it should be obvious enough if
present.
