Promise Ultra 133 on an old Compaq Deskpro EP/SB Series to speed up the disk access ?
I've installed a fast 7200rpm ATA 133 Maxtor disk in my Compaq Deskpro EP/SB Series, but the transfer is very slow. Will it help tom install a Promise Ultra ATA133 card to speed up the access? Afaik the Compaq Deskpro EP/SB Series is ATA 33. So I am under the impression it should make a difference. Thanks in advance for your answer ! |
