Ok. I try to explain again.
The L440GX+ Server board has a AIC 7896 onboard (I haven't put), whith 2
SCSI interfaces: one with 80Mb transfer rate and one with 40Mb. I have 2
SCSI disk (with 80Mb transfer rate) and did the following tests:
. I put the SCSI disk in 80Mb interface;
. I put the SCSI disk in 40Mb interface;
. I added a 2940 (with 80Mb transfer rate) and I put the disck SCSI.
All tests didn't work, so my server stays very slow.

Ok. I don't use IDE disk.
What is your BIOS and BMC firmware version? I called to Intel support and
they told me that my version BIOS is out of date. I have to upgrade to
1.05 (BMC firmware) and 7.3 (BIOS). Could it be this my problem?
Thanks.
