X58A-UD3R Slow Data Transfer with one 2GB DDR Memory Stick

[apollo_tec]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post, so please go easy on me. Basically I have been using this motherboard for last 3 days on this spec:

Mobo: Gigabyte X58A UD3R
CPU: i7 930
RAM: 2GB Integral 1600Mhz
GFX: Gigabyte Radeon 4550
HDD: 1TB Green Caviar 64MB
PSU: EZCOOL 500W

First I had a lots of problem with installing MS Win. After disabling Floppy and power saving options in Bios I finally managed to get Win7 64bit running. Boot time is slow and data transfer is not really great as well. Tried to check drive with HD Tune PRO: It gets around 107MB/s on ready (that is avg for this drive), but every 3-4 seconds transfer speed drops down to 3-5MB/s. I realy don't know why. 

Installing Windows 7 Pro 64 bit took me around 80 minutes which is unacceptable. Has anyone got the same observations? Is there any1 who could post BIOS settings screenshots of perfectly working system using this motherboard? Which Sata port should I use for this HDD?

I have a similar problem but I have a P55 UD3R my post is here http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2076.0.html

But to summerise, my system lags to hell when I transfer large files from 1 drive to another. And by lag I mean CRAWLS... Firefox will take 1:30 to even load up.

Are you having similar lag?

Win7 x64 took a reasoable time to install for me, around 35 mins.

Can you arrange to try another stick of memory as well, 2Gb is the minimum really for 64bit.
