So now I know that it's some weird ATA66 bus limitation. Anyway I installed a 2.5 inch sataIII hard drive but even with the newer drive my speed was still maxing out at 37 MB/s. I was expecting the old BIOS to not even recognize SATA drives, but that wasn't the case. I thought at first that it must be my aging hard drive so I bought an IDE to SATA converter which suprisingly worked very well. This computers IDE speed is ATA66 and my seagate 200GB hard drive is rated to work at ATA133 speeds but i'm only getting max speeds of 37 MB/s. I have a problem with my old pentium III system. First off let me go ahead and say that I have several modernized systems I just like playing around with old comuters.
