CD-RW is too slow since hardware upgrade

Hi,
I used to have a Pentium 3 800MHz with an old MSI mobo and 768Mb of SDRAM, I could have programs like Photoshop 7, Dreamweaver MX 2004, lots of Internet Explorer windows, Windows Explorer, Winamp 5 and some tray icons with applications running in the background and I could a full cd (700mb) at the top speed (40x) without reporting any avoid of buffer underrun or without slowing down the computer/windows and without the burn process fail (I dunno what ward you use to say this).
Now I have a Pentium 4 + Neo2-LS + 512Mb of DDR (2x256, Linear Mode) and the system has the same programs installed, the configuration is identical and burning cds makes my computer/windows really, really slow some times the burn process fail and I just wasted one more cd, the computer/windows becomes really slow without even using any other applications besides the burning app wich is Nero 6, the burn process even fails sometimes without any applications running besides nero...
What do you think it might be? I have the lattest firmware for cd CD-RW drive, Nero 6 updated to the last version, Intel chipset drivers, IDE drivers and BIOS are all up to date I guess... You think my CD-RW is gone? With just a simple migration of mobo+cpu+ram?
I'm using (and always was) Windows XP Pro + SP1.
Any help is really appreciated

Yes, it's running on Ultra DMA 2...
By the way, I have the CD-RW on IDE2  in master and a DVD-ROM in lave (this one is running on PIO, can't understand why)
I read that link but don't you think it will be a little hard for me to "shout" every single characteristic of my computer and hardware and ehac version a definitions of that stuff? Lots of things I might say may not be needed at all so why can't you just ask what is needed to know and I'll be pleased to answer...
And seriously, I always try to write each of my posts in detail so I can get a fast answer without need to answre lost of questions first but I really don't know what else to say...  
can't you just ask you want to know?

  • External firewire 800 Iomega HD too slow since Lion Upgrade

    Hi all,
    Since my upgrade to OSX Lion im having the issue that my external Iomega HD is too slow to even playback my song (only audio files, About 9 Tracks of them). I removed all 3rd party plugins but the issue still occurs.
    Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Any ideas on how to resolve it?
    System:
    iMac Middle of 2010
    4GB 1333 Mhz DDR 3 Ram
    External Harddrive is a iomega 1TB firewire 800 disk.
    With Snow leopard it worked well... Maybe i was too fast with updating this time...
    Cheers

    Sorry little addition:
    It s about an external fw hd working with Logic- not in general slow performance.

  • My computer is too slow since I upgraded my iTunes

    I've had iTunes for years now and I've never had issues with it, but when I upgraded it to the 10.6 version my computer has been running really slow, I have windows 7 64bits, I uninstalled it and my computer went back to normal. I tried reinstalling the whole thing and it happened again. Now I can't go back to the previous version I had and I really liked to use this software. What can I do to use iTunes without losing my computer full capavility

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

  • Why is my iphone 3g slower since software upgrade...

    I know other people who have complained about the same thing that the 3g is slower since the software upgrade a few months back. Why? Everything on the phone is a tad slower since the upgrade. Weren't upgrades designed to improve the performance, not decrease it?

    are you up to date with the siftware?
    do you have a lot of memory left?
    have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
    all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

  • Mid 2009 macbook slow since yosemite upgrade

    I am getting a little tired of the spinning beach ball, my formerly well performing macbook is so slow since I upgraded it.
    I have 4Gb ram, activity monitor suggests I am not low on that.
    It is particularly slow when I start up anything new; when an email comes in the whole thing grinds to a halt.
    3rd party programs like Chrome seem to be sucking the life out of it, I have checked it is up to date and it is.
    Is this a common experience and what have others done to speed things up?
    System spec: Yosemite version 10.10, processor 2.13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb SDRAM
    15Gb disk space free.
    I have repaired disk permissions.
    Maura

    The large number of problems with System items looks suspicious: I'd strongly suggest a reinstall of Yosemite. (Make sure that you have a backup of all your files; e.g. a Time Machine backup.)

  • Firefox CONSTANTLY has a yellow bar on top of my screen nagging me to upgrade adobe flash but my processor is way too slow for that upgrade.

    I am on an older computer that works just fine, but the processor is too slow for the flash upgrade, nor do I have the other system requirements. What can I do to get rid of this nagging bar? I do not mind upgrading to a lower version of flash, providing it is light on memory;but don't know how to or where to get it. I have seen some archives of older versions but they require knowledge of how to do zip files, or how to do the download as it isn't automatic. I currently have something called "shockwave flash 9.0.45.0". The names are another confusing thing. They talk about shockwave flash, adobe flash player, adobe flash; are they all the same thing?
    michelle

    cor-el, thanks for your input. The problem I keep having is that I can't get the system requirements for any of the flash versions except 11, the latest. I have looked on a number of sites as well as adobe. There is no point to download something that won't work with my system, and overloads my memory. My processor is a pentium 3, about 927 mhz. The service pack is 2.
    Another problem I keep having is that for the older versions they keep telling me to "unzip" the file. I don't know what that means, or of course, how to do it.
    Really need some help and understandable directions as am new to computers. This one works great, and I resent these companies putting me in the position of having to buy a new computer just so I can get their newest programs, which in reality are often not as good as the old ones. I cannot afford another computer.

  • Mac is much slower since the upgrade to 10.8.3  freezes and opens up slow accompanied by the beach ball

    Since leaving snow leopard and Mountain lion to Lion , it has been much much slower and freezes while doing simple internet browsing. a few of my apps won't work since the upgrade. Even when i boot up it takes a long while to log in.

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Broadband very slow since exchange upgrade

    Ever since BT "upgraded" my local exchange a couple of weeks ago, my broadband speed has dropped dramatically.
    I'm now only getting around 0.3 mbps, which is ridiculous.
    Will this improve at all? 
    Did the exchange upgrade cause this?
    Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks.

  • Too slow after Yosemite upgrade [info]

    Hello fellows,
    Right After upgrading to Yosemite I started facing an extremely delay almost in everything which I did not face at all before upgrading where they were times that I could use at the same time Chrome, Adobe Photoshop, Word, VMware Machine (Windows7) with insignificant delays:
    On booting a white loading bar appears which takes too long before it loads OSX.
    Almost in every action I take, I see the beachball spinning for too long.
    Sometimes (most of the times) even typing delays a bit and the mouse buttons actions have a remarkable to extreme delay. (No battery or bluetooth problems)
    I tried to take some actions like these ones: http://www.hightechdad.com/2014/10/23/13-tips-optimize-mac-yosemite-installation %20/  & http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/24/speed-up-os-x-yosemite-mac/
    I used CleanMyMac 2
    The general feeling is like having a machine of 90's trying to run an OS designed in 10's.
    More or less my daily usage of applications includes Chrome, Safari, Skype & Microsoft Office. Nothing too heavy most of the time.
    I include EtreCheck report in case it might help:
    Problem description:
    Everything goes slower after upgrading to Yosemite. Also at booting it shows a white loading bar which needs too much time before it initiates OSX.

    Arthur thank you for your response.
    I strongly doubt that CleanMyMac 2 did something bad since I installed it only for this reason and that was today after a week of upgrade, I never had it or knew it before. Also could not do much since I had the demo edition.
    I had the same background processes before upgrading (most of them I need them, except -occasionaly - Flip4mac,Paragon,Akamai)
    Either way there was nothing new installed after upgrading that might caused the issues, so I will wait for other suggestions before doing something more dramatic like reinstalling the OSX from beginning.

  • My MacBook Pro has been running slow since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Any solutions?

    I have a MacBook Pro Processor 2.5 Intel Core i5. Memory 4GB. Since I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite it has been running extremely slow. Any solutions to getting it back up to speed?

    If you enabled FileVault when you upgraded, it will take a few hours for the conversion process to finish, and during that time performance will be reduced. Otherwise see below.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Slow since lion upgrade

    since i've upgraded to lion. my macbook is slow!!! also iphoto very slow and blacking out photos when trying to use them for editing. the screen goes blank. any help is appreciated:)

    Test iPhoto in the other account. You can put some photos in Users/Shared from your normal admin account. Then switch back to the test account and test on those files. If iPhoto seems to work fine, then log back into your problem account.
    Quit iPhoto.
    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
    Then go to Preferences folder and delete com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Relaunch iPhoto and test.
    iPhoto shouldn't do that, but you are running on a bare minimum of RAM. The requirement says 2 GB but IMO 4GB is a minimum for effective performance. Add RAM, it cheap & easy. You can use the wizard at Crucial to find the modules you need.

  • Address autocomplete too slow since the program updated to version 31. I went through all the troubleshooting tips and it still is slow.

    I had this same issue with Seamonkey. I have about 4700 names in my address book. When replying to an email, or creating a new email, the auto email lookup function is very slow and unresponsive. It will generally take 10-20 seconds before it starts to work. Since the update to ver 31, now all my collected email addresses are coming up all red color. It is like all history is gone. It doesn't recognize that these email addresses are in my address book or something...thank you.

    The spurious red addresses is a known bug:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012002
    while the slow operation of autocomplete is probably due to a new feature, that may become a bug:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011952

  • Fetching of email address too slow since TB 31

    Since the update to TB 31, fetching email addresses while typing a part of it and hitting tab does not work.
    Ex. I have an email saved as [email protected] Till the update I would quickly type "samp" and hit tab immediately. It would automatically fetch that email. Since the update I would have to wait till the list of possible email addresses show up and than hit tab.
    This is really disturbing and time consuming. Maybe it has something to do with the recent changes made in that area. How could I disable the new function to revert back to the old behavior and maybe speed things up a notch again?

    There is a more popular and detailed thread about this issue just over here:
