ASUS p5b-deluxe sloowww xbench Hard drive score

[sensimeon]

I am running an asus p5b deluxe on ideneb 10.5.7 and everything seems to be working great, I have audio, internet, and full graphic support. It even boots up hella fast.

 

The only problem is my xbench scores are horrific. If i try to do any serious photoshop work my copmuter crsahes.

My usb read/write times are quadrupled. transfering a gig takes 10 mins!!!

 

In my system prefrences, the hard drive shows up in the Intel ICH8-R AHCI section, I thought this board had ICH-9, perhaps thats a problem?

 

There are two JMicron AHCI that have no drives. I'll hook the drive up to those and see what I get...
