2GB Compact Flash CF slows VISTA laptop
I have just inserted a new 2GB Toshiba CF card into my laptop and find that
the cursor/machine slows whenever I transfer files. File transfer is also very slow. The device has been identified and installed correctly and I tried removing and reinstalling the drivers. PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Controller version is 6.0.6000.16386. The property field lists "generic disk drive" at Channel 0, target 0, lun 0- the data is the same as my HD, could this be the problem? I get the same problem with two other CF cards, one 16MB and another 256MB. The 2GB is rated at 150x, the rest 12x. |

How much RAM do you have in your machine? It may be trying to read those
files, and your RAM is filling up, slowing it down quite a bit. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com Espana2006 wrote: I have just inserted a new 2GB Toshiba CF card into my laptop and find that the cursor/machine slows whenever I transfer files.

1GB RAM but the same thing happens with other cards (16MB, 128MB).
Note drive is showing as a PIO mode 4 device but the DMA option is not available. "Dustin Harper" wrote: How much RAM do you have in your machine?
