Jumpy Games...HDD?

Alright, my system specs are in my signature, so i'm not gonna restate them.

Doom 3 is by far the biggest problem. Farcry Second, UT2004 third.

The game is v-eerrr-yy j-umm-p-p-yy. it's like data isn't getting to where it needs to go fast enough...almost like a video lag, but it's sort of apparent it's not that.

i've installed doom on different HDDs...something i might mention is that in bios my hard drives will not pick up(not be seen)...could this be resulting in a problem?

i've even tried reformatting...something isn't right...do SATA need special drivers to get them going? this is really annoying because i want to buy HL-2 today!

i would appreciate any type of help....

What he said :P

1. As for your problems, check the drive transfer mode :)
2. Define jumpy
3. Why are ur drives connected to a raid controller?
 
alrighty...they aren't on Raid. I have 3 serial ATA drives that are suppose to be seen as IDE's(or just a plain hard drive) from bios and not the raid set up.

jumpy would be when i game i get -brief- pauses in the game before it continues. it happens frequently so in turn this makes the game difficult, as well as annoying beyond belief to play. occasionally it will become severe enough for me to want to find a .44 magnum and shoot my computer.

I did run 3Dmark2005 and scored something around a 3742. I don't generally like those things but I was getting desperate.

I am currently in the process of downloading the latest and greatest nvidia drivers release 11-09 as well as i flashed my video cards bios to the newest release. we'll see how that works out.

so i'm starting to think i'm getting throttled somewhere in the motherboard...could flashing bios help this? they did come out with a new release i've yet to get. and i've had this problem only since the mobo switch....

any other ideas?
 
alright...i now have

newest BIOS for both mobo and Video Card...
new nvidia drivers..
newest mobo drivers...

system runs better but still jumpy and noticeable to not only me, but everyone that plays it.

I have ran some disk utilities like speed disk etc...they did help...so i'm guessing now it's a HDD issue. the utilities are really the only things that made it have a noticeable difference.

so...anyone know of some good utilities other that systemworks '05 or some other way to get the most out of a SATA 7200rpm? :P

i think i just suck and computers hate me.
