He's talking about how much resources some IDE CDROM's hog. A crummy IDE CDROM with a small cache can knock the hell out of even a P2's performance. Losing 10-15 fps wouldn't surpise me a bit. Sounds like whatever he was running was accessing it all the time. >What the hell are you talking about?!?! >> I took the CD out of the CD Rom Drive
