T43 slows down during file transfer

#1 Post by kidofberlin » Sat Mar 18, 2006 6:41 am

Hi everybody,

every time that I´m transfering files through my LAN, my T43 slows down extremely. I watched the processor load and its nearly 100%, so far so good, but when I watch the Network Load it is only about 30%. I'm wondering wheter its a driver problem or my T43 is simply a lowcost modell and therefore a bit slower. Transfering Data from my CD-ROM drive to the HDD causes the same trouble.
All Drivers have been updated using the IBM Update tool, and all Windows Updates are on board, too.
Beside this problem its a really great machine doing a well job!

I`m thankful for any hint :-)

Have you installed any additional memory, or are you just using the factory 512MB configuration that came with your 1871-4AG?

Also what is you memory utilisation at, as you hit 100% CPU when doing LAN transfers?

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Bill,

I'm currently using 1Gig of RAM in the primary slot, during a transfer
my "control panel" tells me:

Physical memory
total: 1038768
available: 653400
Systemcache: 539004

The Network is at about 13% while transfering 4 files over an 100Mbit Ethernet Connection simultaniously.

Hope this helps for diagnostics, I also made some pictures that I may post on demand.

Thank you in advance.
