raid video crazy laggy Help me!

[r_shortt]

ok so I'm going nuts. I needed to add some more space to my rig and I had a promise fastrakk 66 raid controller and a 120 gig drive. So I tossed it in. I have tried every slot on my board but only one will accept it.

The downside is video is laggy and unwatchible. Heres the kicker. If its Quicktime or MPG and played through Quicktime it works fine. Similar with Divx and Divx player. Anything else won't play right. Dvds, MPG,divx,xvid through WMP, MPClassic or VLC. You name the codec and the player it won't work. Now before you scream codec problems if I remove the raid card the problem goes away.

MSI ultra 645
Radeon 9800 pro (updated the drivers about a weekago)
Promise Fastrakk 66
intel nic card
Audgy 1
usb2 pci card

I've used a similar setup before except it was an 8500le.
I've tried everything and I can't figure out why it would do this. ANy suggestions welcome.

Does this apply to all videos, or just videos on the new harddrive?

it applies to videos played from any harddrive or my dvd rom. Not just the drive connected to the promise controler

if it helps the audio keeps playing fine the video plays then stops then plays then stops. So the video lags behind the audio. But like i said eariler if you take the promise card out everything works fine.

It sounds like there could be a resource conflict between the different cards you have. You may want to try swapping cards to different slots and not just the IDE card.

Also, is that Promise card a RAID card or an IDE card? There is a difference. Even if it is a RAID card, since it's the Promise chipset, it should work just fine as a single IDE hard drive. You may want to see if there are updated drivers for the IDE card if you have not already done so.
