Now, when I am downloading or uploading anything, system periodicaly slows down (period 15-30 sec) that even mp3 playing stops. Really annoying.
Win 2k REPOTEC card recognized as Winbond W89C940 and I can do nothing about it, because there are no Win 2k drivers for REPOTEC card. Updating drivers of Winbond didn't help.
