Want to first thank you for your help.
What may perhaps be your thoughts about the memory slow up I mentioned? I've tried everything I know of to try to solve this problem but haven't beem successful. When this situation occur I closely watch my HD activity light to see if it may be the drive access. I've measured my drive speed using Sandra which results in about 50mb and I've tested my memory using Sandra which indicate about 48mb. When I run windows explorer to copy many directories/files to another drive the process starts out fine and then eventuall slows. I've thought in the past that the problem may be the Promise controller however it also happens with the Intel controller. I've insured that the PS is adequate, and the memory and CPU is not overheating. My CPU temp runs about 37C - it is water cooled. Right now I'm reinstalling XP and FS9 all over again. I don't think I want to do this any more. I have backups but it still takes about 4 to 5 days to reinstall everything. I have an Abit IC7 Max3 also which I have a P4 2.8 just about the same setup but without the drive access or memory slowdown symptoms. I wish I had installed FS9 on this system instead of the ASUS but wanted to give this brand a try. I can't even do a backup using Acronis TrueImage 9.0 with the Promise controller. Anyway - Thanks for your help.
