You asked why I am concerned with slight variances in speed - my answer to that is, I am not - the issue was "Am I getting the appropriate speed for this setup" or is something I did messing with its normal performance

I have recently built a system with a "GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L" motherboard. I am using a Western Digital WD800JD Serial-ATA Hard Drive. Currently I have it in SATAII0. In Bios it is reporting that it is an IDE drive. I have run benchmark tests and it seems as if my scores for HD are weaker then...
