PCI IDE Prefetch Mode
Enabling this option enables this performance enhancement feature on the onboard PCI IDE. IDE data prefetch, when
enabled, saves valuable CPU time by taking the data from the IDE drive ahead of the CPU request. The settings are
Enabled
or
Disabled.
The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are
Enabled.
PCI IDE 0 Transfer Mode
This option sets the data transfer mode for the Performance Rich IDE circuitry on hard disk drive C: (disk 0). The
