Enter for a chance to win a Ballistic Gaming Computer.
I have put a system together with the above mobo and is running with 2 HDD and 1 combo cd/dvd as follows: 1. Raptor 74gb SATAI (05 version), running on SATA0 2. Seagate 80gb SATAII, running on SATA1 3. Lite-on DVD, SATA, running on SATA2 All the above running on the intel chipset (the gigabyte one is disabled). There are two options on the bios. SATA RAID/AHCI Mode, disabled SATA Port0-3 Native Mode, disabled. On the windows all the above devices are reported as Ultra DMA 5. From what i know UDMA 5 is ATA100? Are the SATA drives run at their maximum bandwith and if not are these BIOS options make a difference? I have changed to native support in Bios but i have seen no difference. I have installed xp pro on the drive so any changes on the above options for bios will require to re-install? Thanks for your help
