rgodart 0 Posted August 12, 2001 I noticed there is a setting in x-setup to enable ata66 in win2k because it is not enabled as default. Does this do anything?? I use a highpoint 366 ata 66 controller with a maxtor ata100 drive. How about ata100 drivers?? Is ata100 not enabled either when using a ata100 controller, or does sp2 fix al that?

FadedTimes 0 Posted August 12, 2001 I believe that is for intel chipset controllers, that can do ATA 66. Also SP2 ads it for Intel chipsets that can do ATA 100. I have a Promise ctroller, and I get ATA 100 preformance, in win2k with or with out the reg setting nor SP2. From what I've heard the card automatically tells the OS in the driver to run at a certain speed. Should be the same for other controllers. In device manager if it shows your hard drives as SCSI the drivers/controller are taking care of the speed. If you drives show up as IDE, you would need to enable the hack to get ATA 66.
