Well I have a Athlon 64 bit 3000+ processor (venice) attached to ASUS K8V-MX board and 512 RAM. I have one 80 GB harddisk on primary master and one DVD-ROM on secondary master. And a 80 GB SATA drive on SATA1. If I disable the Onchip SATA Boot ROM in BIOS and boot the system into windows 98 from my normal harddisk, there is a 4-5 second delay before windows starts booting. If I enable the Onchip SATA Boot ROM setting in BIOS, this delay is around 7-8 seconds. I just wanted to know from people, is this delay normal or there is something causing this. I have already played with all the settings in BIOS and could only increase this delay not decrease it. I am also confused about two similar settings in BIOS.
Onchip SATA Enabled/Disabled
Onchip SATA Boot ROM Enabled/Disabled
Whats the differnce between the two? According to me changing the former doesn't have any effect. Whether its set to enabled/disabled doesn't mean anything, its the BOOT ROM thing which matters. Am I right?
