a quick MSI Pro 2-a question

[megatexel]

I have this system setup right and everything. Via 4 in 1 drivers installed and all. But I don't think i'm running ATA 100. I use win2k. What do i have to do to get the best performance out of this? I didn't install the promise driver because I don't see it listed or anything.

could someone please drop me a hint?

also I enabled my udma66 in the registry. would it work if I set the DWORD to Enable UDMA100 ?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Win2k supports UDMA100 at all. I believe Service Pack 2, which is in beta form right now will fix this issue.

I think i am only using ATA 33..

do I have to install the promise driver or what?

why would it be on the webpage if i don't need to use it?

There's almost no difference between UDMA/33 and UDMA/66 on any current hard drive, so UDMA/66 and UDMA/100 are equal in almost all imaginable situations.

The storagereview.com still test all of their hard drives with an UDMA 66 controller.
