ATA66 and Windows 2000

[slipperyslope]

I have heard that windows 2000 doesn't support ATA66. It didn't really matter to me but I just upgraded to a KT7 mobo and I can take advantage of my ata66 western digital hard drive.

If it supports it then how to do you enable it after I have re-enabled ata66 on the hard drive?

thanks,

Jim

It supports '66 just fine, but you need to do a registry hack first. I'm not sure if this applies to your chipset though:

Interesting..The date on the article is Aug 24. I wonder if the ATA66 hard drive benchmarks done by many hardware sites prior to this date are any good ?
