I tried looking for it on the net but didnt find a single clear statement conveying that the raptor supports this 32-bit data transfer feature.

I figure, since i did read that it does enhance peroformance slightly for SATA drivers, and since my driver does not support it and i enabled it, then my motherboard will just neglect my selection and keep it disabled.

But anyhow, if my raptor does support it, then should i enable it?

The feature only applies to P-ATA devices. For SATA it's irrelevant. If you have any P-ATA devices you should have it enabled.

Thanks. I guess the motherboard just disregards my having enabled it. But i will remove it.

It doesn't matter either way. Most motherboards just have it enabled by default and do not even give you the option to turn it off, since there is no reason to ever disable it.
