Is there software out there that will confirm your hard drives (IDE) are running at ATA/100?

Also I just built the following system

AMD XP 2000
SOYO Dragon Plus Motherboard
120GB WD JB 8MB Cahce IDE HArd Drive
60GB IBM Deskstar IDE Hard Drive
Visiontek Xtasy Ti4400 128 DDR AGP Gforce 4 Video Card
512MB DDR PC 2100 Ram
Audiogly x-gamer sound card
using built in Network card for ethernet
OS WINDOWS XP Home Edition with Windows XP Office and Plus


What are the best software (free 😉 ) programs out there to get some benchmarks on my system?

Thansk in advance.
 
OK I am now confused.

I checked the primary IDE Channel and clicked properties and then Advanced tab. It says Device 0 current transfer mode is Ultra DMA Mode 5 and Device 1 current transfer mode is Multi-word DMA Mode 2??

Am I not configured right?

I have a IBM Deskstar Ultra DMA ata/100 and a Brand new WD 120gb JB 8mb Cahce Ulrta DMA ata/100 drives?

Any thoughts??

 
Ultra DMA mode 5 is Ultra 100. In the first IDE channel of your setup, device 0 is a master device (a harddrive, judging from it being mode 5) and device 1 is the slave, probably a CD-ROm, DVD or burner. If you hooked your other drive as master in the 2nd IDE channel, you need to check the 2nd IDE channel settings.
