UDMA 100 & Win2k Service Pack 2

[gustavo]

Having learned that win2k has an issue with UDMA 100 mode, defaulting ever to UDMA 66,
I installed the Service Pack 2, supossed to solve the issue.

But now my doubt arises how do I know which UDMA mode is my system using ??

Besides, which other improvement should I notice if any ??

Brief of the system: Win2k (now service pack 2) on a MSI K7T266 PRO, Tbird 1Ghz 266 FSB)

Thanks Gustavo.-

you could try running HDTach & if burst transfers are above 66Mb/s then you're using udma5 transfers!
do make sure that you have DMA enabled for the drive in device manager as well!

Ok, I´ll try.

Also I was wondering should I notice any improvement at all after installing the service pack 2 ??
I did not .

you'll not really notice any real world difference between ata66 & ata100 modes, only in benchmarks!
