[Patience with a newbie please. This is my first homebuilt....]
I have a WD 7200RPM 40GB drive on a Gigabyte GA-7DXR board. SiSoft Sandra utilities are benchmarking this drive at the same speed as a 30GB 7200RPM ATA/66 config. So I'm wondering if I've got the ATA/100 set up correctly.
The VIA IDE util thats on Gigabyte's web site shows the drive in ATA/100 mode.
Are the SiSoft untilities accurate? Are there other things I could/should be doing to get the max performance out of this drive?
Thanks.
Jim
