Hey under Win2k the 4-in-1's only install the newer AGP driver - is that normal? I thought I'd get a lot of things updated...

The Win2k AGP driver seems to be the same as the previous two 4-in-1 releases, and so is a bit older than Microsoft's 'hotfix' AGP driver.
The Busmaster IDE driver is new though, and worked wonders for me. I used to find one of my drives reverting from UDMA to PIO mode when transfering large files between drives, this no longer happens!Comment

I noticed the same thing under winnt.

Interestingly I can't tell anymore what mode my drives are in. The entry that used to show PIO or UDMA mode is no longer there.Asus A7V133, Duron 750@847, 512mb PC133 Crucial RAM, G400 DH, Maxtor 7200rpm 40 & 15GB, Liteon 16/10/32, Samsung 12x DVD, SB-Live, D-Link NICComment

well, under win2k & the new 4in 1's my ibm 75dxp 30gig ata66/100 is now a scsi harddrive! & performance is terrible.Comment

Rick, if you ferret around in the 4-in-1 zip file, you'll find a file called SETDMA.EXE which when run shows you what each device is running in and also lets you enable/disable DMA.

I did come across the DMA utility, first time it's actually worked. Haven't noticed any real change in HD performance.

...I'll take that as a no then ;-)
I noticed the new driver increased my burst rates from about 40mb/s to 64mb/s on an ata66 drive, but the 'real' performance figures remained unchanged.Comment
