Just wondering if an ATA100 controller card is slower than a motherboard IDE channel? I can't tell if it's slower, but it is slower to boot because my BIOS has to look for the controller card.
Is there a way to shorten this time? I have the card set to SCSI for the boot menu because I have been told that you should. Is there another setting I can set the BIOS to that would be better?
BTW.. I have 2 WD1200JB 8mb cache drives on my ATA100 controller card and then I have my dvd and cd burner on the motherboards IDE channels. I thought that giving everything its own IDE channel would give me the best performance.
Do you think a ATA100 controller card would adversly affect a JB drive in any way?
TIA,
Sal
