Don't bother changing it. I've heard that someone has tried and has corrupted his HD. To check the effect try your kernel with and without via ATA support. check with hdparm -tT /dev/hd? to check for performance gain. When you have via ATA support, you should be able to get higher performance trough dma tranfer. cheers, Chanop -- ,----------------------------------------------------------------. | May Debian be with you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ chanop@debian.org| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://thai.anu.edu.au| `----------------------------------------------------------------'
