Increasing the PCI Bus Performance
(PCICacheMode registry entry)
On systems with 64-bit PCI slots, use the display
driver to enable write-combining for the display
controller. Enabling this function can improve video
performance on the board by 100% or more.
The results: faster image loads, increased window
and level speed, and enhanced system performance.
