Master/Slave PIO items on the menu.
IDE Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you
set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that
the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 to 4 provide
successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the
system automatically determines the best mode for each
device.
IDE Master/Slave UDMA
Select the mode of operation for the IDE drive. Ultra DMA-
33/66/100/133 implementation is possible only if your IDE
hard drive supports it and the operating environment
includes a DMA driver. If your hard drive and your system
software both support Ultra DMA-33/66/100/133, select Auto
to enable UDMA mode by BIOS.
SATA Mode
There are these options for you to set up SATA mode: IDE,
RAID or AHCI.
NOTE ICH8DO supports AHCI under Microsoft
Windows VISTA and Microsoft Windows XP.
ICH8 only supports AHCI under Microsoft
Windows VISTA.
LEGACY Mode Support
Legacy mode support allows devices to function in an
operating environment that is not USB-aware.
