With an ATA-100 controller, udma5 should be ok, I guess. The reason I asked is that the ATA controller (or the BIOS?) on my 440BX happily negotiates a nice, fast mode in the udma5 (IIRC) range with the disk, but anything above udma2 works like crap. With the built-in controller, that is. /Sam ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
