32-bit Transfer Mode
Common Options : On, Off
Quick Review
This BIOS feature allows you to command the IDE controller to combine two
16-bit hard disk reads into a single 32-bit data transfer to the processor.
This greatly improves the performance of the IDE controller as well as the
PCI bus.
Therefore, it is highly advisable to enable 32-bit Transfer Mode. If you
disable it, data transfers from the IDE controller to the processor will
only occur in 16-bits chunks.
