1.10 Question:
How to enhance and improve the system performance?
Answer:
You can enhance Hard Disk and CD-ROM drive performance. You can see the improvement when
running Winbench99.
You will want to enable DMA or Ultra DMA support on IDE devices to improve performance, because
this feature enable supporting hardware to copy data directly into memory rather than having the CPU
copy very byte. This capability greatly lowers the CPU utilization of the system on I/O interfaces.
However, you will want to disable this feature if you frequently encounter data corruption during this
feature enabled. To enable DMA or Ultra DMA setting:
1. Click Start button -> Setting -> Control Panel. Double click System and Click the
Device Manager tab. Navigate to Disk drives and double click Generic IDE Disk
