I have a question regarding setting up the bios on this board. To enable Ultra DMA the configuration options are disabled, 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. The PIO mode for IDE device options are 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Which options would I use to enable an Ultra DMA 100 hard drive? The manual doesn't explain it very well, just shows the default settings as 4 for PIO and disabled for Ultra DMA. Thanks.

Enable "Auto", "PIO4" and "4" for the drive in question. If you're using all 80-wire UDMA IDE cables, go ahead and enable 4 for all drives. If the CDs are on 40-wire cables, "2" is best.

4=UDMA100
3=UDMA66
2=UDMA33
