Default How to "turn up" my Maxtor HDD transfer rate

...and ps I also meant to say, if you are running ATA100 and also using it's
40 wire ribbon cable, and on top of it running the other HD off it as
Secondary - that is a disadvantages way to do that. (you can't have two
master in the stock environment anyway) The proper way is ATA133 with its
80 wire cable greatly enhancing data transfer, as well as running each HD
as Master specifically off of the two master ports that the Promise ATA 133
PCI Controller Card gives you and that's the beauty of that - and in that
way you have a fighting chance... Also, imho&e, Let Windows Manage Virtual
Memory and make no changes there!
