    PCI IDE Bus Mastering For Windows 7


    Hi everyone.
    I have just built myself a new pc and ihave come across a setting in my bios that i have never seen before.
    The setting is for PCI IDE Busmaster enabled or disable.

    Which one should i choose for windows 7 also all my drives including my dvd drive are sata devices does this make a difference.

    Thanks

    Hello Rob, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Since your drives are all SATA and none IDE, you would want to have it set to disabled. The link below gives a description of what it is and does to help. :)

    Hi, thanks for the quick response i did have a look on google but knowhere quite explained it very well.
    I did think that it maybe for older ide drives but i was unsure as to whether it would have any effects on sata drives.
    Anyway thanks again
