OnChip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE
These fields allow you either to enable or disable the Primary/Secondary
controller. You might choose to disable the controller if you were to add
a higher performance or specialized controller.
IDE Prefetch Mode
This field allows your hard disk controller to use prefetch mode to
transfer data to increase the performance.
IDE HDD Block Mode
This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to
transfer data to and from your hard disk drive.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO And Secondary Master/Slave PIO
These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster. Rather
than have the BIOS issue a series of commands that transfer to or from
the disk drive, PIO (Programmed Input/Output) allows the BIOS to
communicate with the controller and CPU directly.
