On-Chip Primary PCI IDE

As stated above, your system includes a built-in primary IDE controller, which
operates on the PCI bus. This setup item allows you to either enable or disable the
primary controller.

Enabled

Primary IDE controller used (Default).

Disabled

Only one PCI device can be active at a time.

PCI Concurrancy

PCI concurrency means that more than one PCI device can be active at a time.

Enabled

Multiple PCI devices can be active (Default).

Disabled

Only one PCI device can be active at a time.

PCI Streaming

Data is typically moved to and from memory and between devices in discrete chunks of
limited sizes. This is because the CPU is being used in the exchange. On the PCI bus,
data can be streamed, that is, much larger chunks can be moved without the use or
intervention of the CPU.

Enabled

Streaming allowed on the PCI bus (Default).

Disabled

Streaming off for the PCI bus.

PCI Bursting

The PCI bus supports a mode by which large amounts of data is moved in short intense
bursts. This item allows you to turn this feature on or off.

Enabled

Bursting allowed on the PCI bus (Default).

Disabled

Bursting off for the PCI bus.
