       In my BIOS settings there is a command for enabling 32-bit transfer
mode if chipset supports. How do I find out if my chipset does? I contacted
the mobo manufacturer and downloaded a spec sheet on it. I cant find anything
there. I have a BCM FR520. The board is actually listed as a IN530 on the
site. Same board and has a SiS530/5595 chipset. The only other place I found
the board at was a site in the UK listed as the Miami mobo. Also same board.
What exactly is 32bit transfer mode and if I'm not using it now, what is
being used? Does this have to do with information transferred from the HD?
Thanks all for helping out a 'greenhorn.'
