The first think > i need to know is why FreeBSD isent supporting udma 66 or udma 100. FreeBSD 4.0 has ata/66 support. I think SUSE linux was the first OS/Distro to support ata/100, tho I don't know of any drives/ or motherboards that support this. Having your ata/66 drive it can't run at ata/100 anyways, so that's not a concern. > Using10Mbps internet connection with udma33 is waste of bandwith. Huh? 10Mbps is still slower than ata/33, having ata/66 on a 100Mb network is still pretty damn fast, typically it's not the hard drive that has the issues, unless the only thing you are doing is transferring files (one single huge, file at that) back and forth. > Currenly windows cant use 10Mbps but unix could if they began to support > udma66 or udma100. Please have i missed that function or isent it developed yet? Windows can't do 10Mb? I don't think this is true as Windows supports 10 & 100 and even 1gb cards I believe. I wish my harddrive was the slowdown, but almost always the bottleneck is the bandwidth. --Chad Ziccardi Hufftown To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
