update for a compaq bios
Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2002 11:27 pm
I have a compaq presario 1690 , i upgraded the cpu to a k6-3+
compaq never released any bios updates for my product, and hence most of the features with k6-3+ are never enabled in the bios.
with win2000 the DMA on the secondary IDE never shows any perfomance improvement. {{{ initially after a fresh install it picks only pio mode, but after changing the registry or using the new ali ide drivers / patch it says UDMA word -2 , but the performance is still the same }}}
many people in compaq forums, have been asking for a bios update, but compaq has not released nor worked on it , since 2000 .
the chipset for this presario is , ALI M1541 and ALI M 1533, the bios chip which uniflash detects is Amtel.
can anyone help, atleast to enable DMA from bios so that it works with win2000.
thanks
