[casimir]

hi, first i want say a big hi to all, since i'm new in the sharkyextreme forum, and as far as i have see it's one of the most rockin around the net, especially the higly technical wich is missing on other board.
So, on the tweakbios1.53 there's this option listed under IDE options
PM IORDY sample point: x clocks
and it says lower clock rate is better, wich i think in twkbios language means not faster, anyone knows what is this option?

Its a bus signal that tells the drive when to do an xfer between the drive's cache and your system's bus. Your drive will assert it to slow down the xfer for whatever reason. If I read the spec right lower is better.
