MSI Keeper 945GME IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO, IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Udma

[Disabled] to deactivate an interface, if you install a primary and/or second- ary add-in IDE interface.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

The IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode for the IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In [Auto] mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA

Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows ME, XP or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33, Ultra DMA/66, Ultra DMA/100 and Ultra DMA/133, select [Auto] to enable BIOS support.
