Computer Shopper magazine has an article stating that 32 bit
disk access generally offers little performance benefit to most
computers except those based on the,

Intel Premiere/PCI II mthr-brd /w onboard EIDE and Neptune II
chipset which have 179% improvement in Disk WinMark 95 scores
when using 32 bit-disk-access.

Apparently this motherboard/chipset combo can take advantage of
32 bda in a way that other boards/chipsets cannot.

Does anyone know if Gateway, Dell, Zeos, or Micron use this
motherboard and chipset in their pc's?
