Hi,
In my bios I' ve an option
IDE Hard Drive Acoustics Mode which can be set at:
[bypass] (now)
[quiet]
[Suggested]
[Performance]
What is this? Has this anything to do with the quietness of my hard drive?
It a dell worstation 360.
Also kinda dived into IRQs. Can someone say whether I've to change
something?
