It depends on how saturated your PCI bus. The MEMIO option avoids some processor stalling when the PCI bus is not very idle. You would likely see a decrease in system time, not an increase in performance. >LINT says also that it's not default because does not work on some >motherboards. There is maybe a list of these of something ? Trying is >the only option I've to know if it will work on my motherboards ? :-) You will know almost instantly if it doesn't work. The controller will freeze up. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
