Re: How to change from UDMA5 to UDMA6

I think it is limited by the board

I have a Gigabyte GA-8IPE100 motherboard with Intel(R) 82801EB Ultra
ATA Storage Controller built in, my two SATA WD Caviar hard drives
supports UDMA6 but in windows XP UDMA is auto choosen for both
drives.

How to change that to UDMA6, is it a hardware or software problem,
in BIOS I only have the option of Enable or Disable UDMA, in my
motherboard manual it says it supports 150 MB/s operation mode.

I tried some registry hacks but it doesnt work, both drives
performance is arround 60MB on sequential Read/Write, is this the
best performance?

Please HELP.
