What is the chipset used in the Aladdin motherboard?
The Aladdin uses the Intel Triton 430FX chipset. This includes the 82371FB (PIIX) PCI ISA IDE Accelerator, which is a multi-function PCI device implementing a PCI-to-ISA bridge function and an PCI IDE function. It provides two independent high performance bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3 and Mode 4 devices for up to 16 MB/sec transfers. Support for ATAPI devices is provided in the system BIOS. The system BIOS also supports Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and ECHS on both IDE interfaces. When used in conjunction with a special driver the IDE interface operates as a PCI bus master for optimum performance in a multi-tasking environment. One such driver is provided by Intel for the Windows 95 environment. You may be able to get the Intel bus mastering driver from Gateway. You may also be able to get an updated version of the Intel bus mastering driver v2.85 on the web, but it isn’t supported by Gateway. I use it with no problems though. You can learn more ab
