Increase your hard disk speed....

To speed up your hard disk speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the disk.

This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.

Follow these steps:

1) Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.

2) Expand the system.ini file window.

3) Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].

4) Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type

Irq14=4096

Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!

Click on the File menu, then choose Save.

Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.

Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.

IRQ14:-

Description: On most PCs, this IRQ is reserved for use by the primary IDE controller, which provides access to the first two IDE/ATA devices (usually hard disk drives and/or CD-ROM drives). On machines that do not use IDE devices at all, this IRQ can be used for another purpose (such as a SCSI host adapter to provide SCSI drives). In order to do this, you will normally have to disable the IDE channel using either the appropriate BIOS setting (for integrated IDE support on newer boards) or jumpers on the controller board (for older machines that use an IDE controller card).

Conflicts: Problems with IRQ14 are rare, since the universality of its use for IDE means most peripheral vendors avoid offering it as an option. If you are using SCSI and not IDE, and want to use IRQ14, make sure any integrated IDE controllers are disabled first.

As you can see , The method works only for older ide drives and not the newer sata drives , But I recommend that you don't change the default value of IRQ14 , as it has a potential for causing memory conflicts , for only a meager improvement in performance.
