InTheWayBoy Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Well it looks like this is a feature of the chipset...here's a what a PDF on Intel's website has to say about it:When fast back-to-back operation is enabled, the 21555 can initiate a sequence of posted memory write transactions without inserting an idle cycle between them, assuming all other conditions are met (That is, GNT# is asserted, and STOP# was not asserted for the previous write transaction). The 21555 implements primary and secondary fast back-to-back enables in the primary and secondary command configuration registers. These bits are set when possible to reduce PCI overhead.I kinda see what it's talking about...looks like it would be a nice feature to have. However, I can't find any info on actually using or enabling the feature. Maybe someone else will have a idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex0dus Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 (edited) well i did a google on it found Thiswill start researching a little bit more, that link is rather old hardware but might have a little bit more insite into it i havent read to much of itseems like its motherboard specific like if your mobo supports it or not. can be fore pci, cpu,ram Edited September 14, 2005 by Ex0dus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt476 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 how do i find out how to enable this option is there something i have to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Well, if it is controlled by the chipset, then you would normally do that in the BIOS. But I've never seen that setting in any BIOS I've ever touched, and I've seen almost all of them.It looks more like this was an idea that really never got supported, or just kinda fell through the cracks. If your board is an Intel 81x class chipset then it's quite old. I think you're probably never going to get it enabled, and even if you do by now it can't be that big of a speed improvement or everyone would be doing it.Not that you shouldn't try, but at some point you just gotta give up...Good Luck!

Delepitor Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have been Building coputers for some time and i toke about 15 minutes to look up this and have come to find you probly wouldn't want this enabled unless you had a very good resone to. becouse all it does is anable pci card to talk to each other see intells paper on this http://www.intel.com/design/bridge/applnots/27838101.pdf if any body come up with any more info let me know though my BFG Physix card Supports this feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
