Hi. I have an Asus CUSL2-C and an IBM 75GXP hdd. I am currently running Win2K professional. The only thing I installed from the Asus CD was the "INF Update Utility for 815 Chipset." For optimal performance is there anything else I should install? What's the deal with the ATA100? Should I install the "Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver"? Or should I wait until SP2? And how about Win98SE? What do I do to have ATA100 working on 98SE? Thank for your time.

The INF update is not enough to get ATA100 support in Win2K, it is only the first step so to speak.
AFAIK, there are two ways to get ATA100: either by installing the Win2K ATA100 hotfix (which will be included in SP2), or by installing the Intel Ultra ATA storage drivers.

I don't know if Win98SE supports ATA100 without installing any drivers. But you can install the Intel Ultra ATA Storage drivers, and you'll get ATA100 support for sure.
