What is the difference between IDE & ATA ?
I ran the Belarc Advisor on the Dell site Back in May and it showed listed under my Controllers:
Standard Floppy Disk Controller
Intel(r)82801BA Ultra ATA Storage Controller
Primary IDE controller(dual info)
Secondary IDE controller(dual info)
However,when I ran it again today on the Belarc site it listed the Controllers info thus:
Standard Floppy Disk Controller
Intel(r)82801BA Ultra ATA Controller
Primary Ultra ATA controller
Secondary Ultra ATA controller
I loaded the updated drivers for the Intel 850 Chipset and Ultra ATA Storage Controller in June.Could that have caused the change?
