I've got a laptop system with Red Hat 9 installed on it. I noted the other
day when I was in the BIOS that LBA mode was turned on and I wondered if
perhaps I should have turned it off before installing. Would I have a
faster system if I were to turn it off and reinstall?
Here are my hard drive stats:
