Increasing the PCI Bus Performance

(PCICacheMode registry entry)

On systems with 64-bit PCI slots, use the display

driver to enable write-combining for the display

controller. Enabling this function can improve video

performance on the board by 100% or more.

The results: faster image loads, increased window

and level speed, and enhanced system performance.
