SATA - 32-bit?

[Dazzer]

My motherboard has defaulted the SATA drives to 32-bit transfer disabled. Should I set them to enabled?
My MB is an ASUS P5P and one drive is SATA I and the other SATA II, though the board only copes with SATA I. The CPU is a 775 3GHz.
If a enable 32-bit transfer, will the drives be faster?

Sata is a serial bus. so 32-bit is not applicable to SATA.

enable it should not affect the speed.

This has to do with the block size of data being sent over the PCI bus or to the southbridge from an IDE hard drive controller (ie, a PCI IDE card). The default setting for the block size is 16 bits (2 bytes). You have the option of increasing that to 32 bits (4 bytes). This will over a bit of a speed increase.

Like alfie2 said, this will not affect SATA.
