Stick'o ram

All right I finally got a motherboard that will let me play games and is quite stable. About two hours after I got it I went browsing around in device manager to see what all new drivers it installed. It made my hard drive work on UDMA mode 2, while it made my DVD-RW work on UDMA mode 4 like it should. My hard drive is ATA-100 (udma mode 5) but it won't change and their is no option in the bios to change it. I did a benchmark with PC Wizard 2006 and it indeed is running at ATA-33 speeds expect for buffered read which was 2x what a SATA-300 gets. This is bizarre if anybody has any suggestions, thx.
