Here's the pci.exe output for the Dell laptop.
Dell Latitude D630
BIOS A02
Intel Core 2 Duo processor 1.2GHz
Windows XP vintage machine
1280x800 display
BIOS Setting: "SATA Operation" set to "ATA"----I changed this back to AHCI and the computer is loading the AHCI driver per pci.exe.... so this one could work with AHCI I think.
Does recognize and looks to be using 2 processors.
Wired ethernet works, wireless does not.
Thanks.
