Would like to know how to setup the hard drives for optimal performance, running slackware 8.1 .
I seen some topics on this , but none understandable . .
Therefore it would fun to know how to set the hdparm for my Computer.

I have included the hardware I use.

--------------- my computer ---------------

CPU: Intel P3 800mhz coppermine
Chipset: Intel 815
mobo: Asus cusl2
HD1: IBM Deskstar 75GXP 45GB
HD2: IBM Deskstar 120GXP 80GB
