===========================
Using The UltraTune Utility
===========================

The UltraTune utility will appear as an icon labled 
"FastTrak Tuning" in the Control Panel. Click on the
icon to start the tuning utility.

- CHOOSE APPLICATION TYPE
Here you can check either "Business/Games" or "Audio/
Video Editing" (NOTE: This option will be grayed-out
if you are using Windows NT). Choose the option which is 
most like the applications you will be running. "Audio/
Video Editing" will work better with applications that
require high sustained data transfers rates. After choosing
a setting, click "OK". The system will need to be rebooted 
so that the new setting can take effect.

- PCI BUS UTILIZATION
There are some cases where there may be some PCI bus 
contention with other PCI devices. One known example of 
this is "glitches" while playing .AV| files with some 
brands of video capture cards. In such a case you can
decrease how long the FastTrak occupies the PCI bus while
transferring data by moving the PCI Bus Utilization slider 
bar towards "Less". Click either "OK" or "Apply". The new
setting will take effect immediately - it is not necessary 
to reboot the system.
