If you need DMA active at all times you can get it by using a Promise PCI adapter.

It's got to be something in the disk subsystem, CPU speed shouldn't have

disabled on the Intel systems and enabled on AMD systems.

yes, DMA is not working on the systems with the slower
times, though it's not really an Intel vs AMD issue, merely
what the specific motherboard bios is configured to
support... I have AMD boxes that don't support it either.
For example. an Asus A7S333 won't, but an A7V333, will.
