Enable DMA or Not ?
Hi,
I changed my 4 year old cd rom drive which I believe had DMA enabled to a new cd/rw, I see DMA is not enabled. I installed it as "Master" as per the removed cd drive and its a Win'98 system with 400 (P11 equivalent) processor. Should I enable DMA ? Thanks. Mike |

Yes, otherwise burn speed will go down and cpu usage will go up. |

Absolutely. Never try to run a current burner in PIO mode.
