    I have an Intel D845WN mobo with a P4, 2.6GHZ set up with Intel Application Accelerator v2.3 installed. I've been reading alot about enabling DMA on hard drives to improve performance, but DMA is not available if you're using Intel Application Accelerator.
    Does anyone know if removing Intal Application Accelerator and enabling DMA on my hard drives would give me the best performance, and if so, what would be the procedure?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    My guess would be that the Intel Application Accelerator is using DMA anyway and therefore you don't have the option to turn it off.

    Download Everest and look under Storage > ATA to see which transfer mode your drive(s) are using. I would expect to see UDMA

    Just go to the Intel Application Accelerator in the start/all programs menu it will show you all the information. It would be nice if it showed up in Device Manager but it doesn't.
