Re: DMA settings?

Well, I resolved my problem, although I *DO NOT* recommend my method...

I added some RAM -- top-grade Crucial 1GB sticks -- and ran them through a
6-hour torture test to make sure there were no compatibility problems. But
as soon as I brought up Windows, wham! It crashed bigtime. End result was
that I blew up my registry, and had to revert to an 8-month-old backup from
right after I installed the system.

So with some work I'm almost back to functional again. And guess what, I
checked Primary1 and it's UDMA now! Secondary0 was PIO but I changed it to
"UDMA if available" and, after a reboot, now it's UDMA too. I can burn a
CD and not even notice it.

Nice to know SOMEthing good came out of that disaster!!! :-)
