DMA transfers on these chipsets are very very buggy. I stopped using the onboard IDE on VIA chipsets about 3 years ago becuase of DMA problems. I reccomend using a Promise ATA/100 controller instead(PCI card, runs about $20-25), they work flawlessly in my experience, rock solid. I don't reccomend the RAID version of the card however, just the normal ATA/100 or ATA/66. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
