    problem with enabling DMA of cd-rom drive

    I got the same problem dude. I have a Samsung 20 GB HDD, LG 52x32x52x CD writer and ASUS K8S-MX mobo with Athlon 64-bit 2800+. I tried uninstalling Sec IDE and rebooting but the same problem continues. By the way I have a thread dealing with the same issue, but i guess ppl gave up! :evil...

    how to degauss in old monitors??

    Yup, de-gauss gun works like a magic wand and that's how you wave it! Just ask any local TV/electronics repair guy to come over and do it.

    My Athlon 64-bit is slower than 32-bit ?!?!?

    thanks for the tip dude, but there were no MasterIdDataChecksum or SlaveIdDataChecksum under 0000. By the way I had only 0000. What does this mean? Only one DMA enabled drive? I don't have a clue! CYa! RoHiT

    My Athlon 64-bit is slower than 32-bit ?!?!?

    Well I feel like a dolt having, as a friend aptly described, "A BMW engine on a Maruti 800". From what I gather I need to: 1. Get a faster HDD (Segate Baracuda 80/160GB 7200rpm?) 2. Get more RAM (512MB) 3. Disable Cool n Quiet 4. Reshuffle my drives (games closer to C: ) Anything else...

    My Athlon 64-bit is slower than 32-bit ?!?!?

    Like i said, i already asked ASUS about the DMA prob. They asked me to do the same thing you did. Both Pri & Sec IDE are with "Use DMA if available". Still Nero bugs me. So i guess there should be another solution. BTW, I haven't come across a forum so busy as Digit's. This rocks!

    My Athlon 64-bit is slower than 32-bit ?!?!?

    Yup, all the drivers are installed properly (from M/B CD) except maybe for the graphics adapter. I guess that's why it shows a long string of chars after SiS! But is THAT the whole problem? Could it be that my HDD is worn out and slower than it should be? It was a second hand. well?

    My Athlon 64-bit is slower than 32-bit ?!?!?

    Hi, I upgraded my Proc, M/B & RAM for AMD Athlon 64-bit 2800+ but still my system performs slower older AMD Athlon 32-bit. Application launching is very slow. Sound skips during heavy workload (on winamp 5.1). Nero gives DMA not active warning everytime I burn CDs. This is the config of my...
