Recommended DMA settings (transfer mode settings)
DMA (Direct Memory Access)
DMA is a method that transfers data between various peripheral devices (e.g.,
a hard drive, CD-R/RW drive, etc.) and the computer memory without going
through the CPU in the computer. Using DMA transfer increases not only the
data transfer speed but also the processing speed by decreasing straining of the
CPU.
