After restarting, you may enable or disable DMA mode for your IDE devices by going through
steps 1 to 2 and then the following steps, and finally step 4. DMA is capable of very fast
transfer rates using Bus Mastering. Bus Master DMA uses less CPU resources than other
transfer modes and therefore, it is useful in multitasking environments, where the CPU can
work on a different program while data is transferred to or from IDE devices, such as hard
disk or CD-ROM drives. Ultra DMA/33 almost doubles the maximum transfer speed of the
ATA-3 standard and improves data integrity.
