I do have DMA errors sometimes.  It's not too bad, like with others,
where their systems hang completely and such.  Mine hasn't frozen in
quite a while I don't think.  I just checked my dmesg and I don't see
any DMA errors right now using 0.3.2f, WITHOUT the pcitweak setting (I
think I rebooted the computer the other day).  Just to make sure it
wasn't set, I read that register and it's showing 0x00008080 now,
whereas it used to be 0xFFFF or something like that.  So, as we can
see, my problem isn't too bad...no DMA errors as of yet.  I won't hold
my breath though, as they're bound to show up sooner or later.

I guess I'll run the pcitweak command again and see if anything shows up.
