Yes thanks Peter. Someone fwd'd me Ben's email (evidently something in his header that's I had to block recently due to attacks from his ISP), and he said that, so that confirms my suspicions. It is the IAA that removes that "advanced" tab and the DMA info you can see in the IAA. -Clint
Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oops missed that Clint, can't help you there with IAA as I have no boards with an Intel chipset. But I asked a friend just now who is running an Intel board and he says that DMA is turned on by default when IAA is installed. To get the tabs back you must uninstall IAA.
