As Intel’s upcoming Viiv 1.0 disables DMA functionality, the first batch
of Viiv PCs are recognized to be more like high-end entertainment PCs,
the sources commented. By June, when the chip giant introduces the
DMA-supporting 1.5 version, PC makers are looking to roll out a more
complete digital home product line, the sources said.
Is this a CPU or a motherboard thing, and If DMA is disabled isn't that
going to hurt performance something awful? Intel hasn't actually been on
top for awhile so maybe they just gave up and ship whatever they can
now?
