Re: [Nolug] Enabling DMA from hdparm The Debian Way

Thanks for the advice,but:
It still caused trouble after being up for a couple of days, so I think
I agree that the problem is with the chipset.
After reading enough reviews to scramble my brain I have decided on the
ASUS P4B533-E motherboard.
If this does not work I will go from there.

Thanks
