Rich, Same here. I did a clean install on a Dell 800 PIII that's 11 months old and it defaulted to PIO mode. Same on the Intel AL440LX PII-266 MBs and the Intel SE440BX PII-400 MB. Of coarse those are older MBs. Now my NEC Z1 PIII 450 that's 13 months old, was upgraded from a WinME clean install but WinME had been set to use DMA. Anyway, the Dell 800 had DMA-66 and it flew in Ultra-DMA mode. The others have DMA-33 or slower. Thats one reason I like the Adaptec AAA133U2 RAID board with wide fast SCSI. I keep my swap file and programs there and it zips right along. Unfortunately, I have to run it as an AAA131U2 board as Adaptec has not released the Win2K driver yet. Ticks me off because I had the older model 133 raid board and they charged me $399 for an upgrade because "they wouldn't be releasing Win2K drivers for the older board". Best, Steve
