N2: Rendititon/DMA Problem

2 posts by 2 people · 21 Mar 1997 - 21 Mar 1997

From a friend of mine....: >>To all: I am having a problem running the DMA version of Nascar2. I have upgraded the bios on the 10 day old motherboard and I am using the Screamin' 3D video card. The normal rendition mode works OK, but when the DMA version runs(only for a short time) it runs great. I have contacted Sierra and the motherboard company and both can't seem to help. I have run the DMA test program and I get values of 79M/sec. But when I run the DMADIAG program it says my system can't run DMA. Anyone out there who has had the same problem and has fixed it, please email me with some help. John McClaren<< Can anyone help? Thanks! Jimmy

I had trouble running DMA without first booting Windows 95. It appears that the Triton chipset gets reprogrammed by Windows 95 thereby enabling DMA support on the PCI bus. DMA diag still complains - but N2 runs fine in DMA mode. /THansen
