DOES GPL USE DMA ON RENDITION

I have'nt heard anybody mention if GPL will use dma or not . Rendition card owners could get even better performance with a -dma or -4 switch when we get the AI cars on the track with us . Will they use dma in the full version ? NASREND & RENDDMA are night & day on my machine .
I'd be more than willing to bet that DMA is currently being used in the demo. I think the only reason NASCAR and ICR provided a non-dma executable was for compatability with older motherboards and BIOSes that did not support DMA correctly. Practically every board in use today (P133 and above) should support it. Also, it's very possible that the latest Rredline code can detect whether or not DMA is supported and enable or disable it automatically to get the best performance. Darin
