The system has the afore mentioned motherboard with an AMD SlotA 600MHZ CPU and 256 meg SDRAM PC133 ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP and Win ME full version. The system will not retain native DMA settings in Windows on reboot and when the chipset drivers are installed all the correct devices are detected on reboot but when restarting the PC, the system will WPF resulting in a system restore back to a previous time before the drivers are loaded to get it running again. Also it appears as though the Sound and AGP share an IRQ11. I know it's an old board with a relatively low end cpu in it but it's all the people can afford right now and it will be used mainly as an internet device and for burning cd's as well as the occasional DVD movie, thus the need for DMA. Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
