If you need different drivers for the chipset on the motherboard, it has to come 
from the motherboard manufacturer, the chipset maker, or the manufacturer of the 
computer if it is a big OEM type machine.  Without being able to see if you are running 
in DMA already, you won't know if you really have DMA enabled.  If you are already 
running in DMA, you obviously won't be able to speed anything up as far as the HDD. 
 There are no generic utilities that I know of that handle all types of different 
manufacturers of motherboards/chipsets. 

Who is the manufacturer of the machine or what brand and model motherboard do you 
have in your machine?  How much memory and what is the CPU speed? Need to know that 
info to be able to help at all or give you an idea as to what you should expect from 
your machine.
