DMA, or Direct Memory Access, is a hardware feature that allows certain devices to access system memory directly without involving the CPU. This can significantly improve performance for data-intensive tasks. To check the status of DMA on your system, you can use the following steps:
1. Open the Device Manager.
2. Expand the “System devices” category.
3. Right-click on the DMA controller and select “Properties”.
4. Select the “Status” tab.
