Subject: pci-dma disables iommu on nforce4 motherboards?
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 10:20:47 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43AD674F.1040008@comcast.net> (raw)

I have an asus A8N-E motherboard and recieve the following message on 
boot. 

PCI-DMA: Disabling IOMMU.

I have no issues with anything not functioning.  I guess i'm just 
curious as to why this is done and if i'm missing out on any sort of 
performance gain by not using the iommu.   I have less than 4GB of ram, 
would that be why it's disabled (which is why i think it is)?
