For most people (95% at least) it's fully functional, including DMA (even UDMA100), both channels (I have never seen a problem with the 2nd channel?), etc. There are some people who have problems, namely Abit KT7 users, but a BIOS upgrade seems to fix those case usually. > I used some pre 2.4.1 kernel before it thrashed my disk and i had UDMA > disabled in bios and kernel and the corruption persisted.
