PCI DMA



Hello,

We are currently working on a project which requires intensive DMA from a PCI 
mastering device at a sustained (that is, for several seconds) bandwidth of 12
MByte/s, with bursts of up to 20 MByte/s. We will be working with a commercial 
Pentium motherboard with loads of memory. 
Do any of you have real experience with something like this? I understand that 
the Intel Triton will accept burst writes to main memory, but will it be able 
to sustain the required data rate?
Note that we are certainly not planning to use DOS of Windows in this project.

Thanks,




Meindert Kuipers
