Direct Memory Access (DMA) 


Direct Memory Access (DMA) and Ultra DMA 

Direct Memory Access is the technology which allows components, such as disk drives, to access the computer memory directly, bypassing the central processor. This greatly speeds up the overall functioning of the computer. 

In computers, speed is always of the essence. And the newer, improved standards, like Ultra DMA and DMA/33 and DMA/66 stand for data transmission rates up to 33 and 66Mb per second.
