:-)

I can't remember exactly why, but trust me, it will work.

Have you actually tried it yet? It should automatically set it to the
drive's highest capability (controller allowing). Frankly, I've never seen a
DVD drive, or any other optical drive for that matter, capable of DMA66, nor
would it even need to be (33 is the highest I've seen). In any event, give
it a try, I'm sure it will work.
