DMA66 vs DMA33

This is a discussion about DMA66 vs DMA33 in the Windows Hardware category; Howdye peeps, What is the big deal about upgrading to DMA66 compatiable ide-controller? Especially since you nowdays usually have to change the entire motherboard to get it. Ofcause you buy an expansion card but that will occupy a free pci slot and that stinks when you need all those 5 (like me).

How large is the diffrence between dma66 and dma33? is it really noticable?
 
I haven't seen any benchmarks on the net, so if you have any i'd appreciate getting the link.
 
Does dma66 work better under win2k than dma33 does?
 
And a last question, which is the best dma66 controller if you recommend upgrading? is it the new abit motherboard? I've got as of current a stinkin BH6 mobo.
 
 
Thanks!
