Yes, because ATM i don't know why it doesn't work. It's just for debugging.

The 64-bit DMA is only available on Adaptec controllers, all other I2O 
controllers only work with 32-bit DMA. Although the 64-bit DMA is (as far 
as i can remember) slower then the 32-bit DMA and is therefore only 
useful on systems which run out of memory.
