Enabling DMA mode makes my computer slow & noisy

I recently purchased a 20GB Seagate Barracuda ATA II, but it seems to run really noisy & slow, & make the computer very slow (booting, opening windows, responding to clicks, etc) when I enable DMA mode in the device manager, even though it will then benchmark 40% faster.

This happens whether I'm using MS's default Win98 IDE driver or VIA's IDE driver. I also sent my drive back & got another one, yet they both reacted exactly the same way, when DMA was enabled.

Thanks
