What is a DMA Card?A DMA Card (Direct Memory Access Card) is powerful hardware that connects two PCs together, enabling one system to directly read and interact with the memory of another. This opens up exciting possibilities for developers, researchers, and tech enthusiasts — from building advanced monitoring tools to exploring how systems communicate at the lowest levels.
Second PC RequirementsThe great thing about this setup is that your second PC doesn’t need to be top-of-the-line. In fact, many people use compact and affordable mini-PCs.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit (20H1 or newer)
Ports: At least one working USB 3.0 (or higher) port
Memory: 8GB RAM recommended
Processor: Quad-core, 2.6GHz+ — Intel 4th Gen or newer (or AMD equivalent)
Software & CompatibilityWith a DMA card, you’ll have access to a wide range of tools and software frameworks built around direct memory access. These toolkits make it easy to visualize, monitor, and interact with live system data in real time.
⚡ Please note: firmware is not pre-installed on these DMA cards — you’ll need to choose and purchase the firmware or software package that best fits your needs.
