Ultra DMA (UDMA, or, more accurately, Ultra DMA/33) is a protocol for transferring data between a hard disk drive through the computer's data paths (or bus) to the computer's random access memory (RAM). The Ultra DMA/33 protocol transfers data in burst mode at a rate of 33.3 MBps (megabytes per second), twice as fast as the previous Direct Memory Access (DMA) interface.
Ultra DMA was developed as a proposed industry standard by the Quantum Corporation, makers of hard disk drives, and Intel, makers of chipsets that support computer bus technology.

Ultra DMA support in your computer means that it will boot (start) and open new applications more quickly. It will also help users of graphics-intensive and other applications that require large amounts of access to data on the hard drive. Ultra DMA uses Cyclical Redundancy Checking (CRC), offering a new level of data protection.

Because the Ultra DMA protocol is designed to work with legacy application PIO and DMA protocols, it can be added to many existing computers by installing an Ultra DMA/33 Peripheral Component Interconnect adapter card. Ultra DMA uses the same 40-pin Integrated Drive Electronics interface cable as PIO and DMA.

Hope that answers your question

How is that incorrect? heh.
Also, i'd rather ask on here than search Google as you get more opinions or variations on here, some of which you'd probably never have looked for.

Incorrect, and I only take offense to people who would rather bother someone else than take the time to look it up on google.
