DMA is a chipset function. Chipset is a permanent part of the motherboard. There is a slight chance that an errant peripheral is inducing the fault. Unplug drives, plugin cards, and all USB. If you get the same error, move reset jumper (labelled RTCRST) to the alternate pins for 30 seconds then back where it was. If you still get the same error, try it with one memory in socket 1 and then the other.
If all these tests produce the same result, motherboard is bad. It may be more practical to replace the entire system. Though motherboard is cheaper than system, all the other parts are the same age and could fail before you get money's-worth out of new motherboard.
The 'Beep' codes are listed on the 'Advanced Troubleshooting' page of each system's service manual.
Here is the Page for the Dimension 4700.
