800 FSB, HT, and 865p Neo... Noob question

Just installed my new motherboard, 865p Neo, with a Northwood 2.4GHz P4 800 FSB processor, and it's running at 1.99 GHz at 664 MHz FSB. Is this a jumper problem or a software issue? Please help. :(

?( at the first place why you get a 865p for P4 800 FSB processor? you should get a 865pe or 875p. if can, go and get it change

SSD and HDD? Noob questions

Hi, I've just purchased a reconditioned Thinkpad W540, spec is Lenovo ThinkPad W540 16GB, 256GB SSD, i7-4800MQ 2.7Ghz, 20BHS1DJ00. Noob question, because I've not owned a SSD before, can I install a normal hard drive as well? There are 1TB external drives going for around $70. I've just noticed these hard drive caddys - should I be using one of these? Are all HDD SATA II or III these days? Could I use this drive : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1TB-HDD-HARD-DRIVE-FOR-LENOVO-THINKPAD-W540-Quad-Core-L430-L440-L540-S540-/321439122240?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 With this caddy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nimitz-2nd-SATA-HDD-Caddy-for-Lenovo-Thinkpad-T440p-T540p-W540-/121509644281?hash=item1c4a8a07f9 Second question - what is the recommendation regarding installing software. Should I put it all on the SSD or on the new hard drive? I'll be using the Adobe suite so there's the whole scratch disks issue to get my head around. Thirdly, how do I prove my copy of Windows 8 is genuine and is there a backup of it sitting on my harddrive somewhere? I didn't receive a W8 disk. Thanks in advance for your help.

1) SATA versions are cross-compatible with each other, so you should be fine regardless of which SATA it is.
HDDs are also standard parts and aren't tied to a specific system. You can use anything that's 9.5mm thick and 2.5" diagonal. (Excluding WD VelociRaptors.)
The caddy should work fine. Functionally, they're just a glorified cable. Third-party caddies may have a different fit and finish from the rest of the chassis, though.
2) Depending on how much software you have, you'll want to choose the ones you use often and put those on the SSD. Ideally, none of the software you want to use while on battery should be on the HDD (avoids the HDD spinning up, thus draining battery).
As for Adobe and it's scratch disks, I'd provision a bit of the faster SSD at the risk of wearing it out sooner. The speed helps especially if your workload is heavy. Ideally, you would have enough RAM to never need to page to scratch disks.
3) The Windows 8 key is sitting in the BIOS. The installer should pick it up automatically.

865 P neo 800 FSB issues?

I'm working on a system with an 865 P neo mobo, 2.4 P4 with 800 FSB. The default is 166 on the FSB in the bios, and the chip only shows up as 1.99 ghz. When I change the fsb to 200, it posts, and starts to load the win xp splash screen, then reboots. Anyone else having similar issues? I've already tried different boards and cpus, so it's not a hardware issue. Bios version is 1.1 042503.
Any thoughts ir similar problems, please post.

Man, I spent most of the day on Friday swapping out parts to try and find a bad one.

Thanks again; next time I have an issue I\'ll post here before I spend too much time on it.
My guess is that MSI printed '800 series' on the box to show it's compatible with 800 FSB CPU's (which seem to work, only slower as intended).

865p neo boot up screen Question

This logo however, hides the boot up process. If you need to see what\'s going on, Just disable it in the bios.
ya, i had disabled that. i think what i mean should be the "video bios info on POST". i did posted my question in other forums and so of the guys told me it is normal for some PC that don't show the video bios post and its is nothing to worry about actually...

Problem with MSI 865P Neo and G4 Winfast

Hi all,
I bought the mainboard MSI 865P Neo. Have put it into G4 Winfast A280 LE TDH my vivo. And the problem appeared.
When I doing whatever in Win (for example open explorer, mouse rightclick ...) the screen is simply runing over.
Seems like a video card doesn`t handle it or Screen (monitor) is poor but it`s not. The same problem appears also while Windows is installed.
Little note I want to add is my G4 has new Bios setup and on my second card Leadtek G2 MX everything`s ok. It seems for conflict between the mainboard and my v-card. Have you met similar problem ?
Would be grateful for an answer
Best regards

On my old mainboard - ABIT ST6R (with G4) everything was ok. I changed mainboard, RAM and P4 and problem has appeared.
MSI supports AGP 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V (3.3V not supported)
If G4 needs 3.3V (I can't find G4 how much needs) that problem is obvious. I must change mainboard.
Anyone knows how much G4 poverage needs?

Noob Question - PreComp Layers and Effects

I have precomposed a layer and am wondering why when I apply an effect inside the precomposed layer, it cannot be seen in the main timeline... for instance, I've created a logo on a billboard and precomposed the layer. I added it to the timeline and all is fine. Now, I tried to apply a 'vector paint' effect to a layer inside the precomp. It looks fine in the precomp, but it disappears in the main timeline. Also, I added trapcode particles inside the precomp. They do not show up in the main timeline either. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks to all.

I see them in the precomp but not in the main time.

865P Neo Series

865P Neo Series NOT "PE" can support M.A.T? ?(

Bengho, listen up... You have got to look into the website again before commenting on!!! You are the one not catching the ball not me dude... and I've got the confirmation from MSI rep on this and I'm totally right. MSI rep has admit that the info from your link is incorrect for I865P chipset and they will do the alterations soon.
FSB800 CPUs for MSI I865P and I845 are "OVER CHIPSET SPECS" or "OVERCLOCKED ONLY".
Unlike MSI I865PE/G & MSI I875P series which can ORIGNALLY support FSB 800 CPU WITHOUT OVERCLOCKING NEEDED.
If you would like to confirm, please read the original links below,
MSI I845PE Neo
MSI I865P Neo
MSI I865G Neo2
MSI I865PE Neo2

Hope the links sheds some light to your doubts...

TWO DEAD 865P Neo's

Ok...this is seriously bugging me. :O I bought a 865P neo board 2 weeks ago, and about a week after using it, the mobo went dead. I went and exchanged the board for another 865, installed it, and everything on the comp worked fine. Then a few days later....same thing. The mobo went dead. It doesn't power up at all. When I hit the power button, the fan for the CPU twitches, but nothing powers up. I know the PowerSupply is fine because I tried it on another computer and it worked great. If anybody out there is having the same problem or knows what's goin on I would really appreciate your help....My specs are listed below. I haven't done any BIOS updates either.
SPEC
MOBO: MSI 865p neo
CPU: Intel P4 2.66Ghz 533Mhz FSB
RAM: Kingston 512MB DDR400
PSU: Allied 350W PS
HD: Western Digital 120GB w/ 8mb Buffer
Video: Gainward GeForce4 Ti4200 128Mb DDR
CDROM, DVD, FLOPPY

I tried clearing the CMOS but that didn't work. I also checked out the lights on the D-Bracket and i'm getting a Green Red Red Red, for lights 1,2,3,4. I looked online and that sequence is supposed to be the early chipset initialization. This thing is really bugging me....if you guys know what's goin on...I would really apprecite the help.

865P Neo - reboots unexpectly

Hello,
I just bouth a new 865P Neo motherboard and after I installed WIN XP Pro the computer reboots from time to time...for example if I am playing a game or listen music or even when I copy files from a disk partition to another...
Here is my system:
865P Neo motherboard
CPU: P4 2,4 Ghz Nortwood FSB 133 Mhz Bus Speed 533Mhz
Memory: DDR-SDRAM PC2700 256MB (Freq. 167 Mhz FSB:DRAM 4:5 CAS 2.5 RAS to CAS 3 RAS Precharge 3 Cycle time 7)
HDD: Maxtor 40 GB
Video: Matrox G450 Dual Head
Power source: 3.3 V=24 A, 5V=35A, 12V=12A

12A for +12v is only 120~130watts for the system, whereas a P4 with 2.4B GHz CPU will consume about 180watts with RAMs and CD drives + HDDs...
Btw, have you install intel.inf driver yet? Tryi installing and see if it works.

Syncing & Streaming from the same Library? - Noob question

Good Evening - I have a silly noob question that I can't believe I can't find the answer to on my own: I have been trying to determine if it is possible to sync and stream from the same library simultaneously.
I purchased the 40GB aTV and it has been syncing just fine with my Windows iTunes. I told it not to sync a few albums I never listen to so I wouldn't have issues with other songs or movies. I am upgrading to a new iMac and I am am going to re-rip many of my existing CD's to get them into a consistent audio quality of 192 AAC or above. This is going to push my library size to well over the 40GB limit in just music, not including any movies or TV shows I choose to pull in.
The manual does not make it obvious (or I am not reading clearly) what happens to items that don't sync over - I assume they are still playable but will have to stream. Is there anyway to mark "preferred" albums or artists that should get synced and not streamed in case the iTunes library is unavailable for whatever reason?
Also, when I change libraries is the aTV going to completely re-sync even though the music is must going to be migrated?
Thanks for taking the time to answer these silly questions.

That's not quite what I was looking for.
My question remains, what happens to the items that can't be synced from my main library to my aTV? My library is just a smidge bigger than the available space on the aTV and not everything syncs over. Does that mean I won't be able to play those items not synced from my main library...
As my library grows I don't want to have to choose what does and doesn't get synced from my library by mood. For example, every year my wife buys new christmas music - right now I could exclude it and everything else gets copied over, but come thanksgiving that stuff better be there for her and I don't want to choose other music or movies to remove.
I guess I will just have to play to try it out.

Noob Question: T400 Switchable Graphics?

Just got my T400 this weekend, and I have a question about the switchable graphics feature.
I can't actually find any way to control the switchable graphics. I see the different battery life options and that type of thing, but is there anything that actually says SWITCHABLE GRAPHICS?
I was looking in the Power Manager app but found nothing.
I did go into the BIOS at startup and verified that I do have this option.
Can anyone help a noob out?

Blocked dram frequency - 865P neo

Hi
I have one problem my dram fraquency is blocked in bios. it is set up at 400Mhz and i can't change it :(
I have msi 865P Neo and 2x256 DDR 400 (PC 3200) (dual)
Do you know what i should to to change it ??

Quote from: garthol on 22-July-07, 00:13:41
"400" is what's greyed out
Configure Dram Timing by SPD:
both options doesn't change this situation.
when is disable is block and when enable is the same.
Come on garthol,
Please help yourself by reading through your own products specs, if you think that I'm not of any help. If you are saying that you want to set to 400MHz manually earlier, then we'll know what you want.
The thing is, this board is running on the old ICH5 chipset and does not have native DDR400MHz support. All you can do to acheive DDR 400MHz speed is by overclocking, nothing else.
Please read product page: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=542&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=
