845G Max-L Memory Compatibility

Could anyone tell me if Corsair 2700XMS / 3200XMS memory is compatible with 845G Max? ?(

LSU What BIOS Ver u using?....
I have just purchased 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS2700 running at 166Mhz. With one stick works fine (I have checked boths sticks individually). However when I place the 2nd stick into DIMM 3 (as per DIMM config diagram) the machine either fails to boot or hangs... I must admit I haven't tested the second DIMM into DIMM2, but I'm not holding my breath... I have checked the video card too... Placed in my Radeon 9700 locks and also placed in my GF4 Ti4600 and locks too... With one stick (either of them) is fine... One more note I have tried running at 133Mhz too and I still get the same problem...
is it with MSI, can't they release a board that actually works reliably...

I have problems with grafick motherboards MSI 845G max when i play games

There diff x4 agp and x8 agp.......... nothing!!!!!!!
Check you have INTEL application accelerator installed!!!!!!!
845GE-Max is very fast mainboard, only the single channel mem make's it slower than 865/875 chipset........ fact
Check ALL drivers are COMPAT with system NOT the latest............. Try older drivers

845G Max problem

My system is running fine at default speed. When it's overclocked to 133MHz FSB, it will always crash at the same spot when booting into Windows. That's when I use the Intel built-in graphics card.
When I use the TNT2, it will only boot into Windows in safe mode at 133MHz. And I see a lot of conflicts in the display card properties, i845G something, can't remember.
There's no option to properly disable the built in AGP. And why is it not working at 133MHz, I thought at 133MHz, everything is running at default speed, right?
Here's my system specs:
P4 1.8A
MSI i845G Max
Corsair PC2700 RAM
Creative TNT2 (when I test)
DLink NIC
BTW, the same processor works fine when it's overclocked to 145MHz FSB using MSI 645DX.

My RAM is a PC2700, even if I change the ratio, it is still within the RAM spec.
Intel Extreme is extremely stable at 100MHz FSB as stated earlier. It will crash at the same spot when booting into Windows at 133MHz FSB.
I tested using a TNT2. It won't even boot into Windows at 100MHz FSB. But using safe mode, TNT2 works fine at 133MHz FSB. But when I checked the display properties, there's a lot of conflicts in between the Intel Extreme and TNT2.
Now my question is, why I can't use my TNT2 even at 100MHz? It was working fine using another MSI 845G Max before I sent for RMA.
Why Intel Extreme doesn't work at 133MHz FSB? I've tried all the memory timings, ratio FYI. It has nothing to do with RAM timings I'm afraid. I tested the same RAM on my KT3. 166MHz at agressive timings run perfectly well.

845G Max L (MS-6580G) Bios 1.40 Issue

I ran MSI's Live Update 2 and downloaded bios 1.40 for my 845G Max L (MS-6580G).
When I went to run it I got a strange warning and it tried to locate some sort of DOS files.. what is up with this? Is this a beta bios? Is this a mistake?
If not, what is it trying to do? I chose to ignore the error and it did flash my machine, but I am unsure of what it might have missed.
Please Help!
Thanks

Will ddr400 work on 845G Max

I'm thinking of buying a secondhand pc from a mate 4 cheap to do some serious OC'ing.
But i've got a bit of a prob....the mobo only supports upto ddr333 and i can't set
the memory frequency lower on his mobo meaning i can only clock as far as the memory will alow it. So im thinking if i can stick some ddr400 i'll be safe not to fry the memory.
So is it possible to put ddr400 in a board that only supports upto 333?
Its a 845G Max mobo with a 1.8b P4 cpu

Hi Sean
Have tried........NO GO!!! No2 led Green than grass on a fresh cut lawn or
field!!!
Had quick look on MSI tw site......and it's a NO support of DDR400 on 845GE Max.............
As I said.........if mem is cheap and WORKS grab it.....coz you can always upgrade to a faster MB later......Lo54d3L......????

845g max processor support?

do you know what processor i can go up to on the 845g max?i now have pentium 4 2.26 my manual says pentium 2.4 and up.but how far up?

Depends what you are doing and what else you have in your computer.
Usually a memory or VGA card upgrade will give a better preformance boost than a CPU upgrade.

Impact of project.max-shm-memory configuration in Solaris 10

Dear All,
I'm not sure if this an error or purposely configured as it is.
Current kernel configuration of project.max-shm-memory is *400Gb* while the hardware only have 8 GB RAM, and SGA_max set to 5GB (ORACLE database is 10g).
Will there be any impact in long run with this configuration based on your experiences?
project: 1: user.root
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged *400GB* - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
Suggestions and advices are much appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Eric Purwoko

Hi Helios,
Thanks!, the recommendation is 4294967295, but my SGA MAX and target is 5 GB. Will it cause problem if I put project.max-shm-memory lower than SGA?
Thanks for the link too. I guess I better put those configuration in /etc/system too.
But now wondering what's the best value looking at my SGA max configuraiton
Best Regards,
Eric

Can't get COM2 to work on 845G MAX

I'm running the 845G MAX with a 2.26 P4 and 512mb RAM on WinXP Pro.
I am unable for get any I/O through COM2. To test the ports, I'm using HyperTerminal over a null modem cable to a laptop. When running this config, I have no problem communicating over COM1. However, when I switch to COM2, I get nothing. Strangely, the software recognizes COM2 as being there and active, but I can't get it to communicate.
I am using a connector that terminates to a DB-9 male and fits perfectly in the COM2 port on the motherboard. In the BIOS, I tried setting the Super I/O setting for Serial Port B to both auto and also forcing COM2. Nothing.
And the strange part to me is that any software I run seems to recognize COM2 as being active, it just cannot communcate over it.
Any ideas?

Try swapping the pins in the cable (ie. 1 with 2, 3 with 4, 5 with 6, etc). Also, the pinout in the manual is wrong:
Wrong:1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9
Right: 1 6
2 7
3 8
4 9
5
Worked for me!
Good luck.

Shminfo_shmmax in /etc/system does not match project.max-shm-memory

If I specified 'shminfo_shmmax' in /etc/system and hava the system default in /etc/project(no change is made), the size of 'project.max-shm-memory' is 10 times larger than 'shminfo_shmmax'.
#more /etc/system // (16MB)
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=16000000
#prctl -n "project.max-shm-memory" -i project user.root
=> will display like below.
project: 1: user.root
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 1.49GB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny
1.49GB is 10 times larger than 'SHMMAX'. If I add more entries /etc/system like below, max_shm_memory will become even larger.
#more /etc/system
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=16000000
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=2000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=2000
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmni=2048
After I reboot with the above /etc/system and no change /etc/project(all default, no values added)
# prctl -n "project.max-shm-memory" -i project user.root
project: 1: user.root
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 29.8GB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
Can anyone shed light about this area how to configure SHMAX in /etc/system right?

We saw similar behavior and opened a case with Sun.
The problem turns out to be that the (deprecated) /etc/system to (new) project resource limits isn't always one-to-one.
For example process.max-shm-memory gets set to shmsys:shminfo_shmmax * shmsys:shminfo_shmmni.
The logic here is that under the /etc/system tunings you might have wanted the maximum number of segments of the maximum size so the system has to be able to handle that. Make sense to some degree. I think Sun updated one of their info docs on the process at the end of our case to make this clearer.

How to set kernel parameter max-shm-memory automatically at startup

Hi,
We have a 11.1.0.7 Database on Solaris Sparc 10 64-bit server. We have settings of max-shm-memory as below;
-bash-3.00# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project default
project: 3: default
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
        privileged      50.0GB      -   deny                                 -
        system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -
-bash-3.00# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project system
project: 0: system
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
        privileged      50.0GB      -   deny                                 -
        system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -
Whenever we restart the db the second one is lost;
bash-3.00$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project default
project: 3: default
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
        privileged      50.0GB      -   deny                                 -
        system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -
bash-3.00$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project system
prctl: system: No controllable process found in task, project, or zone.
So our sys admin has to configure them again whenever we restart our db. How could I do this automatically at startup without counfiguring again from command prompt?
Thanks,
Hatice

Ok it is clear now. I have one more question. When I check system I get below error;
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project system
prctl: system: No controllable process found in task, project, or zone.
Document says; The reason for the message reported above is because there is no active process(es) belong to the project.
But it is impossible for us because according to our project settings its for root user;
bash-3.00$ cat /etc/project
system:0::root::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,53687091200,deny)
user.root:1::::
noproject:2::::
default:3::oracle::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,53687091200,deny)
group.staff:10::::
oracle:100::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,53687091200,deny)
Is it because I check with oracle user and I don't have sufficient privileges or there is something wrong with it?
Thanks.

Max-shm-memory - definition

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get a clear definition on project.max-shm-memory. Lets say its set to 4GB for user.oracle. Does this mean that the maximum amount of shared memory available to the project is 4GB or that the maximum shared memory segment size created by ANY process in the project can be 4GB (i.e 2 processes could create 2 separate 4GB segments)? I'm pretty sure its the former but I wanted to check..
Thanks,
Tony

Even though SUN says many of the kernel tunables are now obsolete in /etc/sytem, some like shmmax actually will still work if reset with the global zone. The default is 1/4 system memory.

/etc/profile: line 28: ulimit: max locked memory: cannot modify limit: Oper

Hi;
I writed one sh which is checking tablespace size and its working well ( i used this before for someother client) Now i try to run it on one server and i have this error:
/etc/profile: line 28: ulimit: max locked memory: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted in /var/spool/mail/root
Anyone has idea what is problem?
Thanks

Well, check line 28 of /etc/profile, and see what command it is trying to execute. If it's a ulimit -l command, check if the value it is trying to set the limit to is higher than the current ulimit value of the current user. If it is, then that operation is not allowed. You can increase the limit for the current user (at login time) by modifying /etc/security/limits.conf . This is documented in the various guides, notes, whitepapers that talk about installing Oracle database on Linux.
