875p neo tweaking and overclocking help needed

Hi all,
Ive had this set up for a few years but never once tweaked the bios for performance and now is the time
System as follows,
875p neo / amibios 3.3
P4 3.0ghz / 512 / 800
2 gb corsair 1 gb crucial ram
Radeon (his) x850 pro agp 256 gddr3
OCZ powerstream 520
4 system fans
2 x 80 gb wd sata
Ive just swapped the ram around to try and get dual working and decided to get the hoover out as well, good job I did because the cpu heatsink had a great wad of dust on the underside and maybe that explains the 70 degree temperatures and system slowing down.
What im looking for is advice on how to get the best out of the cpu / ram / agp card and want to overclock as high as poss without melting the cpu.
Any tips would be great,
Mick

Ok, the combo of all 4 sticks has started causing instability so ive now removed the crucial 2 x 512 and left with the corsair as 1gb in dimm 1 and 1gb in dimm 3. Im happy to stick with this but cannot adjust the bios to make use of the ram's very fast timings of 2,3,3,6 - if I do anything other than auto spd the system crashes, this is a bit of a let down because the options are there in front of me and this new ram cost me a lot of money. I am a little unsure with the ram timings in bios as there are 5 timings and I only have 4 timing specs from the corsair website, the 5th timing in bios is dram burst length and I dont know what I should set this too ?
Yes I believe I have a northwood and I can now try ddr volt at 2.7 and 2.75, this option is now available after removing the other sticks.
If anyone can suggest a way of getting the best out of these 2 sticks I would really appreciate it.
Cheers

Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power. Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.
thanks jimi... jack
will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

[Mostly Sorted] Extracting tags - regexp_substr and count help needed!

My original query got sorted, but additional regexp_substr and count help is required further on down!
Hi,
I have a table on a 10.2.0.3 database which contains a clob field (sql_stmt), with contents that look something like:
SELECT <COB_DATE>, col2, .... coln
FROM   tab1, tab2, ...., tabn
WHERE tab1.run_id = <RUNID>
AND    tab2.other_col = '<OTHER TAG>'(That's a highly simplified sql_stmt example, of course - if they were all that small we'd not be needing a clob field!).
I wanted to extract all the tags from the sql_stmt field for a given row, so I can get my (well not "mine" - I'd never have designed something like this, but hey, it works, sorta, and I'm improving it as and where I can!) pl/sql to replace the tags with the correct values. A tag is anything that's in triangular brackets (eg. <RUNID> from the above example)
So, I did this:
SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                   INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                   INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                   ) tag
FROM       export_jobs
WHERE      exp_id = p_exp_id
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))Which I thought would be fine (having tested it on a text column). However, it runs very poorly against a clob column, for some reason (probably doesn't like the substr, instr, etc on the clob, at a guess) - the waits show "direct path read".
When I cast the sql_stmt as a varchar2 like so:
with my_tab as (select cast(substr(sql_stmt, instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1), instr(sql_stmt, '>', -1) - instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1) + 1) as varchar2(4000)) sql_stmt
                from export_jobs
                WHERE      exp_id = p_exp_id)
SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                   INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                   INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                   ) tag
FROM       my_tab
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))it runs blisteringly fast in comparison, except when the substr'd sql_stmt is over 4000 chars, of course! Using dbms_lob instr and substr etc doesn't help either.
So, I thought maybe I could find an xml related method, and from this link:get xml node name in loop , I tried:
select t.column_value.getrootelement() node
from (select sql_stmt xml from export_jobs where exp_id = 28) xml,
table (xmlsequence(xml.xml.extract('//*'))) tBut I get this error: ORA-22806: not an object or REF. (It might not be the way to go after all, as it's not proper xml, being as there are no corresponding close tags, but I was trying to think outside the box. I've not needed to use xml stuff before, so I'm a bit clueless about it, really!)
I tried casting sql_stmt into an xmltype, but I got: ORA-22907: invalid CAST to a type that is not a nested table or VARRAY
Is anyone able to suggest a better method of trying to extract my tags from the clob column, please?

I don't know if it may work for you, but I had a similar activity where I defined sql statements with bind variables (:var_name) and then I simply looked for witch variables to bind in that statement through this query.
with x as (
     select ':var1

     :varname_dontcatch
     select hello, --line comment :var_no

Help needed as soon as possible...
Thank you...
If you want to help, I can compensate you for helping with an
immediate page..

Thank you for writing. I do need your help, and here's the
scenario. I work for a company that deals with business credit. In
the previous post at

Various Direct Debit and Billing Help Needed

FAILURE TO DELIVER BILL IN PAPER FORMAT: Firstly when I discovered that my account number was encrypted in the email and that I could not pay the bill online, without having the whole account number in full - I contacted BT who told me that they would post my bill and it would arrive in paper form. A week later, no sign of it so phoned again and again I was told that another paper copy would be sent out - waited another week - still no sign! Got a reminder email that my bill had not been paid - doh! I knew that but I was trying to get that sorted out! So phoned again today and the guy in India or wherever the heck he is, told me that he would setup a profile on BT.com for me and this would allow me to pay online.
TEMPORARY ACCESS TO BT.COM?: The email address which this member of staff had set up on BT.com for me was identical to my old btinternet.com account minus a number! The new email address with this new account is somewhat different and when I try to edit simple information on the profile page, it does not allow me to do so. Can anyone explain why?
UNABLE TO SET UP DIRECT DEBIT: I log-in to My BT (whether it's temp. access or not) and then click on Bills and Payments but instead of more options I get a graphic which has got "Ugrade to an online account" on one side and "Help with Billing and Payments" on the other side. When I click on "see all billing and payments help" nothing happens and in fact NONE of the links work.
Would it be the better idea to re-register with BT.com and this time put the correct BT email address in, the one that i was given with this account - see if it works that way?
PLEASE HELP!!!

This is essentially a customer to customer help forum; I could make one or two suggestions which might explain things but would be equally likely to complicate the matter. It all looks a bit messy and you need to get BT's help in sorting it out. The moderators who oversee this forum are jolly good at that and you can contact them here: Contact BT Care Team.
They are busy and may take a few days to respond but will contact you by email or phone, and will have access to your account in order to put things straight.
[Edit: My daughter turned up in the middle of writing this and by the time I posted it KB had replied in similar vein.]

Neo-FSR and overclocking

is the FSR board as good on overclocking as the neo platinum, because it seems you need to use sata 3 or 4 to get good overclocks, has anyone tested that?
and are their any other big differences except the two sata ports?

they should be the same in overclocking

Disk configuration and workflow help needed for lab video workstation

Hi All,
Setting up a video editing workstation for a research lab that will use Premeire to edit AVCHD Progressive clips (sometimes with 2 streams side-by-side, but usually single-camera) and export them to .mp4 for later viewing by video coders. We won't be using AfterEffects or adding anything to the videos other than some text (titles, maybe sub-titles).
The other purpose of this workstation is to act as a file server and backup system for other machines in the lab. Coders will be viewing the exported videos via other networked machines and working with Microsoft Office files that will be stored on the workstation's other HDDs. I'll have a physical backup drive and cloud backup via CrashPlan.
I've built a machine that is probably overkill, but the client (my wife) wanted it to be "fast," and the purpose of the machine might change in the future:
i7-4770K (overclocked a bit)
16GB RAM
Asus Z87-Pro
GeForce GTX 660
I have the OS (W7) and programs on a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and currently have two 1TB Velociraptors to use for the Premiere workflow. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the purchase of the rest of the drives, and I want to keep the Premiere drives separate from the large storage drives from the lab that are networked and synced to cloud backup.
Following the recommendations for a three-disc configuration I've picked up on these forums, I could set it up like this:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs, pagefile)
D: (1TB HDD) (media, projects)
E: (1TB HDD) (previews, media cache, exports)
F: (4TB HDD) (backups of media, projects, and exports and storage of other research files)*THIS DRIVE WOULD BE SHARED ON THE NETWORK
G: (4TB external HDD) (backup of F & drive that backs up to CrashPlan)
but it seems that would be a waste of the speed of the second 10k velociraptor. If I added another SSD and RAIDed the Velociraptors it would be:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs)
D: (Two 1TB Velociraptors in RAID 0) (media, projects)
E: (256GB SSD) (media cache, pagefile)
but would I then need to add another dedicated HDD for previews and exports, or could I store those on the networked F: from above (which would be previews, exports, backups of media and projects, and storage of other research files) without taking a speed hit?
It seems overkill to have a dedicated drive for exports and previews (let's make that the new F:), then have them copy to the first 4TB drive (now G:), then back that up to the second 4TB drive (now H:), then back that up to CrashPlan. However, people might be accessing that network drive at any time, and I don't want that to slow any part of the video process down.
I appreciate any advice ya'll can give me!

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the encouraging response. I'm leaning toward the non-SSD option at this point.
To make sure I understand, are you suggesting I try using the Velociraptor Raid 0 in the 2 disk configuration suggested by Harm's Guidelines for Disk Usage chart? Like this:
C: (256 GB SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (1TB x2 in RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews, Exports)?
Where I'm still confused there, and in looking at Harm's array suggestions for 5 or more drives, is how performance is affected by having simultaneous read/write operations happening on the same drive, which is what I understood was the reason for spreading out the files on multiple drives. Maybe I don't understand how Premiere's file operations work in practice, or maybe I don't understand RAID 0 well enough.
In the type of editing we'll be doing (minimal) aren't there still times when Premiere will be trying to read and write from the D: drive at the same time, for example during export? Wouldn't the increased speed benefits of RAID 0 for either read or write alone be defeated by asking the array to do both simultaneously?
Maybe the reason the Media Cache is on the SSD in the above configuration is because that is what will be read while writing to something like Exports? But that wouldn't make sense given Harm's chart, which has the Media Cache also located on the array....
Another question is, given that the final home of the exported videos will be on the big internal drive (4TB) anyway, could I set it up like this:
C: (SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (2TB RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews)
E: (network shared 4TB HDD) (Exports + a bunch of other shared non-video files)
so I don't end up having to copy the exported videos over to the 4TB drive? Do you think it would render significantly faster to the RAID than it would to the 7200 rpm 4TB drive? I'd like to cut out the step of copying exported videos from D: to E: all the time if it wasn't necessary.
Thanks again.

Flash fading movies and sound-HELP NEEDED

hey guys i need some help
firstly if u want to help me could u please visit this site
http://www.thetimemovie.com/
this site is what i want to do
notice the fading pictures that can be controlled and the
sound bar at the bottom on the left
Any help would b aprreciated GREATLY
thanks in advance
BUTCH101
PS: email [email protected] if u have any info
thanks

What I see in the sample site is that the "sound bars" aren't
sync'd at all. They are just a looping clip that stops in diagonal
shape when clicked. And, the sound is not actually being stopped
when you click the bars. Rather, the actionscript is actually
turning the volume down, gradually. The sound is still continually
playing, you just can't hear it. This is evident in the fact that
when you restart the sound, it picks up not where you left off, but
at the point where it would have been anyway, had you not clicked
the button.
I believe that the sound is set to streaming and as such can
be dealt with frame by frame. So, your real quest is to have
someone (more knowledgable than me) provide sample code that would
begin reducing the volume of the sound object in increments as the
movie moves through frames. Something like:
onFrame (95){
mySound.setVolume(80);
onFrame (110){
mySound.setVolume(60);
onFrame (120){
mySound.setVolume(40);
onFrame (130){
mySound.setVolume(20);
onFrame (140){
mySound.setVolume(10);
onFrame (150){
mySound.setVolume(0);
Obviously, you wouldn't use frame numbers, but a variable
representing the current frame relative to the frame the movie was
in when you clicked the button.

OS X Yosemite and CS6 help needed.

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro (2013) which I want to update to OS X Yosemite but I have one question about CS6.
When I update my Mac system to OS X Yosemite do I have to remove and reinstall CS6? Or can I leave the program on my Mac and update it when OS X Yosemite is ready?
I'm quite worried about this because I'm a student who needs CS6 every day to make my homework. Any help would really be appricated!

@runtimer
@JasonBrimer
Thank you for your reply both. I will wait for a weeks before I update to Yosemite.
This has helped me a lot and ease my worries.
@runtimer
@Rockwellsulcata
@gener7
@Nancy O.
I would appicate if you guys would take the other question to another discussion, because I keep getting alerts on my phone which is really annoying. My answer got answered so there is no reason to keep continue this,

[AMD] K8T Neo 2 and overclocking (giving me headaches)

Yesterday I aquired an MSI K8T NEO2-FIR board, together with an Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester (90nm). Furthermore I used all the old components (Radeon 9700, GEIL PC3500 2x 512MB CL2, 550W Levicom PSU (doing 35A @ 12V) etc etc).
As I read the 3200 Winchester should be a good overclocker. I know the K8T NEO2 isn't the best OC board around, but as I really need the onboard controllers I had to pick that one. Anyhow, I'm trying to overclock my system to get some better performance from it. I can't get it really right though. I've been reading all day long and I learned quite some, but I still can't figure out what to do.
The current situation: I run my HT at 800 Mhz, my FSB at 230Mhz, the AGP is set to 66Mhz, the functionality "Auto disable PCI clock" is set to enabled, the memory is set to run at 1T, CL to 2.0 etc etc.
Although MSI CoreCenter tells me that my CPU runs at 2.3Ghz, when booting it displays either 2000 or 2167Mhz (no matter what I do). It also (always) displays my memory to be running at CL2.5, even when manually set to CL2.0 (as I do have CL2.0 memory). Onthe net I read somethung about hidden BIOS settings. Do they exist? If so, where can I find them?
I know that for heavy OCing, I should not use the onboard Promise controller. As I have to use it though, I know my overclockingpossibilties are somewhat limited.
Who can guide me in this process?

I have the same issue with my memory always posting at CL2.5
I believe it is an issue with the motherboard...
...I have been in contact with MSI about it and they want me to test my sticks individually. I still need to find time to do that (but I really dont think its my memory, as I have read others with different Ram - such as you - with the same problem)
Please let us know if you can ever get it to post at CL2 successfully.
I am able to get it to post at CL2 if I play with voltage's....but it always locks the system and never makes it into windows.

What I need help with is as my laptop is in for repair (complete system restore) can I download iTunes on mums laptop and put a few songs and pics on my iPhone WITHOUT clearing the curent files and leaving me without nothing on it.
Thanks

Use these instructions to open the library from its location on the external hard drive...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

This assumes that everything needed for an iTunes library is on the external hard drive which includes the data base files that contain the info you are concerned about (playlists, counts, ratings, etc.).

SWF and FLV - help needed

Hi,
I'm finding flash very difficult, i've read tutorials and i still find it confussing. What i'm trying to do is embed my FLV video into my website that keeps my XHTML 1.0 Transitional page vaild.
I download swfobject 2.2 and i have a FLV file that i exported from premiere pro CS3, from what i understand i need SWF file to go with the FLV.
When i import my FLV into Flash CS3, choose the skin i want then export everything. I then have three files; FLV, skin and the player. What i don't understand is, i've seen certain skins that are two in one, both the skin and the player.
Could someone please tell me what are the main files that i require in order to get my flash on my html page.
I've spent hours trying different embed codes and nothing seems to work.
I've created a lot of websites, but when it comes to flash i'm puzzled.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I eventually got everything working with swfobject.
I think i'm finally getting the hang of flash, well the basic stuff anyway, lol.

Best practices and tips help needed to create animation

Hi There
I am producing my first project in AE and came across this example which is similar to what of which I need to implement in the project.
http://www.lonja.de/wikipen/
(see 8 seconds in on the imagespot video)
My scenario is I need to portray a network of nodes that are all interlinked (and possibly increasing in number, network links and nodes flourishing from spawn points of other nodes portraying that the network is an infinite expandable entity).
Could anyone suggest how I'd create this, point me to tutorials, or let me know what the actual term for that kind of linked kinetic motion is?
The important thing I suppose is how I manage the workflow efficiently. There must be a more effective way than animating 50+ nodes individually, also how would I best tie the network links that connect the nodes (as in the example) so that they follow the nodes wherever they are (this motion can be random).
Any help appreciated
thanks
Matt

Offscreen drawing and Events help needed!!

Hi,
I have run into a problem... I need to create a rather complicated image with lots of interactivity. As a simplified example, I need to add a grid, a histogram, and a pie chart on the same JPanel.
Normally, you create your images in your class, set up listeners on your graphics objects and voila, clickable images.
But I want to create all my images in a separate class, attach listeners there and then add that image and its listeners to my JPanel. Otherwise my class gets huge and painful- some of these objects (the histogram for example) need to establish URL connections, execute JDBC querys, be threaded, etc. According to what I know about OOP, these should certainly be in their own class.
So, if I wanted to draw a 10x10 grid, I could simply do:
DrawGrid grid = new DrawGrid( 10, 10 ); In DrawGrid, I would have listeners on each cell, so I can keep track of what was clicked.
Adding grid to my JPanel also adds the listeners associated with grid...
I initially tried this as a separate JPanel, and then to just add the new JPanel to the 'central' one, but this wont work because some of my graphics must overlap each other- and I couldnt get graphics to overlay multiple JPanels.
I also created my graphic by extending BufferedImage and then doing:
g2d.drawImage( buffer1, 0, 0, this);
g2d.drawImage( buffer2, 0, 0, this);
Which worked for the images- but none of the listeners worked. :(
I really need some help on this one.
Also what are the best books for Java 2D graphics and interacting with them??? I gotta buy one.
Thanks!
Bryan

From what I understand, you want to have multiple images on one surface and have them all contain their own mouse listeners. As far as i know this is impossible (but what do i know:)
What you could do is have a single mouse listener and subdivide the surface whenever images are placed there. So when the user clicks it checks to see in which section was clicked, then forwards that info to the appropriate object. And to deal with overlapping just have the top image have control over that area. If you needed to get more complex wich your bounderies you could have an array of pixels representing the surface and flag them bassed on the objects in that area.
It may get a bit slow if your boundaries are too complex
