Anybody using a Via KT880 chipset?

I'm looking to build my girlfriend a cheap Socket A system (I already have lots of spare DDR memory and Athlon XP CPUs) and was looking at a Via KT880 motherboard. Does anyone have experience with this sort of board? Pros & Cons?

Just an update:
I've been using this chipset now for a few weeks and have to say that it's much better IMHO than nForce2 in terms of linux support. The newer kernels have great support for even the gigabit ethernet connectivity and sound. The snd-via82xx module seems much more feature complete than the snd-intel8x0 you're forced to use with nForce2 if you want ALSA. The Via module also seems to support hardware accelerated mixing on this platform where the intel8x0 driver didn't support hardware mixing (because nVidia would not cooperate with technical details) at all.
So, I have considered this an upgrade.

VIA KT880 chipset

Hey folks!
I was just wondering, if MSI plans to launch a Board w/ VIA's KT880 chipset. The specs I've seen were very nice looking at.
And if so, when will it be launched?

Yeah, sorry! Used the searche function AFTER I wrote this!
Sorry! :hypecrite:

Using Skype via WiFi in Europe

The Skype app on my Verizon (Droidx) phone will not allow me to access wifi networks. It forces me to use the Verizon network. I understand that. My question, however, is what happens when I take the phone to Europe and try to use Skype via wifi there?
Will the Skype app STILL refuse to let me use a wifi connection? Or does it "Know" I am no longer in a Verizon area and allow me to use wifi? (I experimented by putting my phone in 'airplane' mode, then turning on the wifi. Other apps connect fine, but Skype app won't allow a wifi connection. So the mere absence of a Verizon signal does not permit the use of Wife). Can anybody answer this question?
Thanks!
David

Yes - just as you in the US. Just don't forget timezones!

TV @nywhere Satellite II DVB-S2 VIA VT6112L Chipset

Hi,
I have MSI TV @nywhere Satellite II DVB-S2 VIA VT6112L Chipset card.
It is working with 32-64 bit BDA driver XP to Windows 8 and I received both of Standard definition & High Definition channels without problem.
I would like to learn about how to setup high speed internet data from Satellite ISP, the card placed only sound, video & game controller at device manager, no driver at network controller.
Please help about how to setup network driver and which software I should use for it.

Have you tried the latest driver from >>Intel<<?

Via Hyperion chipset drivers for K&t266 Pro2 MS 6380

hi all
Having recently re installed XP to new hard drive thought I should update the VIA chipset drivers so have installed 4in1 Hyperion 451v.
Am having some lock up problems transfering files from 1 hard drive to another on the same IDE channel.
Power supply problem identified and new Antec on the way.
Looking for some opions guidance around standard XP drivers vs Via and as this is quite old board should I be using retro Via drivers for stability.
Views, thoughts experience appreciated.

Some kt266 chipsets requires the VIA latency patch.
Fixes file transfer issues, corruption and stability issues.
Improves PCI bus transfer rates and crackling sound issues.
you might want to look into this.

8800GT and VIA 880 chipset = incompatible

As you might have heard, the new VIA 880 chipset is incompatible with the 8800GT.(all versions)
But there is hope as it is possible to downgrade the 8800GT so that it runs with this chipset, as you may read here:
http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,34/func,view/id,47800/catid,13/limit,10/limitstart,0/
Now, I need to flash my VGA, so that I can use it in GEN1-Mode.
Several companies have handed out the necessary *.rom file that allows you to flash your VGA.
(EVGA, Sparkle, Gigabyte etc.)
Unfortunately, the MSI Support I contacted is incapable of doing a short research and provide me the necessary resources...
"Thank you for your support. This card is PCI-E 2.0 version, if your motherbaoard is PCI-E 1.0 version, you can also use it on this motherbaord, but it maybe run at a lower performance."

Since the MSI 8800GT is just standard design you could just use the .rom of a standard GT of a different manufacturer. If you have a oc model it would then run with standard GT clockrates (...unless you're using the bios of a oc model of a different manufaturer).
Of course this would be at your own risk but also the solution.
Another solution would be getting rid of that ASrock board
By the way it is not the via chipset itself that is incompatible. The problem is it's limitation of pcie lanes. As it provides just an X4 PCIe-graphics slot that's a problem for the pcie 2.0 card. That's what MSI support seems to have not understand from your question. You don't have a regular PCIE 1.0 slot and that's why support's answer doesn't help you.

Any experience with USB 2.0 upgrade with VIA VT6202 chipset?

Hello,
I'd like to know, if anybody suceeded with upgrading his PowerMac with USB 2.0 PCI card, which has VIA VT6202 chipset?
I found some of them very cheap and in one e-shop there was a tiny notice about supporting OS saying - MacOS X supported! These cards are sold under different names but all of them have same "L" shape, 1 port inside and 4 outside and there is VIA VT6202 sign on the chip .
Btw I have Quicksilver 2002, 800MHz
Thank you for your answers.
Honza

Well, I've found some notices about cards with VIA chipsets and they aren't very good - NEC seems to be more reliable.
So again, does anybody have any experience with USB 2.0 PCI cards with NEC chipset?
Thanks

I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects. What am I missing? Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum? I have seen no normal options for setting my viewing preferences used for this forum. Thank You.

Thanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:

Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2

Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?

Hi,
We have poor performance problems with 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2.
It looks like the issue could be because of RAC Ccluster.
Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?
If so, What is the JDBC Driver r u using? Also what App Server (Weblogic or OAS etc) ?
Appreciate your input.
Regards
Vijay Chinnasamy

We are using weblogic 10.3. And I am sorry to tell you that we are yet to move to production.
We are planning to have Database in RAC, so i just thought of taking inputs from you.
can you tell me under what operations you face the poor performance issue?
For us the max no. of users in production is around 6k. So I am wondering how this RAC availability will affect the performance.
Thanks for sharing your inputs.

Is there a way to use gmail via pop3 with nokia 60...

is there a way to add ssl support to nokia 6070 becase i cannot manage to use gmail via pop3 because there is no ssl support service in this phone

If the support isn't there, you can't add it yourself.
However, you could try the Gmail Java app to read email:

Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System

I´m sorry, this a new post about an old discussion but I would like to start a fresh dialogue for today; 2011.
Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System (with or without T.Machine).
An affordable alternative to LTO tape? Proved compatibility with Mac OS?
Is it possible to insert a RDX drive as a second optic unit inside a Mac Pro?
Any happy RDX+mac user, so far?
Thanks.

I'm not using RDX on a Mac, but I do have one client I'm using RDX for a Windows server. While RDX is somewhat cost effective over LTO/Ultrium, IMHO it probably wouldnt' be the best for Time Machine. Time Machine expects the previous backup to be online and if you switch cartridges, TM would have to create a new backup from scratch. Then if you switch back the cartridges, your TM bundles are out of sync. I'm not saying it's not possible, but that this is not the "normal" way TM works. So you need to understand what you need to do if you were planning to switch cartridges. (If you weren't planning to switch cartridges, then a "normal" external or internal hard drive is more cost effective than RDX.)
RDX cartridges are basically 2.5" SATA hard drives. The RDX "drive" is, for the most part, just a SATA to USB converter. (Or SATA to eSATA or whatever interface you get.) On the PC the advantage is that you don't have to "safely remove hardware" and you don't lose the drive letter. On the Mac, a "normal" external hard drive is almost as convinient as RDX, since there's no drive letter to worry about. The RDX's advantage on the Mac would be not having to plug/unplug a USB cable on the external units. I suppose you could get an internal eSATA RDX to put into a Mac. I don't know of anyone doing that.
I did use my client's USB RDX drive on his Macbook, just to see what we could do with it. While it worked, we didn't do extensive testing so I can't comment on long term satisfaction with OSX. But so far it's been reliable with Windows for almost two years. (Windows Server 2008 with Backup Exec 2010.) However since RDX is basically just a hard drive, I've gotten the client to realize that in a year or two, we'll probably have to start replacing cartridges, assuming his data size doesn't grow beyond the RDX capacity. This is based on the assumption that the RDX cartridges would have similar longevity to laptop hard drives, which have 3-5 year warranties. We probably will get more lifespan than that, but better to have the client plan in the budget now, rather than have backups fail.

Can I play separate music content to different speakers using Airplay via the Airport Express?

Can I play separate music content to different speakers using Airplay via Airport Express?

If you mean can you simultaneously stream different audio sources to multiple speakers the answer is no. You can only stream a single source to one or more speakers.

Has anybody used the microsoft JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000?

Hi,
Has anybody used the JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000 downloadable from the
microsoft website?When I try using it with WL 6.1 sp1 it says it can't load the
driver.I try viewing the class file from the jar file using the jar utility it
gives an unknown Zip format error.Anybody has any solution for this ?If anybody
has managed to work with this microsoft driver i will be grateful if they provide
me with a solution.
Thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
You may want to download the driver again and install it again.
heres a sample xml tag in the config.xml:
<JDBCConnectionPool
DriverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
InitialCapacity="3" MaxCapacity="12" Name="MSpool"
Password="{3DES}fUz1bxR0zDg=" Properties="user=uid"
Targets="myserver"
URL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://mydbserver:1433"/>
ensure that you follow the instructions from Microsoft. For using 2000
driver you will need to have
Install_dir/lib/msbase.jar and Install_dir/lib/msutil.jar in addition to
Install_dir/lib/mssqlserver.jar in the CLASSPATH.

Anybody using Hypersonic SQL in JSP?

Hello,
Does anybody use Hypersonic SQL?
I implement a guestbook system with JSP that
saves data in Hypersonic SQL. This system
runs on www.mycgiserver.com. My JSP program
has thread safe option set to false to make
sure one thread is reading and writing the database
at a time. However, every once in a while, the
database will be wiped out mysteriously.
So I am just wondering that this happens to
anyone else? Is this a Hypersonic SQL's bug
or it's the server that goofs up or I did something
wrong with the JSP setting? Any ideas or
comments please? Thanks !!!

Hi there!
I use Hypersonic locally and on mycgiserver.com. Luckilly, I haven't encountered your problems so far. I use a similar approach, I have a bean that handles a singleton-connection to the DB, and that will queue up all requests. But so far , I haven't had that much load on the app, so maybe I'll get back in this matter, with the same problem... Anyone att mycgiserver that had an id�a?
regards
Markus
