BIOS Update for nVidia GTX 550 Ti? I have a BIOS "not for production use"

Hi,
I bought a new computer about a month ago, and it all works well, but every now and then, the whole system freezes completely for 2-4 minutes, and then afterwards resumes where it was. This is extremely annoying, and it really could be anything, I don't have evidence that it's the video card, but I'm trying to get everything updated to the latest version.
When my computer boots up, I see this message:
GF116 P1050 SKU 0 VGA BIOS
MSIMV261MS.105Version 70.26.20.00.00
Engineering Release - Not for Production Use
Build Date: 02/23/11
Revision Date: 02/16/11
Copyright © 1996-2011 NVIDIA Corp.
So, evidently this BIOS is wrong, and i'm trying to update it, but I can't find where to download an update.
Could you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you
Daniel Magliola

I noticed the same thing... BUT I made 2 mistakes:
Failed to make a copy of this BIOS using GPU-Z
Updated to 1.06 via MSI Update 5 (26110.rom)
Then I read the posts on this subforum and realized my mistakes.
I'm just in the initial stages of installing software on this machine, so I haven't noticed any problems.
I saved the updated BIOS via GPU-Z and compared the hashes against the 1.06 BIOS offered by MSI on their page for this card (NV261MS.106) ==> they matched MD5: 52ECDDEFAEA86E745C09FF8A43541078
Afterburner 2.1.0 gives the following info:
Quote
Display device : GeForce GTX 550 Ti on GF116 GPU
Display driver : ForceWare 266.71
BIOS : 70.26.20.00.00
GUID : VEN_10DE&DEV_1244&SUBSYS_26101462&REV_A1&BUS_1&DEV_0&FN_0
My question is how badly did I mess up and what should I do now?
Thanks in advance.

Will I be able to upgrade my HP Pavillion m8530f 's graphics card to NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti

ive been looking all over the web to no avail on a variety of graphics cards that i can install on my desktop. Ive had my eye on NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti but i need to know if i can get some good graphics out of my machine

Hi,
The motherboard in your PC has a not so good history.
Open up you PC and do some measuring to make sure that the GTX 550 will fit. This EVGA is a good model but there aer other brands just as good. The card is 8.25" in length. The slot adjacent to the PCI-E x16 slot needs to be vacant.
You will need a bigger power supply. A 500 watt power supply should be sufficient for the GTX 550.
Look at this Corsair CX500. It's a good quality power supply.
You should open up your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your power supply. Here is a list of things to consider:
Specifications
Total wattage - important
12+ volt amperage rating - important
Modular - not mandatory but I like the flexibility
Warranty
i7 and SLI ready
Efficiency rating
Cost
Physical size -- standard ATX PSU is 5.5" by 5.9" by 3.4" give or take a few tenths
A single 12+ volt rail is a better choice.
www.newegg.com has lots of PSUs choices. Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake.....

[NX6200AX-TD128] Firmware: engineering release not for production use

Hi,
i just got my MSI NX6200AX-TD128 (602-V011-010) card
B0505000867
and it shows this bootup firmware info:
BIOS 5.44.A2.02.00 engineering release not for production use
Why is MSI selling these cards with a firmware like this?
Why there is no updated firmware for download?
(searched here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=679&kind=2 )
Where can i download a retail fw?

This is a user to user forum and MSI does not read or participate in these forums.
You need to contact MSI directly to get answers about this BIOS...
I see... thank you.

But... why overclock a 6200 video card??? I really doubt that you get a better performance in games or 3D app's with this video card.
Quote from: Richard on 07-August-05, 22:20:30
Trying to overclock a 6200 is like trying to Supe up a Yugo. What is the point, there is nothing you could do to it, to make it play today's games.
Take Care,
Richard
here are some articles about overclocking the 6200:

too bad that i found these articles after i spent my money.
next time i'll do some research before buying and not after... :P

Web Service Developer Pack for production use?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the licensing is for use of the web services developer pack reference implementations? Can they be used in a production environment, or are they for development purposes only?
Any information is appreciated.
Holly

The JWSDP can be used for production use. It is not just
a reference implementation. The exception is the bundled
UDDI registry which is just for testing development.

Recommendation of use for MaxDB for production use and Oracle comparison

Hi all,
We are about to propose to a customer of ours the use of SAPDB for production use. This would be a good way to reduce license costs.
Previous use of this DB platform has shown that it is mature, but since I am not a basis or DBA, I can't really pinpoint if we miss a lot of functionality.
Who could provide some info on the following:
1 - Are there major functionalities that Oracle provides that MaxDB doesn't?
2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
Thanks in advance.
Leonardo

> Who could provide some info on the following:
>

I would ask:"What functionalities do you expect from a database system?" - and then "Can MaxDB provide those functionalities?". It does not makes sense, IMHO, to compare "possible" things if you never need them.
> 2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
We run MaxDB (former ADABAS D, former SAPDB) for 12 years now on all our systems. Our main ERP 6.0 EHP4 has a size of 3 TB, we run on Linux serving about 900 users (700 concurrent), a BI with roughly 1 TB (with BWA), CRM with 600 GB, and tons of portals and smaller systems (SRM, SRM-MDM 7.1, GTS 7.2, SolMan, PLM (cProjects), Content Servers and more).
There are, as with every database, "performance problems" in special areas but generally our response times are below 500 ms on the main ERP.
One drawback of the MaxDB is the fact, that it does not use UTF-8/CESU-8 to store the data (yet) so if you use only single byte codepages in a Unicode system, you will neverless consume the full 2-byte space per character.
Basically I think that you can run roughly 98 % of the current systems on MaxDB without any impacts.

How do you remove this: META NAME="ColdFusionMXEdition" CONTENT="ColdFusion DevNet Edition - Not for Production Use."

Hi,
How do you remove this: <META NAME="ColdFusionMXEdition"
CONTENT="ColdFusion DevNet Edition - Not for Production
Use."> since it
automatically generates in my code when i run the application
and it
generates an error in the page.

Deinstall the devnet version, and install the proper version.

Is sql as a language free for production use ?

is sql and pl/sql as a languages free for production use ?
and if you wanna help me , tell me about programming languages in general ?
thanks in advance

semsem wrote:

First, SQL is a standard. Every database vendor implements their own, slightly different, SQL dialect. Whether SQL is free depends on what database you're referring to and how that database is licensed. There are tons of open source databases (i.e. MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc) that support a dialect of SQL and can be used in production at no cost. If you are talking about Oracle, it depends on the edition of the database and the terms of the license. If you have the express edition (Oracle XE), you can use that database's SQL engine in production at no cost.
PL/SQL is Oracle's procedural extensions to SQL. As with SQL, though, what is important is how the database that implements the PL/SQL VM is licensed. That, in turn, depends on the edition of the database just like it does for SQL. If you have the express edition (Oracle XE), you can use that database's PL/SQL engine in production at no cost.
and if you wanna help me , tell me about programming languages in general ?Here, it's even less clear what you're asking.
Most languages are free to use. Many languages or deployment scenarios, however, require you to license something else in order to actually run code written in that language. You can, for example, write and use a .Net application free of charge. But since your application relies on the .Net libraries that come with Windows, you would need to license Windows on the machine you are running the application (or run a Linux box with Mono and hope that everything you need from the CLR has been ported). You can find free JVMs to run Java applications on most platforms. But if you want to run a Java stored procedure inside Oracle, you'd need to license Oracle. If you want to run a Java object on a JEE app server, you'll need a JEE app server (many of which require you to obtain a license for commercial deployments).

Can CC subscribers install LR CC for evaluation and keep LR5.7 for production use?

I'd like to evaluate LR CC, but have plugins that aren't yet compatible with it. Therefore, I want to keep LR5.7 for production use. Is this possible?

Yes, LR 6 will convert (by making a copy) your catalog, and you can then edit in the new version. You must take some caution, e.g. in operations that change your actual images (such as writing metadata or moving images around).
The safest thing would be to NOT convert your catalog but rather build a whole separate work area of images and catalog that is disposable, but it is certainly possible to test LR6 in place if you are careful and aware of what operations you take.
Note you can run LR 5.7.1 and LR 6 (aka CC) from Creative Cloud at the same time as well -- you can even go back and install prior versions from the CC app.

The watermark "Preliminary, Draft, not for production use"

Hi
Just curious, I see the watermark "Preliminary, Draft, not for production use" on the following page :
http://agriculture.tennessee.edu/facultyandstaff/forms/LeaveForm.pdf
Is this generated when right-enabled is applied and the owner use evaluation version of Adobe Document Server? or because of other cause?
Anybody knows?
Thanks

Yes, it's because of the use of an evaluation version of some software.. probably Reader Extensions.

Is a Hardware update for CS6 useful?

Hi,
I still have CS4 and think about to purchase for CS6 shortly.
But I´m not sure if some hardware change could also be usefull?
I have:
Intel Core i7-920
MSI Eclipse SLI Mainboard
12 GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 460 Grafic card 1GB
1 SSD (256GB) System
2 1TB HDD (mirror)
2 1TB HDD (striping)
Do you think I need some upgrade or better asked is any update usefull?

If you want top know what different hardware can do, after downloading and installing CS6, go to http://www.ppbm5.com, follow the instructions and post your results. Then, narrow down the search of the results to just CS6 users.
You will then know how your results compare to other people's results, and you will see which hardware performs the best. If you find that you can do something in 700 seconds that other people can do in 154 seconds, then you can make your decision. If you decide you can only afford to go from 700 to 500, then you have to decide if it is worth the cost. If you can afford to go from 700 seconds to 154 seconds, then by all means, upgrade.
If you do want to upgrade, I can highly recommend reading through the hardware forum here, and look for posts by ECBowen. Eric was extremely helpful guiding my decisions. In fact, I ended up buying my system from him (ADK). Trust is earned, and Eric has done the work to earn his. I am quite happy with my PC's performance.

HT5271 was this update for mac using 10.5.8

i have been using the internet at work to access the web, (no problem)...I use safari 5.0.6 to connect with my aol account to get my mail, (no problem...until maybe about 3 weeks ago, safari will no long get mail from aol. I tried to send some files to someone else, and it may have been to large for the aol account.
Now i can't get mail or send mail form safari, i must go to the website aol, to retrieve any mail. I've tried setting up a new account using the instructions that aol provided for imap, didn't work. I am constantly getting drafts that are repeating themselves...and i can't get rid of them by trash, or delete. i was 29 pages. the message i receive is the following......SOME ACTIONS TAKEN WHILE THE AOL WAS OFFLINE COULD NOT BE COMPLETED ONLINE. MAIL HAS UNDONE ACTIONS ON SOME MESSAGES SO THAT YOU CAN REDO ACTIONS ONLINE. MAIL HAS SAVED THE OTHER MESSAGES IN MAILBOX ON MY MAC AND IN MY MAC SO THAT YOU CAN COMPLETE THE ACTIONS ONLINE. ADDITIONAL IINFO....The connection on the server imap.aol.com on port 993 has timed out............I would like to be able to get rid of the email i was trying to send with the large files......can anyone help me......This is the first time i have been on this site with a question....so for those of you who know more than me, i respectfully say THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

if I don't find a better solution I'll try your 2nd option but what do you mean by "combo" update?
My understanding is to simply insert the OS 10.5 installation CD, reinstall the OS and the just keep updating it via the OS SSoftware update panel and stop untill I see the scary Java 8 update. Is that what you meant?
While you can do it that way, the combo update picks up operating system updates through a collection of releases. When dealing with operating system upgrades, I've found using the combo updates to be more reliable than Software Update, as sometimes Software Update doesn't apply updates correctly, and weird things can happen. Doesn't happen often though, thankfully.
So the OS X 10.5.5 Combo update contains all updates between 10.5.0 and 10.5. The 10.5.8 combo update contains the updates from 10.5 thru 10.8. Here are the updates:
10.5 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL692
10.8 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
If you go down the combo path, repair permissions before and after doing each update. Then do Software Update for any other non-OS X updates, and don't apply the Java Update 8.

Mass update for production and planned order MRP controller

Hi Gurus,
It's anyway possible to mass update MRP controller for Production orders and Planned orders. If any please provide me step by step process.
Thanks,
B.Deethya.

I feel You have changed the MRP controller in Material master and want to incorporate same in production order & plan order.
For Planned order Run MRP with delete and recreate mode, system will create a new plan order with MRP controller in Material master
For production order, Mass change is not possible, create a simple BDC or LSMW, And change the MRP controller

11G XE limitations for production use

Hi Gurus,
I am new for this EX edition here i want to know limitations for this 11G XE edition.
We are planing to implement XE edition for production . Can any one please help me what are the advantages and dis-advantages.
I came to know that up to 11 GB of data it will support and 1GB of Ram. Here 11GB data support means including hole database base only. And how many customers can connect at a time for the database.
Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna Prasad.S

Hi,
I'm not a Guru, but if you don't mind, I'll try to answer your question anyway.
Can any one please help me what are the advantages and dis-advantages.Well, the major advantage is obvious: It's free. A second one is the fact that you have a more recent APEX version preinstalled than the regular 11.2 database.
The disadvantages result from the limitations. As you already mentioned, you only can store up to 11 GB data and use up to 1 GB RAM. In addition to that, XE will use only the equivalent of 1 CPU. For all details on limitations, you can read the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/license.112/e18068/toc.htm]Licensing Information. And of course, you can't get support for XE, i.e. you don't have access to security updates and can't open a service request if something's not working.
And how many customers can connect at a time for the database.Well, there is no hard limit for that. But due to the fact that RAM and CPU are limited, XE doesn't scale up unlimited. The actual limit will depend on your application(s), i.e. how much RAM will it consume and how many CPU-seconds per request. As a result you'll get a physical and an acceptance limit due to the fact that response times usually shouldn't exceed a certain value...
