In search of msi 945gt speedster-a4r (MS-9632) or low power consumption

When and where can I find the msi 945gt speedster-a4r or MS-9632?
Although this board has been announced, appears on the website with specifications, and has been exhibited at tech shows, I can not find it in the USA.     Update:  MSI, itself, did not return any of my calls or email but one of their distributors, ASI, was very nice and said this board would appear in the USA at end of May 2006.      New update:  ASI now says end of April. 
I want a system that consumes low power yet will run a controller board in a pci-e slot at x4, 8, or 16,
this MSI board looks like the thing: it runs a core duo yonah type processor and has a pci-e x4 slot.
So far, the 975x boards like Aopen have dual pci-e x16 slots but they appear only to work only with graphics boards.   
I want to put a raid controller areca arc-1230 into the slot.  Areca was very responsible and actually tested the 975 boards to find out that they did not work at this time.

I'm afriad that nobody can gives you a definate answer on your question as this concern many factors to say as in production lines, marketing and distribution.

  • MSI 945GT Speedster A4R Audio Output Jack Detection Problem

    Motherboard: 945GT Speedster A4R (609-9632-01S)
    CPU: T2400 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo
    RAM: 2x 1GB Nanya PC5300 DDR2 667MHz
    Hello,
    I've been trying to get two new computers running using these Mobile Core 2 Duo motherboards.  I have had 2 of 3 motherboards exhibit the same problem with detecting audio jack activity - when no activity is actually happening.
    In the first failure, the board never worked at all.  It never detected that a jack was plugged in.  In this second one, it worked right for about 2 hours, then flashed some messages saying "Audio Jack has been unplugged", and then it has never worked since.
    The Realtek Audio configuration tool now indicates no jack is plugged in when I insert a speaker plug into the light green colored jack.  Conversely, the one board of the three that is working correctly highlights this jack in the software app when it detects the plug.
    I hate to keep sending these boards back to the seller, but it looks like I have to send another one back.  Are these boards prone to having audio jack problems?  Is there an easy fix for this?  Is it just a connector problem?
    Thanks,
    James

    To reproduce the problem, I just have to leave the machine on for an hour or so.  After the driver is installed, a Realtek Audio applet is constantly running, shown in the bottom right corner of the task bar.  This applet automatically pops up a windows when it detects any jack activity.
    Unfortunately, it just pops up (rapidly, about five times in a row) detecting random jack unplugging and plugging in, when I'm not even touching the machine and not running anything (Windows idle).  As soon as I acknowledge the event by clicking 'OK', it pops up another window, and another, until it has finally decided that a jack is not present.  Then the sound no longer functions because it thinks no plug is inserted into the analog output jack.
    Thanks,
    James

  • 945GT Speedster-A4R Dual monitor problem

    I have a 945GT Speedster-A4R. I am trying to setup a dual monitor setup. But it is not working. It displays the same monitor on both screens. The monitors are 19 inch KDS with no DVI. The DVI connector on the board has a converter on it. I have setup the video drivers from MSIs website. THe only thing I can find about this is

  • 945GT Speedster-A4R unofficial thread

    I just wanted to start a thread every one could share information about your 945GT Speedster-A4R.
    What CPUs have you tried?
    Did you get into any trouble with them?
    What memmory are you using?
    The CPU Support list seems to be missing for this board, and a lots of other information so please post everything you would like to share about your motherboard.

    Just some information for everyone, the 915GM Speedster-FA4 does not have the same socket as  945GT Speedster-A4R.  The 915GM has the so called 479mobile socket, althoug there are 478 pins on the cpu,  the naming system is from Intel.  The 945GT has the socket called 480, it has the same amount of pins as the 479 but they are keyed a little different.  I have been figuring this out for a while there is wery litle information on the web about this and none here on the msi site or on the forum.

  • MSI 945GT Speedster will not boot with Authentec Biometric/Fingerprint Reader

    Has anybody else seen POST problems with USB devices attached?  My 945GT Speedster-A4R systems will not POST when Authentec AES2501A Fingerprint readers are attached.  I unplug the devices and the systems work fine.  If I plug the devices in while the system is on, they work fine too and the drivers load.
    For these sensors to be used properly, as user login devices, they really need to be present during startup.  Plugging them in after startup is not really an option.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    James

    First off, I appreciate the responses.  I have some updates, but I still have the problem too...
    MSI Tech Support gave me a beta BIOS to try, and it did not fix the problem (v1.2b5).
    I have not completely pinned out the USB connectors, but I am only using the USB adapter that came with the motherboard.  I am not using any "front panel" USB ports on the chassis.  This motherboard ships with a 4 port USB adapter that takes up a PCI slot in the chassis.  This adapter cables back to the two yellow USB headers on the motherboard.  I would sincerely hope that MSI correctly matched the pinouts of the USB ports to the pinouts on the motherboard - the connectors are keyed and only go on one way.
    I disabled "Boot to Other Devices."  No help.
    I also found another USB device that causes the same hang.  I gave my kids Sandisk Sansa c250 MP3 players for Christmas.  When these devices are plugged in hot, they work fine.  If they are plugged in, and we boot or reboot the system, the machines lock up during POST, just like when the Biometric readers are attached.  It is beggining to look like there is some serious USB compatibility issue with this motherboard.  It is also not just one bad board - I have two systems that behave the same way right now.
    Thanks,
    James

  • 945GT Speedster-A4R virtualization support

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if the 945GT Speedster-A4R BIOS supports virtualization (Intel VT-x)?

    Quote from: Bas on 16-December-10, 19:48:13
    Did you check if it did?
    I don't have the board (that is the reason I am asking - I could buy one but I need virtualization to work). I have googled and couldn't find anything for or against it. The BIOS section on the manual does not show anything relating to Vanderpool or Intel VT or VT-x etc. BIOS release notes didn't mention virtualization.
    So, that's why I asked the question here.

  • 945GT Speedster-A4R - and USB 3.0 external drive

    Hello
    I just got a USB 3.0 external drive, which I wish to connect to the 945GT Speedster-A4R board. However when the external drive is connected, the board will not boot, but hang in the post screen right when initialising memory.
    If I connect the external drive after windows log-on, it works fine.
    Anything I can do to be able to boot the board with the external USB 3.0 drive already connected ?
    Br.

    Thanks for the fast reply !
    However I don't see that option in the BIOS.
    I see the following options:
    USB Controller [Enable/Disable]
    USB 2.0 Controller [Enable/Disable]
    USB Keyboard Support [Enable/Disable]
    USB Mouse Support [Enable/Disable]

  • Boot problems with MSI 945GT Speedster

    Hi
    I am experiencing start-up problems with my newly mounted HTPC (Mcubed HFX mini). After pressing the power button the keyboard lights flashes, then the hard drive starts spinning. Then nothing actually is happening. The start-up screen never appears on the monitor (black). In fact I have noticed the opposite, the monitor (using the VGA) seems to receive a signal down instead and shuts off when the power button is pressed (the same phenomenon when starting and shutting off the PC). There are no light's or alarms on this mainboard (that I know). For switching the monitor signal between VGA/DVI/TV out I have tested the keyboards commands, but as I only have the VGA connected I think this also are auto sensing.
    I never get to the BIOS start-up. And no, I have not tried to flash or something. Everything is newly mounted.
    More information on the same question I posted at this special mcubed forum.
    But as this is problem with mainboard I think this is the better forum for this... let's see..
    Regards
    Mathias

    good to hear that. Be happy with the board.

  • MSI Twin Frozr 780 throttling at very low power target

    Hello
    I bought 2 twin frozr cards and have the problem that they are throttling at very low TDP percentage.
    They start to undervolt and underclock at around 85% power TDP according to gpu-z.
    I have power limit set to 103 in afterburner.
    I I look at afterburner power target % it shows 102 when gpu-z and kombustor and evga oc scanner shows 85%.
    1. Why different values in gpu-z and afterburner. Which one is correct?
    2. Why are the cards throttling so early at low TDP?
    Br Anders

    Quote
    My 2 cards show boost clockrate in afterburner and gpuz same 1032, 1019.
    That's already way above N780 TF 3GD5/OC (1006MHz in oc mode) or N780 TF 3GD5 (941MHz in oc mode) specs so what should be the problem.
    Quote
    Running heaven bench my gpu load is 98-99 on both cards. My powe consumption is around 85 in afterburner and 70 in gpuz.
    That's surely not an OSD ingame reading. 85% TDP at 99% load is about impossible. Did you use Afterburner OSD?
    Again GPU Boost 2.0 is very complex and does not result in the same clockrate in any application.
    Stop with this cheating stuff there is no cheating involved. Also I asked for your system specs.

  • MSI 915GM Speedster-FA4

    I've plan to purchase MSI 915GM Speedster-FA4 and combine it with my Pentium M 755 (479pin).

  • Msi K9ND Speedster -- Motherboard Problems

    I need some help with a MSI K9ND Speedster motherboard which i purchased on ebay, apparently new.
    Im using
    Opteron Socket F (1207) 2218 95W 2.6GHz -- OSA2218GAA6CQ
    512MB P/N - NT512T72U89A0BV-3C x4 -- 1GB per cpu.
    Old PCI Graphics Card.
    Floppy Drive
    Enermax 600W & 430W
    Im running 2 Enermax PSU's, 1 600w, other 430w with them both supplying power to the ATX12V 8-Pin socket, they also supply power to my Geforce 8800GTS XXX graphic cards, when i get the system running.... It could be my psu setup is causing me problems, but the motherboard is giving me strange behaviour, and its hard to say, plus i don't have a drop in PSU replacement.
    The second cpu in cpu1, does not seem to be registering.... but is reported in the temperature screen at around 33C, while Cpu in Cpu0 is detected, but is said to be running at around 75C "i checked the cooler multiple times"... Ive got 4 sticks of ram in the computer, but only one stick is being detected.... though its hard to say with the limited bios features... The cpu0 is reported to be running at 1.3v, while cpu1 is running at 1.13v...
    I need some help from some other K9ND speedster system owners, as ive been trouble shooting & researching all day, and ive not been able to find much in helpful information...
    I tryed updating my bios to 1.3, but it tells me something about "not enough DMI OEM line space" and makes me reboot...
    My brain hurts

    Okay... The Enermax Galaxy 1000W arrived this afternoon, and i installed it and all the other other hardware over the last few hours...
    The K9ND is not posting with the memory installed in Dimm sockets net to CPU1 ? and since i last posted i  bought an 8mb or 8MB chip with v2.10 flashed on it, and ive installed it in the motherboard, thankfully with no problems, but no change so far.
    System Don't seem to be shorting with the case, as i wouldn't be able to turn it on...
    System is booting without the ram in Dimms1, and im now writing on the forum using the machine...
    My sli graphics cards are giving me a code 12, something about there not being enough resources, hopefully i can fix that problem...
    I checked with cpu-z, to see what my cpu information is, and both would seem to be the same, though its reporting my memory is working in single channel more, and not double channel like it should with ram in dimm0 sockets 3&4.
    I got a headake, need some more help & suggestions please. 

  • 945GT Speedster

    I see Newegg now has the 945GT in stock.
     Has anyone seen a review or know if there are any oc'ing options in the bios?
    Will the bios support Merom?

    Quote from: Maesus on 26-May-06, 10:04:08
    Core Duo is not yet Merom, but Yonah. Merom should be "Core 2 Duo"?? I'm not yet confirmed.
    Right, Yonah is Core Duo and Merom is Core 2 Duo. I've had the Aopen mb for a couple of months with a Yonah. I have an Antec micro case and was thinking about putting a Speedster in it with the Yonah I have or getting a Merom ES. If there are zero oc'ing options then I would more then likely pass and get this MSI board: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=100587 and a Conroe.
