Intel 865 and 875 chipsets: A bad idea?

Since I started building PC compatible computers, I have used a lot of different motherboards whith different chipsets, video cards, cpu's, peripherals, soundcards, ram types, etc. I always had a problem or two when building a new system, but I also always found a solution. But I think I never had so many problems as I am having now with my new 865PE Neo2 LS system.
Every day I see more and more people with problems with their 865/875 chipset computers. In this same forum lot's of people ask for help with their systems. Random reboots, blue screens, unstable systems are the most common problems. Almost ALL this problems are Windows XP related. This problems persist, even when they (me too) have changed EVERY pci card, agp video card, and even ram, leaving only the Cpu and motherboard to be replaced (and loose some money in the process). I have started to wonder if 865 and 875 chipsets are XP friendly.
My last system was an Intel 850 chipset board with a pentium 2.4 GHz and rambus rdram. I NEVER had a blue screen, less a random system restart, even when I used the most strange cards and peripherals.
I have started to wonder if this new system was worth it. Is it worth buying an Intel 2.4C HT Cpu when you just can´t enable HT because your system becomes unstable?. Does it make sense to buy an 865PE motherboard with faster memory bandwith, when you have to use windows 98 or ME?.
Right now I am using windows ME because I was writing this same thread in XP and my system rebooted.
So, here I am, waiting for a new chipset to appear, and more money to be collected, so I can build a computer I can USE.
I am even hoping prescott cpu's can't be used with this board, so I can have an excuse to change my system.
Sad, but at this point it is probably the only thing left me to do, and also for a lot of other people out there.

Well I'm sorry that you have had such bad luck with Intels newest Product ....I myself have had nothing but Praise for Both of the Chipsets, as I own Both Flavors, I have a brand New ABIT IC7-MAX3(i875) MSI-6758-FIS2R(i875) and My Wifes I865PE-LIS2R, and aside from minor bugs, Which I have found to be More of the Memory Makers Fault than Intels for trying to shoot Modules out there without taking the time for a true extensive testing period, so they could see that these Chipsets are like no others that came before them....Are they "Picky" or "Tempermental" absolutely, do they give us the Memory Bandwith (Up to 6.4 GB/Sec) that we could only dream of 12 Months ago?....I say yes.....I really dont think that you are going to see Intel vary to far from this Chipset, You may see a revision change but, dont hold your breath on something completly different (except for PCI and AGP Bus Revisions) until Intel finally Desides to go with a 64 BIT Desktop CPU ................Sean REILLY875

I need to capture while continuing to edit and export to tape, bad idea?

Is it possible to use a different capture program (other than iMovie) to capture DV footage while I continue to do cuts only editing with Final Cut and perhaps even exporting to tape through a different deck on a Dual 2.0 G5 with two hard drives? I understand that I need a program that captures the clip as a QT movie at 48 kHz.
I need to do this in order to justify moving from a linear edit system for news.
What would be the recommended system capable of this?

Licensing issues prevent us from just dumping our feeds onto one server and then connecting it to all the edit bays with Gigabit. But cost is a big factor for us since we are small. One machine at a time is what we can do since it's all new to us and unproven, really. Prove that it can be faster, then, we can move to put a G5 in every edit bay. Right now the editors can record a feed of several stories and continue to edit in the bay. They order the feed, then hit record and go back to work.
Only one deck isn't a problem, the importing will come from a router going thru a DV bridge. But just as long as we can import while we continue to do some cuts only editing, no effects, no filters while we import. No need to export at the same time, tho that would be cool if ever possible.
Once all the stories are done for the show, we will export, perhaps just play back off FCP during the show, easier for the tape op to just hit the spacebar I guess.
basically the question is, what bare bones capture utility will grab our 48kHz DV footage and give us enough CPU left that it won't crash when we go back to editing?

RGB workflow - really a bad idea?

Hi
Having a "discussion" with my printer - I got back an offset job that was magenta shifted - especially in the cyan of a sky in a photo. My current workflow is to place everything as RGB, and then to convert to CMY on out to PDF. For this job I used the ISO coated 300% ECI profile for the conversion, and embedded the profile. I preflighted the PDF and all was fine, did an inhouse proof from the PDF (mine on the left). In house proofed on epson4000
with RGB ink ( in know it wont be colour accurate - but its usually pretty close this is probably a little cyan shifted). My Printer is telling me that the colour shift in the mountains is down to using an RGB workflow. I dont understand why there would be any difference between
>converting to CMYK profile on export and
>converting to CMYK profile in photoshop, then placing into indesign.
If this workflow is a bad idea can anyone point me to a good resource - I've been looking for a robust workflow that will work for most printers for a while now.
thanks!

Thisis not a technical reply, but may be helpful none the less...
RGB workflow is not necessarily a bad idea, but depending on your printer, not necessarily a good one either. Every printer is different, but with gang run printers - they're not usuaslly bred to be concerned with your color.
Communication is key and the only really bad idea is avoiding or overlooking a complete job dialog with your commercial printer. Not that either is intentional. I would say that no matter what, you should always get a contract proof, but since this is a gang run printer... Try, and good luck.
This is a pretty touchy subject because it is not always just technical. Even the finest of printers are not usually happy color conversionists. What do printers do? Printers print. And they print CMYK. Printers will nearly always take the responsibility for color issues when you supply them with CMYK files.
100% of offset commercial printers (50 surveyed) said they "prefer CMYK files with no color profiles" in a confidential corporate survey. The point of contact in these surveys were prepress. (Now I can get technical with the profiles and excurves, but there will be more of that coming your way than you would care to know at this point, I am sure).
I would suggest learning to communicate well with my printer - going as far as becoming a self appointed inhouse designer. Make them comfortable with you, get comfortable with them, learning an RGB to CMYK workflow either eventually making my own conversions, working your files so all they need to do is run an excurve on their rip or educating them to a level of empowerment so they will want to take the full responsibility of converting for you. Either way, you have nothing to lose by learning CMYK - It just give you more leverage and color control.

Right, MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(Built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G not working, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III.

My MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G are not working together, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III and in my MacBook Pro it does not work.
Now MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 built May onward do not have this problem it was fixed in the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. (So there is a problem). Cam I have my MacBook Pro fixed please.

After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

GPU acceleration fix for Dell Intel and Nvidia chipsets with external monitor?

I have a Dell XPS laptop with both integrated Intel chips and Nvidia chips and I can only get the GPU acceleration to work when I don't have any external monitors plugged in.
Is there some way I can get Illustrator to enable the Nvidia GPU and stop being confused by multiple chipsets on external monitors? I really like the live zoom.

same problem here,
'm getting a little frustrated trying to get my laptop working with my LG DLP 3D ready projector to display in 3D. The projector itself will work in 3D as long as the resolution is 1024x768@120hz and the laptop's NVidia GTX 770M should have no issues driving the projector with this resolution.
Where it seems like the problems occur is Intel HD 4600 graphics driver gets in the way every time i try to run anything 3D, the software Im using to run any 3D type files do not recognize the projector as a 3D capable device because all the laptop is using is the Intel HD 4600 graphics.
If I could somehow turn off the Intel graphics and just force the laptop to just use the NVidia card I think all my issues will go away. I just am not having success in doing this.
I have tried to go into the NVidia control panel and under 3D settings pick the software program that runs my 3D files and tell it to use the NVidia card...but it never works.
I think everything is sent through the Intel graphics card regardless if the laptop is using the NVidia card (just guessing here)?
I also tried to simply uninstall the drivers but that did not work,
I also tried to disable the Intel graphics but it then went into some type of generic display driver mode and still would not work.
I also went into the BIOS to look for any settings that would allow me to disable the Intel graphics card ..no luck, could not find any settings for this.
Can someone help me with this? how can I disable the Intel graphics and force the laptop to just use the NVidia card all the time?
Thanks!!

Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries. How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone? Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it. It was a problem with iOS 7 and 8.1.1 doesn't fix it. The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work. I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today. At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer.

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I need a new iphone and I've found a fully refurbished iphone 5. Is it a bad idea to get this phone seeing as they are no longer in production? Will it still get updates?

I need a new iphone and I've found a fully refurbished iphone 5 for a competitive price. Is it a bad idea to get this phone seeing as they are no longer in production? Will it still get updates?
Or is it worth buying the iphone 5c?

Hi I would buy the iPhone 5s look on EBay make sure the ICloud Lock has been removed Get the 32G one buy one with the box and from someone who has good feedback. Also look at Refurbished IPhones on Apple Website. Cheers Brian

875 Chipset question

Changing to a different board from the SiS and looking at the Intel 875 chipset. I am currently using the 2.53 p4 533 bus CPU. Is this CPU compatible with the intel 875 800Mhz bus? like the MSI 875?? If it isn't what board would one look for to utilize 3200 Corsair 512MB and a 2.53 Ghz 400/533 FSB???
Thanks,
Rob

Well I took the jumper off and have tried it a couple ways.
Bios - Promise controller as RAID
Driver - Fastrak 376/378
built the array, 1 drive, striped
- didn't show in My Computer
- showed in device manager as Promise 1+0 Striped/Raid 0 SCSI Device
Bios - Promise controller as SATA
Driver - SATA378 IDE controller
no array build option, shows up on the promise screen as UDMA2 drive with IDE Bus Mastering Enabled
- didn't show in My Computer
- showed in device manager as -drive model- SCSI Disk Device
I have done that with the jumper off and on as master for a single device on cable, and as master for dual device cable. (that distinction was new to me, but it was in the manual)
I'm sure I'm missing something small, and I'm ready to start from scratch as I've been meesing around with it so much. But I'm not even sure what it 'should' be set at to start with.

Intel GM45 (x4500M) terrible 3d performance with intel driver and mesa

I have following problem with my Lenovo SL500 laptop. I have installed new xorg-server 1.5, mesa 7.2, libgl 7.2 and intel driver 2.4 with libdrm 2.3.1 and intel-dri 7.2 (from testing repository) and generated xorg config. Everything went fine, and Xorg.log does not report any errors. When using 2d graphics everything is smooth and fast. Problem starts when I run glxgears. Performance is terrible, I get only about 60 fps. In addition I got the following error:

I'm puzzled because at www.phoronix.com they eneded up with good results with my video card (that is of course Intel x4500 as in topic )
I would be grateful if someone gave me a tip how to improve performance of my graphics card.

Apparently yes,
According to the thread:
To restore to the old behaviour, put this in your ~/.drirc:
<driconf>
<device screen="0" driver="i915">
<application name="Default">
<option name="vblank_mode" value="0" />
</application>
</device>
</driconf>
But I don't come back to the same perfs as before (tested with eternal lands).
I noticed that in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(WW) intel(0): Register 0x61200 (PP_STATUS) changed from 0xc0000008 to 0xd0000009
(WW) intel(0): PP_STATUS before: on, ready, sequencing idle
(WW) intel(0): PP_STATUS after: on, ready, sequencing on
(WW) intel(0): Register 0x71024 (PIPEBSTAT) changed from 0x00020202 to 0x00020000
(WW) intel(0): PIPEBSTAT before: status: VBLANK_INT_ENABLE VSYNC_INT_STATUS VBLANK_INT_STATUS
(WW) intel(0): PIPEBSTAT after: status: VBLANK_INT_ENABLE
There seem to be some problem with mtrr
I found this problem which seems related but I only have 2GB of memory

Intel Xserve and kernel panic on high I/O load

Hi everyone,
Having added our 1st Intel Xserve to our server farm for test purposes we have encoutered several kernel panics on high I/O loads to Xsan volumes and standalone Xraid's.
Below is a portion of the system.log after restart.
The amusing part of this is that the crash reporter that suposed to log the reason for the crash crashed itself.
I was trying to use the new Xserve as a backup server but even with about 20% load on all 4 processors it will panic and restart.
Verdict: absolutley unreliable and useless if you need your Xserve to shuffle a lot of data around. The kernel drivers for the Apple FC card has also been changed which caused problems with our Archiware Presstore backup software.(kernel panic)
Looks like Apple is tampering with the multi core kernel of 10.4.8 on the Intel Xenon Processors at the moment and hasn't got it right yet. Well, we got one revision left to get this fixed before 10.5 comes out and that's still miles away from being usuable to say the least.
Thank you Apple, for selling your latest products that don't work as usual.
Any comments of similar experiences are welcome.

While I have found a few problems as well, I have gotten the intel xserve fairly stable (it did take a while and a lot of apple support calling)
I haven't had kernal panics, but I haven't been able to get the processors above 45% when doing compression. Also, I had some nasty lun masking problems with the fibre card which did result in corrpution of a HFS raid volume.
On the topic of xsan and the intel xserve, it is a BAD idea to try to install anything prior to 1.4.0. Had hangs, crashes and even corruption of the serial licensing daemon. Installing 1.4 and upgrading to 1.4.1 was a huge fix to those issues.
Overall, after a lot of work, it is working well, and does play back 100MB/s video extremely well off an xsan volume. Although, I would be fully content if I could get compressor's utilization of the CPU from 40 to 100%.

Is it a bad idea to use NVIDIA's "reference driver"?

Boot Camp set up my iMac with NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M graphics card with driver version 332.28. NVIDIA has a "reference version" of 334.89. Since the 640M is of course a mobile chipset they do not provide drivers for it (I never understood why this was) but rely on the manufacturer however they now apparently put out these "reference drivers". Do you think this is worth a shot? Has anyone tried them?

No, it's not a bad idea.
I heard that in the past years Apple locked the driver from easy updating, but now you can just update as with every other PC.
For exampe, with Apple stock driver (as of early 2013, I have the GT650M) Battlefield says that I could have problem.
I always updated and everything worked fine (even if I had a lot of problem with Boot Camp and Windows).
The update mantains the overclock of the card (as some cards are overclocked by Apple).
Sorry for my english.

Will a GFX5900SP-VT fit in a Intel 865 perl?

I am buying an Intel 865 Perl for my new system, to go along with a 2.8 HT (the 3.0 is still too expensive here in Brazil)and 512 if ram, and I´m also planning on getting a MSI GFX 5900 SP-VT 256. But I read that size culd be a problem with 865 PE Mobos.
Could I have a problem here?
My other option is to go with GFX 5600 256-vivo and maybe get 1 gig or ram or perhaps squeeze my wallet and get a 3.0 processor.
I could also consider getting a ASUS P4C800 deluxe instead of the 865 perl.
Since my main concern is stability over pure performance, I´m in favor of the Intel 865 perl with the 2.8 ht processor and the GFX 5900...
Anyways...does anybody knows if it will fit?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi there.
you may have trouble in many mobos with the intel865 and intel875 because of the sink or fan that may be on top of the chipset.

If I where u, I would buy the asus P4C800 because it's probably one of the best mobos arround
Take care
