Intel Performance

How does a Intel Pentium 4 running Solaris 8 compare in performance to a new Sun Blade 100.
I already have installed in a old pentium just for fun. Now I want to try something a bit bigger...

That´s absolutely true ! But of course nobody likes to talk about it. The whole creative suite applications run slow, especially Illustrator - you can´t use it at the moment. But it´s the same story with Word and PowerPoint. Oh my god, i bought a computer that is slower than my old 3 years old powerbook. Apple has to be blaimed for fooling its customers with wrong promises !!! You know something ? If i open an Illustrator document on MacOSX it takes 1 minute ! 1 Minute !
The same document, opened on windows (boot camp on the same machine) shows up in 8 seconds !!! You Apple-maniacs out there - do you like that ?

Kernel26 2.6.29.1-3 decreases intel performance

Hey everyone,
After upgrading my testing packages I noticed my performance dropped noticably (games would not run properly anymore). After some downgrading i found the culprit .
The upgrade from Kernel26 2.6.29.1-2 to Kernel26 2.6.29.1-3 made my cards performance drop:
My setup
-Intel card:
[nand@nandtop ~]$ lspci |grep VGA

Has anyone else been expiriencing this?

I have met the same problem.After i upgrade from Kernel26 2.6.29.1-2 to Kernel26 2.6.29.1-3 , my glxgears decreased from 1100 to 800fps, i'm using "exa" not "uxa". Anyone can help us with the problem ?
ps: how can i get the old kernel26 pakage?
If you haven't cleared your pacman cache yet you should find an older version in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. You can 'downgrade' via this command then:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.29.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz
If you already cleared your cache, or not keeping one, you could search some mirrors for an older version or i could upload it for you .
I'll do some testing and report back with my xorg logs. I don't have KMS enabled (used to have it enabled, but disabled it to see if it was causing the framedrop)
Edit:
Alright, i'm back with the logs! Seems to be some weird things happening, but i don't have enough knowledge to pinpoint where the problem lies.
Here are the logs:
Kernel26 2.6.29.1-2 : http://denacke.net/archlinux/kernel3/kernel2.Xorg.0.log
Kernel26 2.6.29.1-3 : http://denacke.net/archlinux/kernel3/kernel3.Xorg.0.log
Some of the interesting things happening:
in Kernel26 2.6.29.1-2 it seems to load the i915 module, it doesn't have that line with Kernel26 2.6.29.1-3
Kernel26 2.6.29.1-2
II) [drm] loaded kernel module for "i915" driver.
There also seems to be some problem when setting tiling with the latest kernel version.
Kernel26 2.6.29.1-3
> (EE) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on front buffer: rejected by kernel
> (EE) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on back buffer: rejected by kernel

I'm using the latest package available in archlinux repos. I'll see if it make any difference when using the latest drivers when I have some time for compiling them

Thanks, I set the NativeIO to false..... And hope that it gets ported.......

MPEG2 Component for Intel performance

Hello there. I just purchased the MPEG2 component for QuickTime, Intel and am experiencing slow performance. I initially used this for opening files within MPEG Streamclip, but it was a very slow export. Then, I tried QuickTime and experienced the same slow performance. The hard disk starts swapping and it takes forever. Any ideas or do I need to wait for a new release?

Just a quick update on the MPEG2 component. I wasn't able to resolve the problem and had to resort to a G5 at the office. It worked fine. I wouldn't recommend purchasing until they get this figured out.

Logic 7.2/Intel Performance Comparisons

Just came across this piece in a MacWorld mailing.
http://www.macworld.com/2006/04/firstlooks/logicprotests/index.php?lsrc=mwweek-0 501

Thanks for the tip. Exact same issue. I poked around Logic for half an hour before I realized something was just plain missing. Many differences on intel Macs. Might be good to have a site dedicated to avoiding these pitfalls.

Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
Our questions are:
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

Scott,
Welcome to the discussions!
I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
You can not move render files between machines.
When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

Re-Occurring Blue Screen~Dump files included~Please Help~Unable to verify timestamp for ntkrnlpa.exe

Hello,
Starting yesterday I started getting the BSOD. I have uploaded my dump files to this dropbox account:
www.dropbox.com/sh/w3ryago8pfcw2y2/AAAR5i6Crx5q-p--xdESJjnMa
There are lots of them as my PC crashed many times.
I attempted to analyze them with windbg but all I can see is:
Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for ntkrnlpa.exe
Also I ran sfc /scannow and it found no integrity violations.
After the first BSOD I was barely able to get Windows to load without another immediate crash. I couldn't boot my PC last night but today seems okay so far. CPU temp was fine, actually quite cool as I had my window open right by the PC with the side off
the case and it was cold last night. Today, so far, seems to be running okay...so far anyways..
Windows update recently installed a driver for my on-board video card (Nvidia GeForce 6150n) on the 18th I think as I started using a 2nd monitor using the on-board card in addition to my PCI Express Ati Radeon HD. To use the second screen, I switched
the primary video in CMOS to on-board instead of PCI-E 16x so the on-board Nvidia card would be enabled.
I also installed brand new ram (4gb DDR2) about a month ago
and a new power supply 2 months ago. The power supply is not "exactly" the same voltage as the one that was in there but it's dang close. But I don't have any power leeching components.
Other than that nothing new has happened. After I got the crash, I tried to enter CMOS yesterday and it glitched out on me twice. I hope it's not my motherboard..
I am willing to do a system re-format as I am running Windows 7 32bit on a 64bit AMD so I wouldn't mind having 64 bit Windows anyways but I'd like to know what the problem is before I do this. Thank you.

Hi,
All of the attached DMP files are of the
WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124) bug check.
A fatal hardware error has occurred. This fatal error displays data from the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA).
If we run an !errrec on the 2nd parameter of the bug check (address of the WER structure) we get the following:
BugCheck 124, {0, 867d2024, b2000010, 10c0f}

Status : 0xb200001000010c0f
This is a pretty complicated error compared to other possibilities it could have been, as it implies you have a hardware fault somewhere along the bus (not very definitive on its own).
In our case however, we can go a bit deeper with this one:

Now that we have this info, we'd refer to the AMD manual:
63 VAL Valid

59 MISCV Miscellaneous-Error Register Valid
58 ADDRV Error-Address Register Valid
57 PCC Processor-Context Corrupt
56–32 Other Information
31–16 Model-Specific Error Code
15–0 MCA Error Code
In our specific case, bit 63 of the status code is set, so it is valid. Bit 62 of the status code is
unset, therefore there's no overflow. Bit 61 implies an uncorrected error has occurred, and Bit 60 implies an error condition was enabled. Last but not least, Bit 57 is
set and implies a corrupted processor context.
If we take a look at the last 15 bits of the binary:
Binary: [trimming] 00001100 00001111
In our case, the MSB in binary (00001100 ), implies a bus error occurred (as I mentioned above). We need to further decode the bits to understand more:
[0000]1100 00001111
0000 = 1PPT RRRR IILL.
PP = Participation Processor, T = Timeout,
R = Memory Transaction Type, I = Memory and/or I/O, and finally
L = Cache Level.
With this said, it appears we actually have a faulty motherboard as the processor seems fine, etc. The only other thing I see possible is bad RAM, which you can figure out whether or not is the case by running no less than ~8 passes of Memtest:
Memtest86+:
Download Memtest86+ here:
http://www.memtest.org/
Which should I download?
You can either download the pre-compiled ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary
files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).
Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).
How Memtest works:
Memtest86 writes a series of test patterns to most memory addresses, reads back the data written, and compares it for errors.
The default pass does 9 different tests, varying in access patterns and test data. A tenth test, bit fade, is selectable from the menu. It writes all memory with zeroes, then sleeps for 90 minutes before checking to see if bits have changed (perhaps because
of refresh problems). This is repeated with all ones for a total time of 3 hours per pass.
Many chipsets can report RAM speeds and timings via SPD (Serial Presence Detect) or EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), and some even support changing the expected memory speed. If the expected memory speed is overclocked, Memtest86 can test that memory performance
is error-free with these faster settings.
Some hardware is able to report the "PAT status" (PAT: enabled or PAT: disabled). This is a reference to Intel Performance acceleration technology; there may be BIOS settings which affect this aspect of memory timing.
This information, if available to the program, can be displayed via a menu option.
Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:

(Win8.1 Pro) Blue Screen of Death: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I'm getting intermittent BSODs, usually with the message "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". It doesn't appear to be tied to a specific activity - sometimes it will happen when I'm not at the computer. I tried doing a Memory Diagnostic test and it found
no errors. As per one of the suggestions on the forum here, I tried running the Driver Verifier process, but then it couldn't boot into Windows at all (had to go in in safe mode and reset the verifier). A couple of weeks ago, I had a few BSODs with the message
"DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" though that appears not to have happened for a while.
Any help would be appreciated - I'm sort of out of my depth here. DMP and Sysinfo Link below..

Hi,
We have a ton of crash dumps here, and I went through what I can.
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)
This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
BugCheck 1A, {41287, 61d00125f640, 0, 0}
The 1st parameter of the bug check is 41287 which indicates an illegal page fault occurred while holding working set synchronization.
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133)
This bug check indicates that the DPC watchdog executed, either because it detected a single long-running deferred procedure call (DPC), or because the system spent a prolonged time at an interrupt request level (IRQL) of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
I need a kernel-dump to debug this type of bug check.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high. The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.

nt!MiReplenishPageSlist calls a pagefault, and prior to this we have various memory related routines as well.
This looks like faulty RAM to me, so please go ahead and start by running Memtest for NO LESS than ~8 passes (several hours):
Memtest86+:
Download Memtest86+ here:
http://www.memtest.org/
Which should I download?
You can either download the pre-compiled ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary
files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).
Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).
How Memtest works:
Memtest86 writes a series of test patterns to most memory addresses, reads back the data written, and compares it for errors.
The default pass does 9 different tests, varying in access patterns and test data. A tenth test, bit fade, is selectable from the menu. It writes all memory with zeroes, then sleeps for 90 minutes before checking to see if bits have changed (perhaps because
of refresh problems). This is repeated with all ones for a total time of 3 hours per pass.
Many chipsets can report RAM speeds and timings via SPD (Serial Presence Detect) or EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), and some even support changing the expected memory speed. If the expected memory speed is overclocked, Memtest86 can test that memory performance
is error-free with these faster settings.
Some hardware is able to report the "PAT status" (PAT: enabled or PAT: disabled). This is a reference to Intel Performance acceleration technology; there may be BIOS settings which affect this aspect of memory timing.
This information, if available to the program, can be displayed via a menu option.
Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:

Hi,
All of the attached DMP files are of the
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
This bug check indicates that the Intel CPU generated a trap and the kernel failed to catch this trap.
BugCheck 7F, {8, 80050031, 6f8, fffff800028cfbf2}
The 1st parameter of the bug check is 0x00000008, or Double Fault, indicates that an exception occurs during a call to the handler for a prior exception. Typically, the two exceptions are handled serially. However, there are several exceptions that
cannot be handled serially, and in this situation the processor signals a double fault. There are two common causes of a double fault:
A kernel stack overflow. This overflow occurs when a guard page is hit, and the kernel tries to push a trap frame. Because there is no stack left, a stack overflow results, causing the double fault.
A hardware problem.
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: X64_0x7f_8_VRF_nt!KiDoubleFaultAbort+b2
This dump is verifier enabled, yet failed to detect a 3rd party driver in violation, therefore this is likely a hardware problem, or you did not set up verifier properly. It's interesting to see
KiDoubleFaltAbort in the FBID, so I looked further:

nt!KiDoubleFaultAbort+0xb2. KeAcquireInStackQueuedSpinLockAtDpcLevel is a routine that acquires a queued spin lock when the caller is already running at IRQL >= DISPATCH_LEVEL.
kd> !irql
Debugger saved IRQL for processor 0x0 -- 2 (DISPATCH_LEVEL)
We seem to be at DISPATCH_LEVEL at the time of the crash, so there's nothing wrong there. I suspect a hardware problem despite the problem stemming from acquiring a spinlock.
First off, please run Memtest for NO LESS than ~8 passes (several hours):
Memtest86+:
Download Memtest86+ here:
http://www.memtest.org/
Which should I download?
You can either download the pre-compiled ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary
files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).
Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).
How Memtest works:
Memtest86 writes a series of test patterns to most memory addresses, reads back the data written, and compares it for errors.
The default pass does 9 different tests, varying in access patterns and test data. A tenth test, bit fade, is selectable from the menu. It writes all memory with zeroes, then sleeps for 90 minutes before checking to see if bits have changed (perhaps because
of refresh problems). This is repeated with all ones for a total time of 3 hours per pass.
Many chipsets can report RAM speeds and timings via SPD (Serial Presence Detect) or EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), and some even support changing the expected memory speed. If the expected memory speed is overclocked, Memtest86 can test that memory performance
is error-free with these faster settings.
Some hardware is able to report the "PAT status" (PAT: enabled or PAT: disabled). This is a reference to Intel Performance acceleration technology; there may be BIOS settings which affect this aspect of memory timing.
This information, if available to the program, can be displayed via a menu option.
Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:
http://forum.canardpc.com/threads/28864-FAQ-please-read-before-posting
2. If the above happens to pass without errors, the only driver I see that could be causing a problem is VirtualBox (please uninstall), and your Intel network drivers are dated from 2008, so see if an update is available -

HP envy screen keeps adjusting

I got the HP Envy 15- j104na yesterday. After setting everything up I noticed that when I switched through web pages the brightness changed minutely on the display. Whenever I am on a dark or black website the screen dims and when I am on a white or light coloured website the screen gets brighter. It doesn't just apply to web pages either, the screen brightness changes depending on how bright the colours on the screen are.
Now the problem is that this is very noticible, it is not a subtle change and it is beginning to annoy me when I switch through web pages so much. I have tried absolutely everything to turn it off.
I have been through all of my power options, tried all of the default 3 settings, turned off adaptive brightness, changed the intel performance to perform the highest it can. All suggestions available online have not worked for me.
I even contacted someone from HP on chat, we were talking for about half an hour and they took remote control of my PC to fix it for me. They downloaded loads of stuff, changed about 5 different options but none of it worked. Eventually I just gave up because I had things to do. The last option I was left with was to completely factory reset the laptop and since I only got it yesterday I don't see how that will help!
I'm very tired already, the laptop cost me a lot and I am already regretting buying it.
Is there a way to disable this feature or not. People working for HP don't even seem to know how to do it and I will probably turn to another brand if it can't be disabled.
TL;DR: My screen brightness changes automatically, on dark screens it dims and light screens it gets brighter. I do not like it, is there a way to disable it. I have already tried ALL suggestions online and contacted HP with no luck.
Please help!
Thanks.

Hi,
The attached DMP file is of the SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
This error has been linked to excessive paged pool usage and may occur due to user-mode graphics drivers crossing over and passing bad data to the kernel code.
BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff960002ab65c, fffff88005ed4d00, 0}

The exception occurred in win32k!PFEOBJ::vDelete+0x1c.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced.
Bug check 0x50 usually occurs after the installation of faulty hardware or in the event of failure of installed hardware (usually related to defective RAM, be it main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM).
Another common cause is the installation of a faulty system service.
Antivirus software can also trigger this error, as can a corrupted NTFS volume.

On the instruction we failed on, address fffff960`0030c69d deferenced
rdi+20h where rdi+20h is 0000000000000000. All of this would result in a memory write to the address
00000000`00000020.
Why? It's due to the fact that the rdi+20h register was not saved (due to the dump type being a minidump). It's also likely a contributing factor to not being able to see whether or not the 1st parameter is valid and/or invalid.
1. AODDriver2.sys is listed and loaded in your modules list which is AMD Overdrive; also in EasyTune6 for Gigabyte motherboard. Known BSOD issues in Win7 & 8.
Please uninstall either software ASAP! If you cannot find either software to uninstall, or it's not installed, please navigate to the following filepath:
C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Fuel\amd64\AODDriver2.sys
and rename AODDriver2.sys to AODDriver.2old
and then Restart.
2. Ensure you have the latest video card drivers. If you are already on the latest video card drivers, uninstall and install a version or a few versions behind the latest to ensure it's not a latest driver only issue. If you have already experimented
with the latest video card driver and many previous versions, please give the beta driver for your card a try.
3. Remove and replace Avira with Microsoft Security Essentials for temporary troubleshooting purposes as it may be causing conflicts:

Which should I download?
You can either download the pre-compiled ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary
files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).
Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).
How Memtest works:
Memtest86 writes a series of test patterns to most memory addresses, reads back the data written, and compares it for errors.
The default pass does 9 different tests, varying in access patterns and test data. A tenth test, bit fade, is selectable from the menu. It writes all memory with zeroes, then sleeps for 90 minutes before checking to see if bits have changed (perhaps because
of refresh problems). This is repeated with all ones for a total time of 3 hours per pass.
Many chipsets can report RAM speeds and timings via SPD (Serial Presence Detect) or EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), and some even support changing the expected memory speed. If the expected memory speed is overclocked, Memtest86 can test that memory performance
is error-free with these faster settings.
Some hardware is able to report the "PAT status" (PAT: enabled or PAT: disabled). This is a reference to Intel Performance acceleration technology; there may be BIOS settings which affect this aspect of memory timing.
This information, if available to the program, can be displayed via a menu option.

Memory_management BSOD

Hello!
It has been a month now, and i constantly receive memory_management BSOD's. Not to mention that my Windows R(8) Hd graphics driver crashes occasionally. I do not know if these are related in any way. I have posted a DUMP file, for review so that my computer
may be diagnosed. I run Windows 7 Home Premium, if that is of any importance.
Link to the MiniDump File uploaded to Skydrive:

Thank you for your time and effort.

Hi,
The attached DMP file is of the MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a) bug check.
This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
BugCheck 1A, {5003, fffff70001080000, f95, 1504e009}
- The 1st parameter of the bug check is 5003 which indicates the working set free list is corrupt.
Please run Memtest for NO LESS than ~8 passes (several hours):

BSOD issues with windows 8.1

I often get BSOD while playing battlefield 4 but sometimes i get BSOD while im on firefox. I have been looking for an answer but never got one. I think my drivers are up-to-date but im not really sure beacuse i'm not an expert of computers. My dump files
can be found here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B104A9FADF76B2%21178
This is a major problem so I would be pleased if someone could help me .

Hi,
Both of the attached DMP files are of the
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e) bug check.
This indicates that the page frame number (PFN) list is corrupted.
This error is typically caused by a driver passing a bad memory descriptor list.

^^ nt!MiBadShareCount called into the bugcheck, and we have other memory related calls there as well. Looks like faulty RAM at first glance, so I'd like to go ahead and run Memtest first as opposed to checking for a driver causing corruption.
I checked the modules list and there doesn't appear to be anything problematic that would lead to such memory corruption, aside from maybe an out of date Creative driver, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about that.
Ensure your Creative driver is 100% up to date -
http://support.creative.com/
-- AFAIK, Creative marks their latest drivers for Windows 8 as 'beta' and do not have an official version yet, at least for my sound card. Yours may be the same, just some food for thought. They are still okay to download and install if this is the case for
you as well.
If you crash after the above, let's run Memtest for NO LESS than ~8 passes (several hours):

GX620+qx9300

Hello!
Sorry for my English.
I can't register on Russian forum and decided post question in this forum.
I have any question about compatibility intel processor qx9300 and notebook gx620-014(ru)
will work notebook if i replace processor (now i have install Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8600) on qx9300?
difference between this processor is so much in intel performance matrix
Processor Cache Bus Clock CTP in APP in WT
Number      L2 Speed Speed MTOPS GFLOPS 1 Way 2 Way 4 Way

Chipset(Intel®PM45+ICH9M http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=35515) is support this processor , because other vendors produce notebook with this processor.Bois support this processors(qx9300)?
Thanks!

Support replyed me that qx9300 not supported. I asked him why not supported(i think this problem in bios,hardware identical GT725,GX720), they are not asked me.
Interesting can i upgrade my bios from GX720(GX720 + qx9300 is supported).I don't understand why msi can't rewrite other bios with support qx9300 to bios GX620 - thats will be great.

official documents on intel site for PM45 Express Chipset and compatibility qx9300
It have support qx9300 )

Motion on Mac Pro seems Slow

I just moved my FCP Suite from a dual 2GHz G5 with 4 Gigs RAM to a new Mac Pro Dual 3 GHz Xeon with 6 Gigs RAM. I have the Universal crossgrade installed and Motion is at v2.1.2. I expected a significant performance improvement. I've opened a previously produced 1 minute Motion project for revisions in the new hardware/software setup and it performs no better and actually seems to be performing far worse than my old setup. I am using the same FireWire 800 hard drive in both instances for file storage.
Playback in the canvas is horribly jerky. Export to NTSC QT file is taking about an hour!!! for 1 minute of play. I've got to believe that something is not set up properly. Any clues?

Set yourself up a striped RAID with two or more drives for even faster performance - not so much in Motion but Final Cut will definitely feel it
Just make sure you back-up your files regularly - either on Timecoded tapes or perhaps getting an additional HD and setting up a Mirror RAID (0).
I use one for my system, two are striped, and the last one is a back-up drive. I back-up manually though.
Greg,
When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Motion 2.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
