K7N420 Pro: amd processor speed?

Hi,
i was wondering with the MSI K7N420 Pro, what's the fastest amd processor that can be installed, right now i have an athlon 1800+.
Where can this information be found by the way?
Thanks.

any thrbrd cpu with a 266fsb rating they make with uptodate bios
so xp 2600 is possible but most xp 2600 are 333 fsb not the 266 you need
so be carefull
dont get a thornton they dont work with it

About to buy a Mac Pro: best Processor speed to get for non-graphics user.

I'm currently running a dual processor 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 1.5 GHz SDRAM. It's almost four years old.
The time has come to buy myself a Mac Pro; 8-core, I think!
Am I right that I'll experience greater speed if I add memory to 4 GB than if I buy the 3.0 GHz (or even the 3.2 GHz) version?
I don't do a lot of graphics and no games; but I do want speed.
What kind of performance boost will I see with 3.0 (or 3.2) over:
1 - What I have now (2 GHz PPC), and
2 - Over the 2.8 GHz Mac Pro?
Thanks for anyone else's experiences!

try and convince you?
i just erased my answer to you after rereading your last post.
not only are you going to use FCP and other demanding apps, but you are starting a business. Thats the clincher, at least would be for me.
it's one thing to settle for more time waiting for the machine to complete tasks, its quite another, when you have one eye on the clock counting the seconds left on this task and that task, because you have 5 clients who all wanted finished product on the same friday afternoon, and can i make it, and whats that beach ball now want, will i lose them as future clients, will they want their money back, and oh, i wish i had gotten the 8-core machine....
don't assume you're business might stay small, one project at a time type thing. One 200 person wedding might have 5 in the planning stages of their own wedding and they'll all take your name down without you knowing it until 5 days before their ceremony and their planned videographer is in the hospital and could you pleeease help us out....
for all we know, you are going to repost in this forum announcing to all of us that you just bought two more macpro 3.2ghz with 32g ram so your two employees can work...

Incorrect KT4 Ultra mobo & AMD processor speed

Hello everyone,
This is somewhat interesting. About a few months ago, a friend and myself built my system and it's been working fine with my games, AutoCad and all. It includes a KT4 Ultra mobo and an AMD XP 2000 processor, etc.
I didn't realized it then, but when I check under "System" icon under "Control Panel", it indicates that the processor is running at 1.25 mhz.
I know that the XP 2000 processor should run at 1.667 mhz, so why is my computer indicating the wrong speed??
The processor came in the original sealed AMD box w/ fan and all info.
Should I run another speed test from another software??
Is the mobo setup incorrectly and running the processor slower than it should be?? or the mobo running the processor fine, but showing the wrong speed??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
P.S...I have also ran the "System Information" under "System Tools" and it also shows the wrong speed.

Check your motherbaord for the correct jumper. The board is set at 100Mhz jumper, but should be set for 133Mhz. Also, check your bios and make sure 133Mhz frontside buss is enabled. Listing computer specs might help things, too.

FSB/RAM/AGP setting on K7n420 Pro?

Hi,
After reading through the forums, I noticed someone said they weren't getting the correct speed from their processor. I'd never checked if my processor was running at the right speed or not (AMD XP 1800+), I just took for granted it was running at the speed it was supposed to. But after checking I noticed it was only running at 1.1ghz. I checked the specs for the AMD XP 1800 and it is supposed to run at 1.5ghz
So following the advice in the thread I changed the settings to 133/266/66. The specs now states it is running at 1.54ghz (After a year running at 1.1ghz).
Is that safe enough for my mobo? As I don't want to do any damage to it. I do find my computer more noisier than before..or maybe it's my imagination?
I stupidly never took note of what the settings were before. I know the FSB was at 100 though.
So, is it safe enough to leave it at 133/26/66? If not, what setting would be safer for it?
Thanks.

MSI K7N420 Pro continous reboots while starting up

I have a computer with the following specs:
MSI-K7N420 Pro
AMD Athalon 1800
Crucial 256MB Ram PC2100
ON board Video
Quantum 40GB HD
Windows XP Pro
Codegen Power Supply 400 W
+5V - 40 Amps = 200W
+3.3V - 20 Amps = 66 W
+12 V - 12 Amps = 144 W
When the system is started up it will show the Windows XP Pro Screen loading, it will then flash a Blue Screen with some error text ~ 200ms and then the computer monitor will show a No Signal Message. The computer will reboot like it is in a loop. Randomly it will make it through the boot and go to safe mode, sometimes it will say the windows had a serious error and when it reports it to microsoft, the response from Microsoft is that the VGA Driver was hung up in a infinite thread. Please check video drivers. After it makes it through the boot sequence, it will run normally sometimes for days before it starts this routine over again. I have the latest bios, drivers and windows updates currently installed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, it seemed to start having most of the problems when Windows XP Service Pack 2 was installed. Six months ago, I had to reformat my harddrive due to missing system files (i.e. ntldr.dll, and others). No problems where found on the Hard drive.
Thanks in advance,

this has been discussed on this forum, a search will reveal all the info you want to know.
there was a batch of bad capacitors in the taiwanese market to put it short.

Looking to buy new MacBook Pro for editing with Premiere/After Effects, but wondering about trade-off between Processor Speed and Graphics Card

I'm a professional video editor (using Premiere and After Effects) looking to buy a new MacBook Pro and am deciding between two models. The slightly older model has a 2.8GHZ i7 (3rd generation) Quad Core processor with a 1GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE GT 650M Graphics Card. Then newer model has a 2.3GHZ i7 (4th generation) Quad Core preocessor with 2GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE 750M/Intel Iris Pro Graphics Card.
Which makes the most difference (processor speed vs. graphics card) with editing with Premiere and After Effects?
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1. Your MBP will be somewhat slower than your iMac, as reflected in the general speed; desktop Macs have more RAM and storage.
You recon? If he get's the 17", he would have up to 8x more RAM, 4 x more GPU,, and a bit faster CPU;.
2. Be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of extra RAM. Loading up the slot will make juggling multiple applications easier, like Photoshop, VLC, and Safari. However, more than 4gigs of RAM will make loading your MBP on startup twice as slow - at least a minute, probably longer. That's why a MBP user with extra RAM should sleep their machine nearly always when not in use, rather than powering off.
I did not know this, I just upgraded from 4gb to 8gb the other day. Have not noticed it being slower, but I don't often shut it down. It's nice to not even have to bother with ifreemem.
3. Additional storage and RAM will maximize the basic capabilities of your MBP, but you won't be able to make a 2.3ghz machine any faster than it already is.
SSD
4. I still feel that your iMac will be faster than your prospective MBP. The only way to dramatically increase the speed would be the installation of a SSD drive (like the lauded OWC series). But they're not cheap.
I don't want to rain on your parade, but want you to get a more realistic idea of your performance.
I chose a macbook pro, 17" of cause. I use it for gaming. Yes a iMac is better for gaming. But, it's nice to be able to move around. Set up a man cave in the lounge 1 week, or in the bedroom, the next. But you fork out a lot more dosh for that luxury. And yes, not as much power as Poikkeus has said.

Apple states that (of the MBP lines) it has to be from Mid/Late 2007 or later. yours seems to be right on the line.
Apple says
If you are running Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, then clicking More Info.
you must also have the latest version of Snow Leapord or Lion

What processor speed is the Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB IMAC?

What processor speed is the Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB IMAC?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Intel Iris Pro is the GPU that comes with the most basic Late 2013 iMac and the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. This iMac comes with a 2'7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. See > http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac

I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor. It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors. Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays.

Processor speed and RAM for Aperture? Comparing MacBook Pros.

I'm about to purchase a macbook pro and thought it best to ask people who are actually using aperture and other image editing software this question. I need to know if a boost in processor speed and video card from the 2.16 to the 2.33 MBP is noticable enough to make a difference. I'm just getting into RAW editing and my iBook can't handle aperture because of the video card, and I don't want to have any problems in the future. Is the price worth the difference?
I've tried posting in other places and have had little response, so I would appreciate it a lot considering I need to purchase today or tomorrow!

All in all, I'd recommend the 2.33 for Aperture. You'll likely keep this laptop for a 2-3 years, so what do the extra dollars give you?
The modest speed bump between 2.16 and 2.33 is OK ... Aperture will use it, esp. since there are 2 x procs. It's really 2 x 10% uplifts, theoretical. You will feel around a 5-10% improvement I suspect.
The bigger reason is the video card VRAM .... 256Mb v 128Mb. VRAM WILL BE USED BY APERTURE and cannot be upgraded later. You soon notice when your RAW's or scanned images are paged from VRAM to main memory and back. Aperture moves the image into VRAM for processing image data using the GPU. More is a good, good thing..... esp. if you ever hang a 2nd monitor off your laptop (which is very common practice).
The additional 1Gb RAM is also needed. Aperture runs like a dog with 8Mpixel plus RAW's on 1Gb RAM and really starts to cruise on 2Gb.
So, you'd need the extra Gb RAM anyway, $175 add-on. That leaves a net of $325, or less than $10/month over the life of your laptop.
All in all then, I'd recommend the 2.33 v 2.16 for Aperture.

I'm a recently graduated film student and my macbook pro needs an upgrade... Will be using FCPX, Adobe CS6 etc. Which 15' macbook pro will be best suited for me? I'm most concerned about the processor speeds (what do they really mean in english?)

I need a new 15" MBP for film editing. The processor speed numbers are confusing.

The Tech Specs for the MBPr are here:http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/ and you can see both 15" models come with the i7 processor, one at 2.0 and the other at 2.3 GHz. The processors are identical except for the clock speed, which directly indicates how many calculations a second they can perform. If you are doing things like editing or rendering or ray tracing, heavy duty computational things, the faster the processor, the less time it takes to do the task.
But the 2.3 GHz machine has even more, twice the memory and twice the storage capacity. With film work that will get to be important since you can load more directly into memory where it is readily accessible to the processor, and twice the storage so you do not have to move material to an external drive so soon. Both of which will contribute to faster workload turn around for you.
For your needs, the faster machine with twice the memory and twice the SSD storage will be the thing you need. And, keep in mind that the MBP cannot be upgraded after purchase like in the past. So get all you will need now at the time of purchase.

My AMD Athlon XP 1700+ isnt giving everything with K7N420 Pro...Help

Like it says in my topic, I have an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ and the K7N420 Pro mobo.
Normally, my Athlon XP 1700+ would have to run at 1.47ghz but somehow, it only runs at 1100mhz...
Now my question is why? Is it maybe the FSB? If so, how, and to where, should I change it?
Thanks in advance..

I messed with it before, and it bnlew my mobo lol, now I got a new one, and dont wanna do it again
so you could you please tell me exactly where I do it?

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum, you set the FSB in the Bios under Advanced Chipset Features/ CPU FSB Clock.

Looking to buy MacBook Pro: Processor Speeds

I am looking to buy a 15" MacBook Pro with 4GB Memory and a 200GB HD, but don't know whether its worth £200 more to get .2 Ghz more processor speed with the 2.4Ghz model, opposed to the 2.2Ghz model. I have never owned a Mac before, will it make much difference? Thanks. Tom. x

Is a new OS likely to be a tad unstable?
Likely, no. Unlike Windows Vista this is not a major overhaul and rebuild but a progression of software releases. For stability this is a huge advantage for Apple and more importantly, us users. But as with all major software releases there will be issues of one type or other which range from cosmetic, to marginally annoying and then to very serious which can be crippling.
While I don't expect very many major issues, if any, it's not a given, even with Apple, as some will attest to with even minor updates.
Ultimately the "risk" is dependent on how mission critical your system is. Personally, I never upgrade to a new OS, which even includes minor updates, until I see what issues are going around and with what applications. Only then will I be happy to make the move. The .2 updater is the magic one for me which usually comes a few months later. Plenty of time to prepare my transition, to ensure all of my software is fully comaptible and to choose carefully when it suit me best.
Everyone's different and see "risk" different so do what makes you happy.
