I would probably consider not being able to turn the TLB errata fix off a problem. Going from the original BIOS (v1.0 I think) to 1.3 lowered my computers performance by about 10%ish. This includes FPS in games and all 3DMark scores.
Now it could be something totally different causing the lowered performance as I do not know when MSI added the "fix". I never run virtualization programs so the fix does only harm in terms of performance.
I did ask MSI about the posibility to disable TLB fix in BIOS and this what they answered:

K9A2 Platinum BIOS - Beating a Dead Horse?

I heard a rumor (posted on the AMD processor forums in one of my posts) that MSI has stopped adding to the K9A2 Platinum (V1 board) BIOS. They will not be adding a selective disable to the TLB bug, they will not be adding a northbridge multiplier setting. Any truth to this horrible rumor? My support request with MSI to add a northbridge multiplier so I can actually get my memory speed up where it is rated was met with the likes of "we probably won't be doing that". Is BIOS 1.3 going to be the last one? I don't really WANT to go back to BIOS P.0E just so I can unlock the northbridge multiplier. It has a bunch of other issues with memory. This board is priced quite low considering... I wonder if they ended up losing money on it and decided to stop supporting the V1 board?

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum Bios Update

I was just wondering if anyone has any info if MSI will make a more robust bios after 1.5 that will support overclocking of CPU voltages. As it is I can only get 2.8 GHZ on my phenom 9850 because of the inability to up CPU voltages.My friend has the newest ASUS board which has a much better bios and he's been able to overclock his 9850 to 3.36 stable with almost identical hardware to mine.
If you are refering to the newest 790GX boards: they will simply overclock the CPU higher than a 790FX board will, because of the ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) function of the new SB750 southbridge. Not really a matter of BIOS options, but a matter of a newer chipset...
You would probably match the results of the new ASUS board using the new MSI board, the DKA790GX Platinum for example...

Beating a dead horse: Access Time Capsule files w/ an internet browser $

I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I have spent 2 days and countless hours looking up how to access my TC using an internet browser. I've read about port fwding and dynamic vs. static IPs. I cannot figure this out. If someone could help me and actually get it to work, I would be willing to pay them a reward for there services thru paypal. I don't want to sign up for Mobile Me or pay for any monthly subscriptions. I just wanna be able to access my TC and it's files where ever I am using an internet browser. Here's what I've got:
MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mac OS 10.6.4
Verizon Fios router model MI424WR-GEN2 w/ a dynamic IP
My TC is connected by ethernet to the Verizon router which enables me to use the WiFi on the TC
Do I have to sign into my Verizon router and change setting?
I'm pretty network illiterate so a good step-by-step would be great.
Thank so much to whoever can help me.

After all the setting have been put in, I'm getting an error that won't let me update the TC. It wants me to correct 2 problems. "The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device. What's that?
This error message is due to the fact that the TC is performing as a router (its default) and not as a bridge (as it should be) because it is downstream of your Verizon-provided router.
I apologize as I just realized when I first responded to you, that I had assumed that the TC was the only router in your network configuration. As such I had provided you with instructions based on that assumption.
As such, at least two things need to change in the instructions that I provided: 1) The Verizon-supplied router is your main Internet router and it is the one that needs to be configured for Port Mapping/Forwarding, not the TC, and 2) The TC should be reconfigured as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the TC > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)).
So I used the "with Time Capsule password", was that right?
Yes, that would be correct.
Here are the "adjusted" instructions:
AirPort Utility > Select the TC
o Note the value of the IP Address. This is the IP address of the TC that was assigned by the Verizon-supplied router. We are going to want to change this to a static IP address. For now, just note what IP address range it is in, i.e., 10.n.n.n or 192.168.n.n, etc.
Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
o Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Manual Setup > Internet > TCP/IP
o Configure IPv4 = Manually
o IP Address = select an IP address just outside of the range provided by your Verizon router. For example, if the router is supplying IP addresses in the range of 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.50, enter 192.168.0.51 here.
o Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
o Router Address = This would be the LAN-side IP address of your Verizon router. Most likely it is 192.168.0.1
o DNS Servers = you would need to get these from your ISP, or just use the OpenDNS servers
o Domain Name = you can leave this blank
Manual Setup > Disks > Files Sharing tab
o Enable file sharing (checked)
o Secure Shared Disks = With Time Capsule password
o AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed
o Share disks over Ethernet WAN port (checked)
Manual Setup > AirPort > Base Station
o Enter a Base Station Password and verify it in the Verify Password box.
o When you have made all the changes, click Update.
Port Mapping instructions would be specific for your Verizon router. If you don't already, you may need to download a copy of the User Guide for this router in order to configure Port Mapping properly. The key is that the IP address for the port mapping would now be the private static IP address that you assigned to the TC. The Public & Private ports would be the same.

Gamma issue... beating a dead horse

so so confused, about this gamma shift from After Effects to Final Cut. I rendered the same clip out 4 different times and each time it has different gamma. Here are my render settings:
1. v210 Codec
2. Quicktime Animation
3. Apple FCP Uncompressed 8bit
4. ProRez 422 HQ
The first 3 I thought were uncompressed or "slightly" compressed. The v210 codec looked like crap. The best was Animation & FCP Uncompressed... but again they look different. This is complete madness. And it did not matter if I selected use Legacy. Out of all our gear only Final Cut is gamma crazy... Can someone explain to me why such a difference in these clips. I know I'm beating a dead horse here. Thanks for any helpful tips or pointers

Mine is fluctuating. Mine worked without having the Match Legacy Gamma Adjustment on and then off then on. I did something which seemed to overwrite a setting and reset something. Not sure.
Try this.
In project settings, Turn on the Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma.
Render something in the render que. My video suddenly got darker and the results were darker than normal.
I went back, checked it off, re-rendered it, and it worked out perfectly.

G3 os 10.3.9- question- beating a dead horse

i know i am beating a dead horse and this has probably been asked a million times.
ibook g3- 500mhz os 10.3.9
i have always had pc's and i got the first iphone when they first came out, and had every once since, loved those **** phones.(really loving the iphone 4)
my question is this, i am looking for tips also
i recently came across a ibook g3 from a trade i made off craigslist.
the ibook looks great, almost new.
but i noticed that it surfs the net pretty fast but when i go to certain sites like worldstar or youtube it either cancels the browser or the video looks choppy and wont play smooth.
what web browser is best for my os and also what can i do to make the youtube videos work smoothly, i have a bunch of softwear on the ibook i want to delete if it is slowing down the computer, excell, word, entourage, ect.
mostly looking to just use the laptop for music, photos and surfing the web(facebook), and watching youtube video's
any tips or advise, remember i am new to the mac world(outside of iphones)''
thank you to all who answer,
p.s. i know i got a outdated and old laptop but i got a good deal on it, traded away 2 old verizon cell phones i had that where collecting dust

Hi, Paul. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Gerald's linked User Tip applies mostly to people working in Mac OS X 10.4.
Here is the applicable section for Mac OS X 10.3.9:
For any video URL on YouTube, add &fmt=5 to the end of the URL, and this will force videos to run in quarter VGA mode (320x240). The video quality will be degraded, but you should maintain a stable frame rate that is uninterrupted and capable of streaming without the need to pause and wait for the entire video to load.
Also, if you restart the iBook, and don't have any other applications running except for the browser you're using to watch the video. Firefox will probably be more successful than any other browser for watching YouTube. Also, as the User Tip hints, pausing the video while it's loading and waiting until it's fully loaded can help.
If the RAM has not been maximized with a 512 MB module in the one user-accessible RAM slot, that can help speed things up, too.
The iBook G3 500 MHz came out in 2001; YouTube didn't start up until 2005. So you may be able to understand from that information why the 500 MHz iBook has a hard time with YouTube videos.
Good luck with it.

Are there any MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios version with better V-core adjust?

Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone knows if there are some bios version to MSI K9A2 Platinum there they have change the V-core settings. I think it´s very big step between the different V-core setting.
In my bios (v.1.3) i have this settings at V-core. Auto=1.32v (AMD 5000+ BE) then 1.36, 1.39, 1.44, 1.49, 1.51. etc.
So, if anyone knows if there are som bios version that have better options to the V-core settings i would be grateful

K9A2 Platinum BIOS, are there any hard drive size limitations ?

I have a K9A2 Platinum system with version 1.10 of the AMI BIOS. Recently trying to re-initialize a Linux grub /boot partition which is near the end of my 2 TB hard drive I received the message:
"Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS"
I see nothing in the AMI BIOS limiting the number of cylinders on any of my hard disks. Is there some setting in the BIOS I should be changing to fix this problem or is this just a legacy grub limitation ?

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum ACPI errors after resume

This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114100.0

You're welcome!
I had same problem with my old build; same RX1950 card but with K8NGM2-FID board. I think I may have updated the Catalyst drivers after I gave up trying to get standby to work, but it works flawlessly now in this new K9A2 Platinum system I have. Just to note, I rebuilt my brother's K7N2 Delta2 system with the old K8NGM2-FID board, and resume from standby works fine there too. So it could well have just been a driver issue.

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum - HT and PCI-E speeds in bios???

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=112669.0

Quote from: Bleek on 30-November-07, 20:35:07
Firstly thanks for the quick reply!
In my experience PCI-E speeds effect stability, sometimes raising just past 100MHz actually increases stability.
AMD OverDrive seems to have a few limits (unless its user error) whereby it limits the voltage I can use, max of 1.35 which isn't enough. I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?
Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D
Thanks in advance.
" I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?"
simply install it and go and see
"Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
"Is that bios tested?"
some users is using it, without problems if you asking that.
"If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
maybe yes, maybe no.. BIOS flashing is always risky, if you decide to use it do it at own risk.
else just be patient and wait for official version.

MOVED: P965 Platinum BIOS 1.8 worth trying?

This topic has been moved to Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo based boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113122.0

I dont' know what people say but one thing is clear: MSI 965 Platinum is JUNK!!
The only cpu which could be clocked is p4 3Ghz. I've clocked it to 3800, bios ver 1.4
with bios 1.5 1.6 system reset at 3500. 1.7 was ok again.
Next cpu E2140 cloked from 1600 to 2144+corecell=>2270. note that sistem won't boot if fsb higher than 268 in bios (ver 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8) but could be clocked if DOT activated.
Next cpu E6750 clocked from 2.66 to 2.98 FSB 366. with fsb higher than 370 sistem reset, also with DOT i see higher instability.
OT: i read on this forum that MSI told us that this board is for gamers/not overcloking ))))
well then, why the F*** put PLATINUM? it's the same S*** like NEO but 60E more..for what?
So my friends, i ordered an ASUS(i don't like brand but i like quality), i'm sad 'cause i've used MSI since 815E but now even P35 Platinum with rev1.1 is not more than a BULK, JUNK (look how poor clocking is).

K9A2 Platinum bios 1.4 or 1.5 Promise RAID fail Boot.

Ok I have BIOS version 1.3 running fine. I want to upgrade to a bios that officially support the phenom and its power usage. So back in may I try to upgrade to bios 1.4. No good the machine will not boot the RAID set that contains window XP. :( Reverted back. Contacted support. Not much help... a few weeks pass. Contact support again they send me bios version 1.51. Same issue. Reverted back to 1.3. Recently I tried the final release of 1.5 with the same issue.
Anyone out there using a phenom on the K9A2 and booting with the Promise RAID controller in a striped 0 set ? How did you get it to work with the current bios version. Tech support 'claims' they have no problem with the bios and that they have tested it with the promise controller booting to XP.
Thanks,
Jon Harrell

Considering the very large files that regularly run through the system and the extra cpus that windows inefficiently uses I doubt a software controller would impact the performance gains significantly. The units we have prep large format presentations and regularly handle very large files. Bandwidth is key. If this was the average desktop or even a web server yes 1 drive would most definitely be faster. But that would be a different subject.
Although now we might just be considering scraping the whole MSI created mess, and purchasing a hardware solution like that of the quad sata raid in our server.
But for now:
Does any one know the perfect combination?
e.g. Promise driver 1.1.1030.47 !work with Bios 1.50 (promise 2.8.1030.0032)
Thanks,
jh

Another thing why is updateing your Bios your own risk? When it was MSI that messed it up in the first place and the board needs to be updated?
