MSI 645 Ultra-C vs MSI 845 Ultra-C

Can somebody tell me widh mobo from this 2 is better.
For the moment I use MSI 845 Ultra-C but I'm not satisfy by it.
Its recommend to change it with MSI 645 Ultra-C (MSI 645 Ultra) or not?
Thanks.

I don't think that MSI 845 Ultra-C its a good mobo, I had problems with it from the 1st day I have it. I change it once. I don't know what to say I don't see some performances from my P4, and I think the mobo its the problem here. Or maybe its because I have just an GForce 2 MX400 and 128 DDRAM?
Now I just install WIN .NET Webserver Edition and it seems to work fine, but with WIN XP Pro its not working at all. Maybe you give some advices because I really don't know what to do.
Another ideea that cross my mind it was to chenge it with MSI K7N420 PRO + Athlon XP 1600+. Is this a better ideea?
Thanks

  • Help needed pls!!! GF4 Ti4800 SE 8X on MSI 845 Ultra?

    Hi folks,
    I just purchased a GF4 Ti4800 SE 128mb 8X.
    I own a MSI 845 Ultra ARU (6398), I understand this board only supports up to 4X AGP, but the GF4 card should be able to "downgrade" to work with a 4x motherboard, I hope.
    Booting up is ok, but graphics start to tear on the window start-up screen. At the desktop, once i click the mouse, the desktop will hang like for 1 sec, then the monitor switch to Black screen, and then back desktop, this repeats when i click the mouse. There are also some weird colors here and there.
    Can anyone pls advise?

    I have the D-BRacket tool in the back and the lights first went 2 green top>1 green left, 1 green right which meant something like "Initialising Video Interface." and the computer didn't even work!!!nuhting, ZERO no bios no beep, but the power all worked. i fiddle around with things and Wen i turn it on again, the D-Bracket has ALL RED LIGHTS "CPU Damaged or inproperly placed" which is like impossible. ANd nuthing happens. I switch all my parts into my new one and nuthing is fried it all works!!put it all back together and the"Initalising video interface"lights happen again!!! i dunno whats wrong, maybe the mainboard partly fried or something i have no clue!! Monitor DOesn't show anything execpt a blank screen. Everything powers up but nuthing works!!

    What do you mean by multitasking not working? How? What happens?
    In any event, you should be able to switch to another App by clicking the Home button and touching the other App. Restarting the iPhone should not be required.

  • MSI 645-Ultra problem

    Hi, I have some problems with my computer.
    Here is my configuration:
    CPU: P4 1.6 ghz
    Motherboard: MSI-6547 645 Ultra
    Memory: 512 Mo DDR 266 mhz
    video: MSI 8836 GeForces II GTSTi64
    I build up this machine in January 2002 by myself and it work fine.  But, this week my computer start to turn off automatically and reboot, after it reboot i can work on it for about 20 min. and then the same thing append.  It even append to me when i was in the BIOS, so for sure its not a windows problem.
    I have try another video card and i still have the same problem.
    Any help would my appreciate, thanks.

    I can install a cheap vid card and I have NO Problem! ATI sent me a replacement card and it does the same thing, "Black Screen Lock-up" or just reboots. If both ATI cards are doing the same thing, there must be some kind of incompatability between XP and the 7500 AIW (no problems with ATI card and Win 98SE).
    ATI has washed their hands of any future responsibility, so I am apparently stuck with a $200 vid card that doesn't work with my system.
    Tell more about your system, bertz.

    In my computer I had a Network-adapter which coused a problem of self-reboot when i tried to shut-down.
    I replaced it with an older one - problems gone !!!

  • P4 Northwood 533FSB on an MSI 845 Ultra ARU

    Just got a simple question here.  Have not been able to find an answer anywhere, so thought I would ask.  Does the MSI 845 Ultra-ARU support the P4 Socket 478 533 FSB proc?  I was running a 478 1.6 @ 2.1 on it, and wanted to get the pops a 2.4 to run on it, so he would not have to overclock.  Game him the board, and Alpha, vid., and memory, and wanted to polish it off with this proc to get him off of the old 700 Athlon (just isn't right  to keep yo dad @ 700 when you have 2 @ 2.1  :D ).
    TIA for the input.
    Darrell

    Doesn't support 533mhz FSB cpus. Only 400 but up to 2.6ghz. You can get your Pops a 2.4ghz 400mhz fsb cpu.

  • Help with the MSI 645 Ultra!

     I've got a very frusturating problem. I just bought the MSI 645 ultra mobo to upgrade my system, along with a brand new P4 2.0 GHZ processor and 512 mb DDR ram to go onto the board. My problem is as follows: The computer is not booting up. No OS, no BIOS, no nothing. When I turn the power on and hit the switch, all the hardware in the case starts up and sounds fine... but the screen remains blank. All four lights on the little diagnostic tool/usb port thingy that came with the board stay red, which, according to the manual, indicates a problem with the processor.
    The processor is either bad (highly unlikely with it being an Intel chip) or for some reason its not working with the mobo. So, heres my question: Does an Intel P4 2.0 GHZ Northwood processor work with the MSI 645 Ultra?
    Under the list of supported speeds, 2.0 ghz is not listed ?( . Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

    Hi,
    Read the manual that came with your motherboard, it tells you were to connect the power button. Or, if that doesn't help you, I think you're better out turning your computer in at a service shop and let a trained technician do the work for you. 8)

  • Help with motherboard MSI 845 Ultra-C

    Hello, I have a problem with this motherboard:
    When I connect something in the PCi slot, Windows recognize there are something there, but i can´t install it because it can't recognize the drivers. I tried to change the slot, I have installed the last drivers of the motherboard and there is no way to use the PCIs slot. All the things I have tried, works perfectly in another computer, i have the original drivers and they have work time ago. If anyone can help i'll very very pleased. Thank you!
    edit: I have made a clear CMOS and it doesn't work
    Forgive muy English, but i`m spanish.
    In Spanish:
    Buenas tengo un problema con mis puertos PCIs de una placa MSI 845 Ultra-C.
    Cuando conecto algo a un puerto PCI (en concreto una tarjeta avermedia con sus drivers de casa, una tarjeta de red Realtek con sus drivers y otra tarjeta de red conceptronic c100i probadas en otros ordenadores y va perfecto) windows me dice q se a detectado un dispositivo pero nunca puede llegar a localizarlos, y ya creo q no es de los drivers. Sabeis de que puede ser?
    Ya he probado a quitarlo y ponerlo en todos los puertos cada cosa por separado, han funcionado en este pc alguna vez tambien y ahora no van. Muchas gracias por su ayuda
    Edito: Tambien he actualizado la placa base con los ultimos drivers q existian

  • MSI 845 Ultra-C and Western Digital WD1600BB

    Hi!
    I've got a problem with a MSI 845 Ultra-C based computer.
    It worked before but there were problems with it's HDD and I wanted to install a new and bought a Western Digital WD1600BB. I connected the IDE drives like this:
    IDE1: Western Digital WD1600BB (Master)
    IDE2: Samsung Combo drive (Master) and the Other 80GB HDD (Slave)
    The problem is that it doesn't detect the combo drive. When I push the button on it tha tray opens and everything looks nice except the bios. Before that the 80GB HDD and the combo worked well.
    What should I do ? I would like to know if this motherboard can handle 160GB HDDs.
    By the way this is my neighbours PC so please answer quickly if you can.

  • MSI 645 ultra xp / 2000 problem please help.

    I've got 3 MSI 645 ultra mobos. I've tried every thing i can think off to get xp installed and working. I don't get as far as formating the hard disk in the setup. I relpaced the power supply with a qtec 550 watt power supply (the gold one). i've flashed the bios to 1.9, i've used different hardisks and cables. I've checked the memory PC2100 and 2700. It's a pentium 4 1.5, I've tried a 2g in it as well. I'm using an ATI radeon 7500 but have tried a s3 agp card. All the other components work fine in another machine but not on my 3 MSI boards.
    Please help some one out there must have had the same problem. I'll buy the first person who fixes it cakes!!!

    Hi,
    I ran memtest 3.0 and there were no errors. it ran for 9 hours.
    I am only using one hard disk at a time. it's set as a master on IDE1 and the CDrom is on IDE2 as a master. should I use cable select?? I also tried the hard disk and CD on ide2 and that did not work either.

  • MSI 845 Ultra C with sound card???

    I recently bought a P4 2 Ghz with MSI 845 Ultra C, Geforce 4 Ti4200 128.
    A few weeks later i bought a simple sound card with surround support. Now when i try to install this software (Xp compatible) i get the error that the sound card is not installed and that the data is incorrect. I use the latest drivers from the internet. I believe this problem had to do with the onboard sound card of the motherboard. Is there anyway i can disable that???

    it is an XP bug, you might try windows update to see if MS fixed it.
    Here is for example ATI's doumentation of the error.
    I assume the bug won't be fixed by the update, so in that case you need to reinstall XP with the card already insalled in the slot.

Maybe you are looking for
