N00B here, looking for MAT/PAT answers and BIOS advice...

I just built my machine from uugotz last night using the FIS2R board, a 2.6C, the Zalman 7000, and some Knight Rider lookin sticks from Corsair (2 x 512MB XMS Pro 3200LL Twinx).
Pic for the curious:  http://www.rememberphil.com/zig/northbridge.jpg
I immediately upgraded to 1.9, and set my RAM timings to SPD.  I can get 2/3/2/6 just like Corsair's specs say, but only after upping the Vdimm to 2.7, which from what I've read on the forums here is SOP, so that's cool...
Here's what I can't figure out:
1.  I can't up the performance mode beyond Fast without getting hit with the "timings too tight" message, even if I intentionally lower the .  What gives?  
2.  Is MAT just the MSI implementation of PAT for copyright's sake, or is it something different?
3. I know what PAT is, but what exactly does the different "Performance Levels" do anyway?  
4. What BIOS do you guys recommend?  1.8? 1.9? 1.9beta?
Thanks,
-ZIG

HELP!
I just ordered my first custom system that includeds a MSI 865PE Neo2 FIS2R mother board, P4 3.2 Ghz processor and Corsair TwinX 1024 3200LL memory.
I agonized over the memory selection and only settled on the above after reading numerous glowing reviews such as below from http://techreport.com/ja.zz?comments=5264
"I should share something with you about Corsair RAM that we learned this past week and confirmed in spades—Geoff, Andy, and I all three—over the weekend in our various testing endeavors. I mentioned in my 875P and 865 chipset reviews that I'd had some trouble getting Corsair's XMS3200LL memory working with its default timings on these new Intel chipsets, so I wrote Corsair to see what was up. Here's the answer I got from Robert Pearce, Corsair's Applications Specialist:
The problem is the chipset won't handle a tRCD (RAS to CAS Delay) of 2. We've done a revision of the SPD to make the LL's work on the 875 and 865 chipsets, the settings are now 2-3-2-6 by default.
We will, of course, warranty any modules with the older SPD but it should be noted that the end user can simply manually adjust the BIOS to the settings noted above.
Sure enough, using the latest BIOS revisions for the various 865 and 875 boards we have running around here, we were all able to get XMS3200LL (or in my case, plain ol' XMS3200 v1.1) DIMMs working with very aggressive timings, up to and including 2-3-2-6 at 400MHz, so long as the RAS to CAS delay was set to 3. Conversely, even with very relaxed timings for the other settings, the systems weren't happy with the RAS to CAS delay at 2.
This is a minor snag for Corsair, I suppose, but the manual workaround works beautifully, and the RAM is still easily superior to the other DDR400 samples I've encountered. "
And from - http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.html?i=1828&p=2
After countless hours of testing there is no doubt that Corsair LL (Low Latency) PC3200 modules are the fastest and most compatible DDR memory modules to pair with your 865PE or 875P motherboard (regular CAS2.0 Corsair modules are just as good as LL/TwinX modules). Initially we had the most problems with Corsair's modules, but thankfully motherboard manufacturers were able to come through with solid BIOS releases that remedied all of these issues.
So the question is ... has this problem been fixed or are these review full of baloney? I have never overclocked, but the features that come with the MSI board would allow me to do so as a Noob. Have I wasted $300.00? Should I call the reseller and tell them to STOP and put a different type of memory in my system?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

    looking for a simple answer  ........why is it more difficult for skype to connect than before . It fails to ring most times and your never sure if it is just slow or did not dial in the first place???  and is there any way to disable the leave a message feature ??? I am afraid soon it will be like most wondows applications where you will need endless updates and patches just to keep it running ..... Why is it that everyone is trying to fix everthing when it isnt broken.

    WTF? I'm sure you can find plenty of examples on google. It's on you to take the time to go through them, study them, and, if you still don't understand something, post a clear, concrete question that indicates what you read and what you didn't understand about it.
    As is, you're essentially treating folks here as your research flunkies and saying, "Give me an example that's better than all the ones already easily available to me. Read my mind to know why I didn't like them."

    I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?

  • I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • With Adobe Flash, the image is looking for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. The result is that the imbedded image is too large for the space allowed. Is there a zoom setting for Firefox?

    When running FB game apps, the image loaded is too large for the FB space. The program looks for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. This was from the error screen. I have not been able to locate where the image zoom is located (found the font adjustment). I am new to FireFox and would like to sort this out please.
    Your installed plug in assume Shockwave Flash 10.3, but I thought it was Adobe Flash 10.3. Are they one and the same?
    Below is the warning message from the Error Console

    I'm not sure the CSS warning is relevant to Flash. Maybe adjust your overall zoom level on Facebook manually from the View menu?
    View > Zoom
    If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to display the classic menu bar.

    Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
    Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
    His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
    I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
    THE GOODREADER OPTION
    1.  CREATE the document you want to send.
    2.  SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
    3.  Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
    4.  COMPOSE your Reply.
    5.  DOUBLE TAP the message.
    6.  TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
    7.  OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
    8.  At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
    9.  TAP the Export button.
    10.  TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
    11.  TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
    12.  ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
    13.  SEND your email Reply.
    The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
    1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
    2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
    3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
    4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
    5 Select e-mail file
    6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
    7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
    8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
    Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

  • How do I configure itunes to look for my Outlook contacts and calendar?

    Being fairly new with the iPhone, how do I configure itunes to look for my Outlook contacts and calendar?  At the moment,when I try to sync, I get the "No supported calendar application can be found" message.  Thanks!

    You could try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then reinstalling iTunes.  This will replace a potentially corrupt Outlook plugin.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • Xmlrpc and soap, looking for a simple answer to a simple question

    Hello,
    Can someone tell me, are java implementations of web service protocols such as soap and xmlrpc built around servlets (and supporting classes of course) that know how to deal with these specific xml formats? I know there are various libraries for handling these things but on the most basic level it's still using a Servlet as an end point for an http request and then handing out the request to the supporting classes isn't it?
    thanks a bunch
    -seth

    XML-RPC and SOAP were developed outside of Sun, outside of Java. They are uniform international standards of communications developed on top of XML standards to be easily used by applications of different types.
    XML, like Java, is cross-platform, but for applications. XML defines document structure, and because it is an international standard, many people have access to the "format." An application, like Microsoft Word, can read an XML document created by some other Application that is written in XML because both understand XML. Although they can read the document, they may not understand the data. Various other XML technologies enable the application to retrieve another XML document that describes the elements or that defines how the data is to be displayed and/or used. XML Style Sheets and XML Translations are just two such things.
    Not everyone knows the Adobe PDF format, so a program like MS Word is not able to read it, but if it was written in XML, then Word could read the document, get the technology that describes how to handle the data, and then properly display it to the user, allow editing, then save it back into XML format, and then Acrobat could read the edited data and display it correctly as well. Two different applications, one common format.

  • How do I stop mavericks from looking for an old server and nagging me that it can't find it?

    MacBook Air running OS X 10.9.4
    Had it set up to connect to my main iMac for shared files.  Wife complained that when my iMac wasn't on the MacBook constantly nagged her with a message saying it couldn't connect to the server (my iMac).
    Removed sharing on my iMac.  Removed recent server list from the MacBook Air.  Removed my iMac from the finder side bar in the MacBook.  Now the MacBook Air constantly naggs us that it can't find the server (name of my iMac).  I just want the @#$@# thing to shut up, quit looking for the iMac and be quiet.
    Need help as I can't figure this one out.
    PLEASE!!  

    There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be hard to resolve. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
    Step 1
    If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. A known offender is "AdobeResourceSynchronizer," which is a component of some Adobe products. See also this discussion.
    Step 2
    If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
    Step 3
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
              Go ▹ Go to Server...
    from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
              Clear Recent Servers…
    and confirm. Test.
    Step 4
    Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use.
    Step 5
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing  command-C:
    ~/Library/PDF Services
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
    Step 6
    Open the folder
    ~/Library/Preferences
    as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
    Log out and back in again, and test.
    Step 7
    Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application.
    Try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
    Step 8
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Step 9
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
    Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
    In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and/Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
    Step 10
    Open the following file as you did in the last step:
    /etc/auto_master
    It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master          # Use directory service
    /net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    /Network/Servers     -fstab
    /-               -static
    If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

  • Looking for a high-performance and reliable NAS

    Hi,

    However I've not found a good review for Promise SOHO NAS devices such NSx700 and NSx600.
    Is anybody here using them? If so how would you rate these devices?

Oracle has made a few, seemingly minor changes that have really made me like it more (and this is coming from a guy that can almost remember every keystroke in AppMan -- I never touched the mouse and was way more productive -- Don't even get me started on Excel 2007+):
    1) Black text on a white background -- or at least dark blue on a white background. When I bounce between 11.1.2.1 in the cloud and the 11.1.1.3 VM I have it's uncanny how much easier it is to read in 11.1.2.1.
    2) HBRs now have REAL tabs instead of those brain-dead spaces they used to put in. Actually, you could tab, but on save, close, and reopen they would revert to spaces. No more. In fact the tabs work BETTER in HBRs than they do in calc scripts.
    I guess that's about it, but those were two real pain points for me. The colors make a huge difference in readability. Thank goodness someone in product support looked at a book and noticed the default color scheme.
