Need I upgrade My MSI 694T-Pro?

I have a mainboard which I have been using it over 5 years. Actually, I like it very much because it never making any troubles to me. Owing to it's high quality and suitability that I almost had  not it repaired.
My favor 6309 V5.0, I had refreshed it's BIOS to new version V7.5 and it can support 160G HDD. Unfortunately, I am still using GF2 MX400 32M VGA card and PIII 1G CPU, I found my motherboard can support PIII-S tulatain and I dislike CIII so I wanna to purchase a PIII-S 1.4G and ATI9550 double 128M VGA card but I hesitate to carry out my plan at once.
For one thing, PIII-S 1.4G may be not well than my imagine, for another I have not known  ATI 9550 can be used on my board because  I have heard somebody often say it can't using in VIA board.
I am a fans of MSI and I have bought a new P35 motherboard now. However, I am not willing to dispose my 694T-Pro and I am using it like my close friend sometimes. For your surprising, My 6309 V5.0 still look like brandnew and I plan to using it 3-5years.
Need I upgrade My MSI 694T-Pro? Thank you ,very much!

Thank you for your reply!
Firstly, I am willing to upgrade my 6309 only for loving it deeply but I have  owned a newly PC now, I have bought it last month and it is advanced as many people perfect. ( Q6600+P5K SE +2G*2 Kingston+320G 7200.11 +XFX 8800GT +TT KK550 +G1 +DVD SATA)
Secondly, I wanna to obtain good quality of  screen display, meanwhile, I found it has little distinguish from new PC when I am  just typing and suffering Internet. However, I had a amount of PC games under DX 8.0 so I need a stronger VGA card instead of my GF2, how about it?
Overall, I just use my 6309 for simple affair and I usually do more complicated work by means of new PC.
My question is ,  what a best VGA card can 694T-Pro be used ?
Thank you!

  • Question of MSI 694T-Pro

    My motherboard of PC is msi-694T-pro, although I 've updated BIOS to the latest V7.5, I feel it so low in speed. For instance, I used Windows tool to testmy PC and find it cann't exceed my 815EPT, especially in VGA card and SDRAM!
    My PC:
    694T-Pro (v7.5 BIOS)
    PIII 1G
    HY PC133 512M
    DVD-ROM
    GEFORCE4 MX440SE 64M
    160G HDD
    May I need to purchase a PIII-S 1.4G CPU, can it improve my PC'speed as much as possible?
    Need I change ATI Radeon 8500 VGA card instead of my old card?
    How to renew my PC assemblies in high effiiciencyand economy?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum
    The fastest PIII cpu that is supported by your motherboard is a 1.26 Tulatin core.  Check the cpu support chart.
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=281&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=#menu
    Do you have 4x agp enabled in your bios?  Your video card is able to run at 4xagp.
    Does your cpu have the 100Mhz front side bus?  If the cpu has a 100Mhz fsb and the memory is set to run 1:1 with the cpu in the bios, then the memory is running at 100Mhz as well instead of the 133 that it is rated to run at. 
    Setting the memory to run at Auto or SPD is the bios will help speed the system up a little.
    I would not spend any money on it to try and speed it up if it was mine.  Save that money and add to it until you can purchase the components to build a new system.  That will give you the best return on any investment you might make for computer parts..

  • MSI 694T Pro USB

    I Have a    MSI 694T Pro (MS-6309 v5.0)
    i have had trouble hooking up the front USB port plugs on my tower to the motherboard pins
    does anyone have a diagram or description of what order the plugs should go in
    Thanks

    Pin 1 = Power Pin 2 = Power
    Pin 3 = Data - Pin 4 = Data -
    Pin 5 = Data + Pin 6 = Data +
    Pin 7 = Ground Pin 8 = Ground
    Pin 9 = Key or Blocked pin Pin 10 = Ground OC (open/no connection)
    In your little depiction pin 1 will be upper left, pin 2 upper right, no pin 9, pin 10 lower right
    Edit: looks like Richard got that one in there before I hit the post button.

  • Rebooting after it boot up once..[MSI 694T pro]

    spec : PIII 1GHhz..
    I busted my mainboard a week ago so I ordered MSI 694T pro to replace
    well..it seems like working well
    but after I leave the computer off for long time,
    if I turn on the computer, the computer reboot itself automatically after it goes into Windows..
    I thought it was ACPI problem. so I tried to flash the BIOS. I tried all version of BIOS, but none of those BIOS can't fix the problem.
    Rebooting occurs only once when I turn on the computer.
    After I can use without any problem.
    Because of automatic reboot during booting up, Windows gets massed up...
    is the board inferior? or is there any way to fix this problem?

    I found the problem..
    it was one of the memories..
    One of those were broken. I tried switching network cards to find out the problems, but I couldn't find anything.
    Finally, I parted everything and put those one by one..
    oh my gosh...it was the stupid memory...
    but still I have a problem
    After I reinstalled win2k, one other blue screen msg came out.
    Actually, it also came out when I used the broken memory, but I didn't mention about it b/c I thought every problem was from mainboard, which wasn't..
    anyway, after I reinstalled w2k, it says this mainboard doesn't support ACPI, but it is supposed to be...
    but this msg also comes out only once. After all, it never comes out again..but I just wonder why this happens
    thx

  • APPLE: We Need An Upgrade Price for Logic Pro X!!!

    There has always been an Upgrade path for Logic Pro. Where is it???

    I've been using Logic since it was Notator 2.5 as well, upgrading every time, and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with their being no upgrade price.
    Reasons?
    1. Even at the full price, Logic X is cheaper than any ProTools upgrade price.
    2. It is a ridiculously powerful piece of software which can do things I was only dreaming of being able to do 20 years ago. Frankly I think $200/£139 is astonishingly good value for what it can do.
    Perhaps people should stop convincing themselves that software manufacturers somehow 'owe them'  just because they're long-term users? Apple has delivered a  piece of professional level software at a remarkable price - for that I'm actually pretty thankful!
    Nobody ever said doing professional quality audio was cheap.

  • MSI 694T Pro AGP and PCI clocks in OC

    Hi!
    I wonder about when raising FSB on this motherboard; will there be any divider for the pci and agp clocks, so the pci stays at 33 mhz so I don't mess up any hardware there? And what about the AGP?  ?(
    specs are as follows:
    1.2 celeron (100*12)
    ATI Radeon 7500
    I'll be happy for all responding!  )
    And excuse my english please!  

    Hi Assaf,
    This gets to be more of a mystery!

    No, there is no sign any such a device in the boot up information, which is a bit strange isn't it? It lists my other stuff o.k. - see below.
    What other PCI cards do you have?
    I have the following installed:
    Network Adaptor 1: Realtek RTL8139(A)-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor. The driver for this must be included in Win 2000 as I didn't have to install anything for it.
    Network Adaptor 2: BT Speedway ISDN PCI Card Rev. A (Win 2000). I had to install the driver for this from the supplied CD.
    Video Adaptor: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64/M64 PRO. I installed the latest unified driver from NVIDIA (Version: 44.03
    Release Date: May 14, 2003).
    What puzzles me most is that when I rebuilt the system I started out with just the video card installed and no other adaptors (the card was using the Microsoft supplied driver) and there was no sign of the sound system then. So, unless there is something fundamentally wrong with the motherboard surely the sound should have been detected?
    Cheers and thanks for your help.

  • 694t pro 2beeps after bios upgrade

    Hi,
    I have an MSI 694t pro with a via chipset (vt82c694) and I was having problems with a sound card installation so I tried to upgrade the bios.  I used the bios on http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=20&kind=1 which was file name 6309v75.exe
    I unpacked the files and rebooted using a dos boot disk.  I ran the command for the bios tool with the path for the bios file (can't remember name exactly but something like... a:\avpl??.exe a:\temp\nameofbiosfile.708
    After rebooting I do not get any post... all I get now is an infuriating beep beep which happens in about a second, followed by a 1 second pause and then those two beeps in a second again followed by a 1 second pause and this goes on and on continuos.  I seem to recall a SIS agp logo when the motherboard used to work.  The lights from bottom to top und jacks on the motherboard light up red, red, green, red.
    Does anybody have any ideas what this problem is and how to work around it please?
    many thanks

  • Help! 694T Pro (MS6309) not working...

    I have a MSI 694T Pro (otherwise known as a MS6309) which worked very well until a few days ago when I changed my cpu cooler. Now it POST's perfectly and I can enter and use the BIOS setup but it simply hangs when trying to boot (HDD, CD or Floppy). The D-Leds say that it's trying to boot.
    I have a thesis to finish by the end of the month so I really need my computer.

    I did remount the original cooler (with plenty of heat goop) and checked every cable. The hard drive, floppy and dvd are all detected properly, and the cpu temperature and cpu fan speeds give nice healthy readings in the bios...

  • How can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4  to 10.0.7

    I need to upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7 but can not find how to do this. Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

         You might do some web searching on "FCPx  torrent ".  I would think that if you have a legitimate copy of FCPx there would be no legal/moral issue with pulling down a 10.0.7 version via bittorrent, but I'm not a lawyer. And of course there are other issues relating to such software but as Tom implies, you can't get an older version from Apple so you'll have to find somebody, somewhere with a 10.0.7 copy that you can install.

  • T61 (7658 03U) Upgrading to Windows 7 pro

    I have a T71 (7658 03U) Chipset GM965 with XP Pro SP3 installed. I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. I have 3 GB of RAM and it looks like I have a 32 bit version of XP installed. How do I move to Windows 7 pro and can I install the 64 bit version of Win 7 Pro? Ran the Windows 7 Advisor but it is not real clear on drivers. Also thought I saw in this forum that my machine could run 8GB of RAM. Please advise on how to successfully migrate to Windows 7 Pro. Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    While a T61 will take 8GB of RAM, you need a 64-bit OS in order to utilize more than 3GB.
    Clean install is the only approach I'd recommend and T61 is fully supported in the W7 environment.
    Happy upgrading.

  • 694T Pro and Asus v8200 video card

    I can't seem to make my MSI 694T Pro run at AGP 4x mode with my Asus v8200 (a GeForce3 video card). It's running at 2x only with this card, but with GeForce2 cards it runs at 4x. I tried different versions of nVIDIA drivers and updating the BIOS to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Okay, this is starting to suck, my new Mac Pro is acting up too. I have posted about crashing to another thread where NVChannel has problems and the screen freezes. And now I have this problem too. It's hard to get any new windows to appear (such as context lists, menu views or just normal application windows).
    And my log is full of this:

  • Upgrading the BIOS on an MSI x58 Pro

    My Mum's Cyberpower i7-920 machine with MSI x58 Pro motherboard periodically fails to boot with the error that there is no boot device.
    I figured out a few hacks/workarounds for this, but as it is my Mum's machine, and I'm not always around to help out, I need a better solution.
    I posted on the Cyberpower forums and they said: 'Upgrading to the latest BIOS can sometime cure niggly problems lke this on MSI boards.'
    As I have never needed to mess around much with the BIOS before, I would like to get some input here as to what people think of this suggestion. Also what is the latest version of the BIOS for the MSI x58 Pro? Any recommendations on the easiest way to do this?
    Thanks very much.

    Okay, in that case a BIOS Update is probably worth a shot.  As said before, >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and take the latest BIOS Version from this site:  http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1744  [v8.D].
