Neo 2 865PE Setup Options-Opinions Wanted

Hi, I finally got my new PC set up and I have some setup questions I'd like to get some opinions on:
1) My Hard drive is an ATA133 from Maxtor. Is it better for me to use the IDE1 slot or the Promise IDE3 slot? If I use the IDE3 slot, I will be able to run all of my IDE using peripherals as masters and I wont have to slave anything.
2) Sound- Is the onboard sound better then a Creative Labs Soundblaster Live card?
3) Bios Settings....what are the best performance settings I should use considering the following hardware:
- MSI Neo 2 FISR 865PE Motherboar
- 2.6GHZ 800FSB P4 CPU
- two 256MB Giel 533MHZ PC4000 RAM (512MB total)
- Gainward Ti4200 G4 128 MB "golden sample" video card.
I read in Toms Hardware in this article that I should be able to Overclock the BUS  to 900 and perhaps 1000 with a setup like the one I have...the only major difference is that I got 512MB of RAM where in the article he uses 1000 MB of RAM.
http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030812/index.html
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

There'll be no difference of ATA100 and ATA133, the speed is not easy or almost impossible to be detected on daily usage.
 I'm pretty happy with my NEO2's onboard AC97' chip, it delivers good quality sound for average users like me, regardless in terms of gaming, musics or movies. Unless you want very high quality sound likewise DTS, THX or doing music ripping, then you may need a better sound card like Audigy 2.
Your setup is ok, but be very careful with your RAMs as the NEOs are not yet very stable at support RAMs of more than 400MHz in speed, during the setups, if you're encountering instabilities, I'll recommend you to lower your RAMs speed to 400MHz and lower all latencies and increase the RAMs Voltage to 2.7v, set AGP/PCI Freq to 67.01/33.50Mhz.
All the Best... :D!!!

  • Email setup options

    Please help friends. I recently purchased a BlackBerry Curve 8320 and when running the setup wizard I mistakenly selected the option 'I want to skip email setup' thinking that I could go back and do this at a later time. Now, I am unable to set up my personal email accounts as the option 'I want to create or add an email address' is missing in the wizard. The only option I have apart from skipping is 'I want to use a work email account...etc'. Also, I cannot find the setup internet email icon in the home screen menu. I need help urgently. Thanks.

    Both of you need to make sure you are subscribed to a BlackBerry Data Plan with your carrier. You must have that for the "personal email set" icon to appear. You need to call your carrier and get that Data Plan put on your account.

  • Don't Have Personal Email Setup Option

    When I go to to "Email Setup" in the "Setup Wizard" on my 8100 Pearl, I only have one email type option that says "I want to us a work email account with Blackerry Enterprise Server".   I don't get the option of selecting the "Blackberry Internet Service Email Options" which is the option I want so I can use my personal email Pop3 type email.

    Dear Sir,
    i've tried your solution but it didn't work for me .any other idea how to solve that error ?
    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.

  • If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then cancelled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do i go back and do that since now when i plug in my HD, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help?

    If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then canceled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do I go back and do that since now when I plug in my external hard drive, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help? I bought a MacBook Air, but decided to return it for the newest model, and I wanted to back it up so that I can then back it up on my new MacBook Air. I didn't understand the option to Inherit or start a new back up, and therefore selected the option to create a new backup. I believe I should have selected to Inherit backup history so that when i back it up on the new MackBook Air, it appears the same as the one I'm returning.... Is there anyway that i can re-select the option to Inherit backup history for time machine?

    Thanks for sharing this link.

  • DRAM wound too tight??????? Neo 865PE Board Advice needed

    RapidShare Account-ID: 14334524
    Password: QfYkRMdt
    First - My computer is normally rock solid with no problems.
    I turned my computer on today and it would not even boot to the BIOS.
    It was if there was no power going into it but then it started to boot for about 1 second
    then died. I tried again and the same thing kept happening.
    I opened it up, checked the Main Board, reseated the graphics card and power cables.
    This time it booted but before the bios kicked in it gave the following message:
    'DRAM is wound too tight'.
    I have not changed anything in the BIOS as I would not know what to change but
    it then booted to the BIOS and under the power settings it says the following:
    Dynamic Over Clocking       = Private
    Performance Mode            = Slow
    CPU Ratio Selection         = Locked
    DRAM Frequency              = Auto
    Spread Spectrum             = Disabled
    Adjust CPU Bus Clock(mhz)   = 200
    DDR Clock (mhz)             = 333
    Adjust AGP/PCI Clock (mhz)  = 66.66/33.33
    CPU VCORE Adjust            = No
    DDR Power Voltage           = 2.50v
    ?GP Power Voltage           = 1.50v
    If anyone can make any suggestions I would be most appreciative as I cannot
    afford to loose my computer or any data that is on it.
    I'm worried that the Main Board maybe failing or maybe the RAM or PSU?
    In case it matters this is what is in my system.
    MSI Neo 865PE Board
    AMIBIOS V3.31a
    2 matched pairs of Kingston HyperX RAM KHX2700K2/1G
    Intel P4 3Ghz CPU
    Intel ICH5R SSATA
    Port 1 = Crucial Solid State Drive (Main OS Drive)
    Port 2 = Lite-On SATA CD-RW
    IDE Port 1 = 300GB Samsung HD
    Promise SATA
    Port 1 = WD Caviar Green 1.5TB HD
    Port 2 = WD Raptor 150GB HD
    IDE Port = Sony CD-RW
    Power Supply = Q-Tec 550 Watt Dual Fan Gold
    USB Mouse/Keyboard
    All housed in a 19" Rack Mount Server case.
    Thanks in advance.

    thanks for the replys everyone.
    I take it then that my problem is the PSU?
    I am shocked that you rate the Q-Tec one so badly, it is the one that was supplied
    with my computer and has worked with out a problem for about 3 years or so now.
    I cant take a chance with it so its going in the bin.
    Having done some checking I have located a trusted stockest who has
    Corsair VX 550W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-550VXUK) [CMPSU-550VXUK]
    or
    Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK) [CMPSU-650TXUK]
    for just ubder £80 in the UK.
    Are either of these any good and is one better for me than the other considering what
    main board I have. Also the new CPU has got to fit in my computer case so its physical size must match the old one.
    I am not a modder so this is all a bit alien to me so any tips or hints much appreciated.
    Thanks again

  • I would like to change the project page layouts, but setup option in Project Superuser are not available. How can I change the selected page layouts?

    Hi
    I updated the page layouts for a project in Project Management. Now I woujld like to change those chosen page layouts, but the setup options for the project are no longer available for me to change. How can I update the original chosen page layouts (for performance management) to different layouts or change the chosen layouts to the default (blank) layouts?
    Thanks

    AppleMan,
    It all began inside the settings of my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A when somehow the selection got switched from 1280 x 720 to that other setting with so-called 25fps. Also, I don't know whether the mishap occurred before or after I took my new footage.
    I edited the clips last night and now they are on my blog and channel and they seem ok but slightly fuzzy.
    I used a Sanyo VPC-HD2000A .7x wide angle lens with macro and I notice that when I zoomed in to the little sun conure, the picture blurred. I think that might be something that happens when one zooms the focus.
    Also, I was born and raised to a teenager in Hawaii, but now Southern California has me in its grip.

    Hello Carney10,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When you say you do not have the setup option for Family Sharing, that seems like you log into the iCloud System Preference but the "Set Up Family" button is not there.
    Is your Mac updated to Yosemite?
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality.
    Where in the setup are the options not available or working?

    My reference monitor seems to be missing the setup option also it is displaying in a format I do not understand.

    I'm based in th UK and working with PAL mini DV. I imported the footage in and then created the sequences using a clip, so the sequence settings should be correct and having checked them, it seems they are. Admittedly, I've never used this function before and this: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/devis_andrew/YC-Waveform-graph-Premiere-Pro/video- tutorial is my frame of reference.

  • 875P Neo-LSR Setup problems

    I posted this message last night but I think it got lost in space.
    My System
    MSI 875P Neo LSR
    Intel 2.4C with H/T
    2 X 512 Infineon memory sticks
    Enermax 350W P/S
    ATI AIW 8500DV
    Seagate S ATA 120 H/D Partition with 85/35 partitions on SER1
    Western Digital P ATA 80 H/D on IDE 1
    LG 52 X CD ROM on IDE 2 primary
    LG DVD/CDRW Combo IDE 2 slave
    19 Samsung Syncmaster
    I am having problems with my new 875P LSR.  Installed O/S and software using FAT 32 and it wiped on 2 occasions.  Could not boot up trying all the sugestions on the web. Using Partition MAgic rescue disk I could still see the drives and was able to check for errors but when I used my old 98 boot disk C: came up with a message of invalid media but D: was still readable?  During both  the previous setups I used the F6 option and loaded the Intel raid XP driver for ICHR, was this the reason for my loss of system.
    On my third try I used the same partitions but did not use the F6 option and also formatted in NFTS (by accident).  Everything appeard to be working so far BUT!!!!!.  I don't want the system to do over clocking I just want a secure setup for stability in normal use. I do not play games, I use the inter4net, edit my home movies and normal word processing,
    Questions
    What am I doing wrong?
    What should the cofigreration for the bios onboard ID chip be. I have Mine set in Native mode, P ATA + S ATA, NO, NO, Both, S ATA 1st channel, S ATA PO1 PO2 Raid NO
    Do I need to use the Intel IAA driver -or- does XP have drivers -or- do I have to download some other driver or controler for the S ATA.
    Can anyone suggest a better layout for my system and how can I tel if the computer is operating with the proper drivers for S ATA, P ATA, H/T and all the other gagets on board.  Any suggestions and advise will be appreciated

    Hi back
    Thanks again for the response, followed your instructions now I show a 82801eb under the controler section.  Is that all I needed?  Another question I like to keep a copy of windows 98 se on my other drive and would like to use the F11 key to boot to it.  Is there a procedure of installing it so I don't screw up my XP system.  I use a disk tray to keep the drive in so I can take it out for safety as I also store backups of my personel files on it.  Your sugestions are really appreciated.   Swan705

  • Crystal 2008 - New Page Setup options - need explanation please

    I have been unable to locate documentation on the new Page Setup screen for Crystal 2008.  I am specifically looking on detailed documentation about the following check boxes:
    Printer Options:
         No Printer
    Page Options section:
         Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size
    Margins section:
         Adjust Automatically.
    Can someone please detail for me these options.  I'd like to know why I would use them and how do they work when combinations of them are selected.  I am most interested in the second option (above), but would like explanations about all of them.
    Thank you.

    I do not think the No Printer option is valid for us as our reports are not web based.
    Does the Adjust Automatically apply to the reports as they are run from a runtime client?  or does this just adjust for design mode?
    This is why I am asking about the 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size'.  It sounds like this is the setting we may want to check when creating our reports before we distribute to runtime clients.
    Here is why I want to know.
    We develop our reports to fit 8.5 inch x 11 inch paper.  We distribute our reports to our clients along with the runtime merge modules.  We have a VB.Net 2005 program that our non-vb.net software application executes in order to print the reports (using the Crystal for .NET methods, etc.) from our software application.
    Some of our clients are in Europe.  They use A4 paper.  We have re-designed some of our reports so the fields will fit within both paper sizes (8.5x11 and A4).  However, we have over 500 reports we distribute, so we have not modified all reports.  Therefore, prior to Crystal XI, we recommended to our runtime users that if the data on the report did not fit on the A4 paper (it was truncated), then they need to go into the printer properties (from the printer dialog box...these are users running the report, not developers) and change the report from portrait to landscape before they print.  This would print the report landscape with data across 8.5", and then white space on the right/remainder of the page, but all the data would print, nothing truncated.  After we installed Crystal XI, using this option of selecting landscape at print time, no longer worked.  The report would print with the orientation in which it was created (in our case portrait) regardless of what the user selected from printer properties. 
    This is why I am asking about the 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size'.  Can someone at SAP elaborate on this please?

  • Window setup option on the boot menu after fixing Blue Screen Errors

    Hello Everyone, this is my firs t request.
    I spent two days fixing the Blue Screen Errors (BSoD) on my computer but one thing keeps bothering me is that everytime I start or reboot my computer, it gives me TWO OPTIONS; 1. windows xp home edition 2.windows setup (default). I want to disable the second option. I had attempted to re-install windows but later changed my mind, and found an alternative to fix the Blue Screen Errors. I believe the reason Blue Screen Errors (BSoD) showed up was that I had created a new user profile and copied over old user profile files so improperly that it duplicated drivers, and gave me a list of STOP errors with blue screens for both new and old users. 
    The bootini file currently shows:

    [Operating Systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
    Does anyone know what to edit for the bootini file so that I don't get two options at the startup??? My system details are:

  • Photoshop Script - save as PDF, how to programmatically use "Use proof setup" option

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a jsx script for Photoshop CC that will automaitically convert the given file to PDF format. The requirement is that the PDF must be saved using two options available on "Save as" dialog:
    - Use proof Setup: Working CMYK
    - ICC Profile: U. S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    (screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/hnnVejK5)
    I couldn't find any examples on the Internet. I experimented a bit and created the following script, it saves the pdf, but it does not seem to use the mentioned options.
    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO
    var fileRef = File("C:\\test\\7000_tif_colors.tif")
    var docRef = app.open(fileRef)
