P4 1.7g /256/400/1.75v
Hey everybody.
I bought my neo 875P motherboard yesterday and installed it last night. I installed everything correctly. When i tried to boot, the monitor didnt get any input signal. The 4 leds where all green. I dunno how the 4 leds work. But as soon as I push the power button the four leds turn green and stay green but i dont get any Image. Why? anybody?
I have:
P4 1.7G / 256/400/1.75V ( i got it from my other DELL computer)
Geforce Mx400 (im pretty its a a AGP 4x)
1x 512MBRAM DDR 400 connected to the first DIMM slot.
What could be the problem?

My montior is workin perfeclty fine. I tested it on my moms PC.
For the p-4. I really hope your right. I was thinkg before even if the p-4 isnt supported by the motherboard, shoudlnt the mobo still boot(at least to the BIOS setup). I mean shouldnt the 4 leds still go through all the tests.. because if the processeor was the problem.. I think the D bracket leds should be red? what do you think REILLY875?
If not this is what im gonna: I really trust you REILLY875. I'll go to the store tomorow and tell them My 875P mobo doesnt work scince i bought it yesterday they will exchange it for a new one. On the way ill just get a new p-4. Damn this is gonna kill my budget.. Like i was rich. Took me a fortune to get this mobo. Im really disappointed. I thought msi could do better than this.
Thanks alot... i'd be really glad for more replies.

Hi, I'm Borislav Kiso from Yugoslavia and I have small problem with my mainboard "k7n2-vb". If it's a problem, i hope that you will tell me the answer. Mainboard permanently generate, with out any rules, bips. Even when I move my data from cd on hdd or when I play some game or install some programs.
- 2500 barton box
- k7n2-vb
- 2 x 256/400 kingstone
- rx 9550 td128
Configuration works with no other problems so i think that it's a small problem but I can't find any specification on net.
Best regards from SCG
Borislavhttp://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=K7N2-V
says it uses the nVIDIA® nForce2 400 Chipset
http://www.rojakpot.com/default.aspx?location=3&var1=30&var2=0
So, the only product that's actually new is the nForce2 400 which looks like a low-cost version of the Ultra 400 chipset. Unlike its feature-rich brother, the nForce2 400 offers only a single DDR controller and will not be able to support the MCP-T south bridge. However, it will still offer full support for the new 400MHz FSB, DDR400, up to 3GB of memory and AGP8X support. Not bad at all, especially IF NVIDIA sells it significantly cheaper than the Ultra 400 chipset.
so im pretty sure im right -
Poor SATA performance, Seagate 160 GB on Neo2-S ?
Hi there,
I changed my drive. The old one is WD 80GB JB series, and I got the 29000-30000 results in SiSoft Sandra 2004Cnet ed.
Now I have Seagate 160 SATA, I got the 22500 result in Sandra.
My board is MSI Neo2-S (6728-010)
865PE..op.sys. XP PRO,
Kingston 256/400 x 2 Dual Channel
What's wrong with it? Should I back my old drive ?
Is there any software/patch/driver to work fast more ?
Or SATA is better on in Raid0, if you using single drive SATA is a good choice or not ?
Is that the problem because of Intel ICH5 chipset, If I will use Neo2-FISR2 the performance or better or not?
Thank you.Thank you, that's good article. I got your point. But how can you explain The Seagate SATA 80GB disk got 30000 score on Epox8RDA3 ?
Actually if you look at the Sandra referance scores, you can see the SATA120 has approximately 29-30k scores ?
I just want to know ? Is the responsable for that ICH5 ?

CS6 Pshop - Loading brushes from CS5.5
I have brush selections in CS5.5 which are not in CS6. Do I simply "Load" them from CS5.5 or drag them into Brushes folder (6).
Will 5.5 brushes even function on 6? thanks
icfivesthanks. This worked. However one custom brush I created, as instructed in a Photoshop tutorial for making backgrounds, does not show in the 5.5 folder when I try to Load into 6 while in 6.
The other non-default brushes (flames), downloaded from a site, DID Load into 6.
Screen captures indicate brushes list in 5.5 & 6. You can see the custom flames brushes DID Load from 5.5 into 6 (first 3).
Also see them in screen capture 6 numbers 256 - 400 fourth column.
But the "Rec Brush" in 5.5 list doesn't even show up in 6 in order to Load it.
BTW what's the M Brushes (5.5 list)? Don't see that in 6.
thanks for ideas.... -

MSI 694DPRO with two processors
:help:Hi there.
I have a computer that uses a mainboard MSI 694DPRO(MS-6321), and supports Dual Intel Pentium III, I use
a processor Pentium III SL5FQ (1000/256/133/1.75V), and it's works very well.
I would like to install two processors on the mainboard. So, I bougth two processors Pentium III SL52R (1000/256/133/1.75V), same generation.
The old processor was removed, and I installed one new (only one), but after installation, the mainboard turn on but not works. The Led Diagnostic shows 0 1 0 0.
Then I removed the new processor, installed the old again, and the machine works normaly.
- Can someone help me ?
- Why this processors SL52R, althought has the same especification than other old, not works with the mainboard ?http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/cpu_support/cpu/spt_cpu_detail.php?UID=83

694D-Pro v1.0 and dual PIII 1GHz
Hi all.
I have a MSI 694D-Pro with 2 x PIII 1GHz that I have enormous problems with.
Both CPU's are marked as follows:
Intel 01 Costa Rica
1000/256/133/1.75V
3254A384-0651
PIII SL52R
The only difference is that where the first CPU has 3254A384-0651, the second has 3254A384-0653.
The motherboard works fine with one CPU, but refuses to boot with both.
I did a quick test where I used one of the 1GHz as first CPU and installed a PIII 800MHz as second, and after some failed attempts it actually booted, saying that both CPU's were running at 1GHz. However, I would naturally like to get the two 1GHz running together.
Can anyone verify that I should be able to use these CPU's, and if so, what I should do to make it work?Quote
...it actually booted, saying that both CPU's were running at 1GHz. However, I would naturally like to get the two 1GHz running together.
You can, with a little tweaking, force a 800MHz CPU to act as a 1GHz, but it is not recommended. I totally understand that I cant run one CPU at 1GHz and the other at 800MHz, but that was never my intention.
I used the 800MHz as merely a test, and surprisingly, it worked. That is one of the reasons Im so puzzled by this. The system actually managed to boot with a combination of CPU's that should not work, but with two CPU's perfectly suited for this purpose, it just refuses to even post!
PS.
Im sure the avatar in your post was meant as a friendly joke, but I do not appreciate to be called stupid. Especially not when it concerns computers, which happens to be my area of expertise. -
MSI P4MAM-L CPU change now blue screen (Win 2k)
I have a MSI P4MAM-L VIA chipset board with a P4 2.26 (512/533) processor.
I need the 2.26 chip for something else, so I swapped it for a P4 1.7 (256/400).
Now I get a blue screen just before the Win 2k logon screen but it reboots immediately before I can read the error.
Does this mean I need to reformat for it to support the old chip or is it likely that some hardware is damaged?
When I removed the heat sink / fan assembly, the CPU was stuck to it and came up with it despite trying to ease it up gently. Could this be the source of the problem and the socket is damaged?
Thanks.OK, here is what I've tried:
Cleared ESCD (worth a try)
Updating BIOS (1.1 ->> 1.2)
Reseating CPU / Memory
Changing back to 2.26 chip (works fine)
I've put the P4 1.7 in a Dell I have and I get a blue screen on that too. However this one doesn't reboot immediately and I can read the error.
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, although it doesn't say what caused it. It gives a bunch of memory addresses which I can post, but suspect they will not help in troubleshooting.
From what i've read, I understand that this is usually causes by a software problem.
It's seeming more and more likely that it is the processor that is faulty. Dammit. -
Please help, need to upgrade from 9.2.2 to osx 10.4 Tiger on imac g3 400 dv
Hello, I would greatly appreciate assistance to upgrade my operating system from 9.2.2 to osx 10.4.10. I have gotten the firmware upgrade installed to 4.1.9. Can anyone tell me what else I need to upgrade to have this computer able to install Tiger 10.4, on an imac g3 400 dv slot loading.....
Right now when I try to install the disc 10.4 using the option key at restart, it wont load the install disc. Any help would be appreciated , thank u in advance!!!!!!!Hi, thank u for responding, my harddrive is 10 gigs, and my memory ram is only 64 megs, I ordered 2 512 mg from 18004memory.com and it didnt work , the computer said there was a memory issue. So I returned the memory back to 18004 memory.com...... I will neve ruse them again , because on their website they stated its guranteed to work and is compliant with imac 400 dv. They stated they will send me another set from another manufacturer, but to return the memory first.....
I know I meet all the requirements for tiger , except for the ram which apple says I need 256 mg,
But I was referring to any firmaware upgrades or bios upgrades or any of those type of programming upgrades to ready it for tiger, I know I installed the 4.19, and went from os 9.0 to its current 9.22, I think that alone was 5 upgrades. I think I might be missing an upgrade or maybe not. I will run the utility u posted and thank u for that.....
Apple told me that I can installl tiger 10.4.10 on this computer.
The install discs I bought on ebay state imac MAC osx install disc one and there is and install disc 2, it says AHT VERSION 3A127, and dated as produced in the year 2007. it colored grey , but doesnt have the black X like someone else posted it should have
Oh and it does open the files in 9.22, it does mount, and it does have folders,
Thank u for ur help as I progress to ultimately saving this imac....
many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

HDD/RAM upgrade question - 400 mhz sawtooth
Hello!
My Sister has a Sawtooth G4 - Well, I believe it's a sawtooth anyway. I don't know for sure, so I'll post a bunch of specs:
It's a 400mhz model, early 2000. It shipped with a 10GB HDD, and 128 RAM. I believe it also has a 100 Mbps Ethernet. It has a DVI and VGA monitor video card, but i'm not sure the Video RAM level. It has an internal FW 400 port as well. The internal Airport card is shot - er, maybe the extension.
It has major issues with the system - and it seems to stem from a botched OS 9.2 install. It's running 9.1, but with trouble. For one, I can't open the extension manager. For two, it's slow, and acts funny.
Well, I thought i'd be nice, and try to get the G4 working for my Sister. It seems that it may require an Clean install of OS 9.0. Oh well, I can do that easily enough. However, before I go through all that trouble, I'm contemplating upgrading the hard drive (at least). With only 10GB, it's not very useful for iTunes, Photoshop, or our old OS 9 games - things she'd like to have.
I looked at the specs for the Mac at:
http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/g4saw.shtml
It takes an 3.5 inch Ultra ATA drive? I've seen those around - and a 60GB drive or so is becoming pretty cheap. (I've seen 80G for under $50) I just figured i'd ask if anyone has tips on what to buy, how to install it, and Particularly if I need any special adapters for the G4. It does have a slot for a second internal HDD. I've also heard that a fast, second internal HDD can overheat the computer - is this a common issue I should be worried about?
The same questions go for the RAM. I'd like to add at least an extra 128MB, but I'm not entirely sure what to get. The above site mentions that it uses PC100 SDRAM in DIMM mode? Hmmm... I'll have to look around.
Please excuse any silly questions, I'm just far more familiar with more current systems, and it's 1 AM
Thanks,
Dan
PS: It looks to have a slot for a floppy drive under the DVD-ROM drive. I have a bunch of files on our OLD PowerBook 5300 that i'd like to move - but I need a floppy drive. Our old external USB floppy drive is.... very dead. The external floppy drives i've seen at stores seem to be pretty expensive, but internal drives are still fairly cheap (some under $30). How hard would it be to find/buy/install a compatible floppy drive? What format would it need to be? If such an upgrade runs over the $40-50 that a new USB drive costs, it's not really worth it.
15" Powerbook G4 (May 2005 ed), iMac DV (9.2.2) Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1G Ram, 192 (iMac)Wow, thanks again!
I figured out that this is the AGP graphics Sawtooth - not the Yikes model. Where do these names come from?
As per upgrading to OS X - we have a G5 which she can use, and a XP box - which is down with the flu for the third (or fourth?) time. Therefore, the G4 will stay OS 9. She just wants to have a reliable machine that can play DVDs and music, and play some of our old OS 9 games. It's not intended to run any new programs, just the old ones that she can't run now. When I mentioned photoshop - it's a "Limited edition" of version 5.0 - and it's far, far, FAR more reliable on the G4 than on our 2-year-old XP box, despite the G4 running 9.1 with a wimpy 128 meg ram!
The main reason for upgrading the HDD was to make it more practical for games and MP3s - via iTunes 2! It won't play AAC, but it plays MP3s fine. She has at least 8 Gig of music - too much for a 10G drive! (Even half of it leaves precious little expansion room)
I'm watching for a "small" HDD - it seems that our local Fry's is no longer selling anything smaller than 100G - which was $100! Or perhaps they were just sold out at the time. I'll keep an eye out for another sale. In fact, asking my friend for an old drive is a good idea. They have parts from at least a dozen old windows and linux boxes floating around - so they likely have a drive or two. If it's a used HDD, loaded with Windows (probably 95-2000), will it confuse the system before re-formatting?
As per RAM:
I'm quite aware of the lack of RAM. However, I'll have to watch for sales! I'm not aware of any "Mom and Pop" stores close by, although that's a fantastic idea. A PC 133 128 MB card runs $40-50 at the local computer stores, but only $15 at OWC! Therefore, if I don't find suitable RAM locally, I'll order some. I wouldn't mind an extra 256 (or 512) for my iMac either.
Speaking of iMac - I've determined that it's the iMac DV Special ED from March 2000. (400mhz, originally 13 Gig Drive - now 60, 9.2.2) The question is whether or not it maxes out at 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM. One of the Apple support sites I found ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58007 ) said that the slot loading iMacs max out at 512. It makes no distinction between any slot loading iMac. However at http://www.lowendmac.com/imacs/dvse.shtml, it mentions that this model specifically can accept 1 gig of RAM. I'll assume that the Apple article is correct, but I'd love to get a full 650 MB if I can! (I'd love to add a 512 to the 128 I have now)
It's amazing, really - after 4 years of constant use, a hard drive motor failure (hence the 60G HDD), and a year and a half burried on a desk, the iMac is becoming more handy by the day. It's good at capturing the Video and audio from say, Halo, while my PB's too busy to run anything else (via S-Video and audio through our DV cam). It makes a great DVD player, an iTunes Jukebox, and game machine - most of my games are still OS 9. To top it off, it makes a great wireless base-station for my Nintendo DS at school, where there's no WiFi! With 30 gig of space left on the HDD, it has plenty of room for whatever I want to do with it. Guess you can "teach and old dog new tricks!'
Well, I guess this means my question is answered for now - once I find the things I need, i may have some more questions, Thanks again!

For the user who plan to buy HyperX PC3200/DDR 400
as the topic said, plse be aware of the HyperX Ram module
model name is
KHX 3200A 256/512MB
KHX 3200 256/512MB
the model name with an 'A' at the back will not perform at CL 2, unless you run it at DDR 333. even the Kingston website it say that the 3200A can run at CL 2, but it cant. because the ram got 2 Highest Cas Latency.
Highest CAS Latency 2.5 @ 200 MHz
2nd Highest CAS Latency 2.0 @ 166 MHz
the model name without an 'A' at the back will perform at CL 2. which is only have one Highest CAS Latency = 2.0 @ 200 MHz
so be aware of it when you plan to buy the memory module
P.S, i have try more than 5 pcs of the KHX 3200A in MSI 875 Neo motherboard, all is CL 2.5I've got 2x512MB of the Hyper-X "A" RAM
I agree with what PoRsChE has said above. I am also unable to run my RAM at cas-2 with RAM set to 400. Like many other people here, my cas is stuck and if I change it, it just reverts to 2.5 in the OS. This is true even if I try to go up to cas 3! I can't think of any reason why this is.
Strange though, if I set the RAM to 333, and crank the FSB to 250(which brings the RAM back to it's original 200Mhz(400DDR) I can run it at cas-2. This would be great except I'm not interested in running my CPU so far out of spec. so soon after buying it.
If anyone is able to run their HyperX3200 "A" RAM at cas 2 and 400DDR in 1:1, let me know how.
If anyone had trouble with being unable to change their cas latency and found a fix, let me know how. -
PO LONG TEXT of Length 400+ char
Hello ABAPers,
I have a case where i want to update the PO_Long_Text field in MM02. The Text Editor in the Po Long Text screen can take only 72 char per line and an internal tables variable to which I will import my actual long text of approx 400 char.Since a CHAR variable can take max of 256 chars only,I will have to break the Long text into 2 parts. How can I achieve this? Any idea/hint?
Regards,
Bhavin P ShahHello,
Unfortunately, there is no possibility to change the length to more than 60. This is because all interfaces are based on 60 characters and the storage on the database is 60. Please refer to the attached SAP notes :

OS 9 running very slow on 400 MHz G4 'Mystic'
I've posted this before, but may have accidentally done it under my other account (I made a second one a while ago when I forgot about my first one). However, the situation has changed [slightly] since then, so I'll just tell it like it is.
It's a 400 MHz G4, 128 MB RAM (512 MB virtual memory, Gigabit Ethernet/'Mystic' machine. It previously had 256 MB of RAM, but I decided to try it with just the original stick when it was performing even worse than it is now. As it turns out, it performed better with the one stick of it's original RAM, so I've kept it like that. My most frequented application is the 'iCab' browser.
So, here's my problem, it's just very, very slow. I wouldn't complain if it wasn't that bad, but it really is just that bad. Now, based on everything I've heard from other 'old Mac' users, OS 9 should be nice and fast and iCab shouldn't be much of an issue. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Almost any time I open a new page it takes around 10 seconds to open, and I almost always have to abort some Javascript to save time [so far, this hasn't kept any sites from working]. Even after choosing to abort, I have to wait longer for it to go through with it. Whenever it gets stuck in some Javascript (I doubt that many websites could have buggy Javascript, especially since I have to do it on Apple Discussions as well), the entire OS stops responding. The clock [which shows seconds] stops, I can't change tabs or applications, etc. The only reason I don't suspect that the entire OS crashed is because the arrow still moves. This happens with an app that gets caught up in doing something, but since I use iCab the most, that's the best app off of which I can base my experiences.
So, is it really supposed to work like this? It's so bad that it's lagging even as I type this, and I only have two other browser tabs open. I collapsed the window to look behind it for anything else and even doing that, it lagged. By the way, the only other thing open is a Finder window.Hi, videoCWK -
Also, what would be the consequences of not fixing it soon? Could the problem get worse?
Directory problems usually get worse over time, sometimes quickly. When that happens, if you're lucky the initial symptoms will be files or programs that fail to open; if you're not lucky, the OS will no longer work.
You should repair it before anything negative happens to the operation of the computer.
Could this be fixed with an OS 9 install disc?
Not exacctly. The only utility available for repair work on the CD is Disk First Aid. Although DFA is smart enough to diagnose such a problem, it does not have the ability to make repairs to the directory.
You could use such a disk to deep wipe (re-initialize and format) the hard drive. This is usually not a fun thing to do, since it fully erases the hard drive. You would first need to back up anything you do not want to lose (unless you already have current backups); deep wipe the drive; then re-install the OS and all programs you need, and copy needed files from their backup archive.
DiskWarrior is a very good utility to have on hand. The latest version of it that boots/runs under OS 9 is v. 2.1.1. It can usually fix this kind of directory damage with no loss of files, leaving your hard drive in the exact same configuration you've become used to.
Additional things you can do to improve the speed and responsiveness of OS 9 -
• In the Extensions Manager control panel, disable (uncheck) all extensions for services you do not use. Doing this will reduce the footprint of the OS - all active (checkmarked) extensions are loaded at startup, whether they are needed or not.
For example, if you do not use File Sharing you can disable all extensions related to that service. In case you're not familiar with Extensions Manager's features, you can set up new sets of extensions with names you give them; this allows reasonably rapid switching between sets. Note that a restart is required whenever you make changes to the active set, or change sets.
There is also an additional pane available at the bottom of its window - click the triangle next to "Show Item Information" and that pane will appear; then, whenever you clkick on the name of an item in the list, any additional info about it will be displayed there. This info can help you determine whether you need that item active or not.
• Don't go font crazy. Like extensions, all fonts in the Fonts folder are loaded at startup. Having a ton of fonts in there will slow down the OS.
• Since you have a relatively small amount of RAM in the machine, avoid bells and whistles type utilities, meaning those that affect the look and feel of the machine. These can include items such as BeHierarchic, DefaultFolder, PowerOn Utilities, and others. Though many of those are good and can be useful, they do add to the OS's burden on the CPU, and to RAM consumption.
• Avoid having a picture displayed on the desktop. Best is a single color, not even a pattern.
