PCI-X support

Is PCI-X 1.0 or later, support available in Solaris OS-SPARC?
Also how about its Intel version? Pl. let me know

I think vanilla PCI is 33 MHz. 66 MHz is a PCI-X rate. Anyway, step is to talk to the motherboard manufacturer and make sure you are doing everything necessary to allow a 32-bit 33MHz PCI device to work in one of the PCI-X slots. If that doesn't work, the next step to talk to Creative. I doubt anyone here has any experience with this.
Also, I KNOW that the PCI slot is stuck between the two PCIe x6 slots. All I'm saying is that something is not right (ie. Tyan screwed up) if you can't use all 3 slots at once. I don't have any experience with SLI. Is there a rigid connector between the 2 cards that doesn't fit if there is a 3rd card in between. If it is, I'm suprised that a dual-slot solution where the 2 slots aren't adjacent is even conforms to the required spec. Is the problem that your heatsinks are too big? Exactly WHY does it become unusable, and how could Tyan possibily think that such a restriction is reasonable?

Bios "pcie 3 support" setting is not working?

Hi All,
When I dissable pcie 3 support in bios, it does not seem to turn it off.
I just got this mobo (z77 mpower) with a 3770k and I am having issues with my two Gigabyte 670 in sli (they seems to run fine not in sli). These same cards were fine in my other computer which is a Z68 mobo and 2600k.
I did some reading on a number of forums and there seems to be an issue with many of the Gigabyte 670 cards runing on pcie 3.0. A known fix is to turn off pcie 3.0 in the mobo bios and have them run in pcie 2.0. This sounds right since I was not having any issues on my z68/2600k pcie 2.0 setup. The crappy thing is if you have a mobo that does not have the option to turn of pcie 3 support in the bios... you are screwed and stuck with having ussues.
So my problem is... when is dissable PCIe 3.0 support in the z77 mpower bios and in win7, it still shows that my cards are running in pcie 3.0, I have checked in two places both nvidia ctrl panel and also in gpuz and I continue to have the problems with the cards. When I go back into the bios to double check afterwards, it still shows as off.
Has anyone dissabled the pcie 3 support in bios and can confirm that it does infact actually turns it off and makes the the slots pcie 2.0? Any help would be appreciated as I need to somehow make these cards run in pcie 2.0 and not 3.0
Thanks,

What issues are you talking of?
Issues I am having are only happening is sli. I know its not a PCIe slot on the mobo, I ran a single card in each slot without issues. I also know that these two same cards ran in sli for the past 8 months without any issues on my Z68 board, this only started when I put them into the Z77.
Weird thing is, lets say I put card A in top slot and card B into the other slot.... I get random slowdowns , not only in games but also when browsing and even just looking at the desktop. The computer would freeze up (not freeze completely just everything would become bogged down for up to myb 10 seconds.. then gone for two or three then same freezing again again. Benchmarks like 3dmark11 results would be randowm, I ran 5 tests consecutively and they all ranged from 4000 - 14500 (14500 is what the system should be getting)
Now if I switch the cards and put card B into slot A and card A in the other, those same slowdowns and freezes now become complete system lockups... bsod and or video driver crashes (nvidia kerner stops respondong)
I know its not a driver, bio or software issues. I am having same symptoms under old and new bios on both mobo and vod cards. Also tryed many different versions of vod drivers. I have also dissabled on board sound, wifi and bluetooth to rule those out.

Not sure if this might be your issues...Would like to know some of your symptoms. But I have a post here on Ix boards. I was having a slight issue with my driver crashing, and not running great in SLI. Not a blue screen or anything like that. I really thought my video cards were defective. Come to find out. I had one stick of ram that was making all the issues happen. My symptoms.... Every-time I ran my cards in sli..it would cause a stop driver error in Nvidia control panel. If I ran the cards without sli or by themselves. no errors. One of the guys here suggested taking ram out and using only the second and 4th dimm. I took out 2 sticks of ram and it cleared right away. Found out that one of the sticks I took out was bad...Not bad enough to stop working..But just enough to cause these issues. Just a thought or a suggestion-check your ram? I would have never thought the ram was causing my problems..
Not sure if I am speaking out of place..But I only own the z77a-gd65...I have owned other z77a boards too. I have only tried to disable the pci-e 3.0 on this board with no issues. Hope you figure it out. Would like to know what is causing your issues. I plan on purchasing this same board in the future.
Thanks for the feedback fulwinder, I thought the same at first and tryed another manufacturers ram and the results did not change:(

Will SB PCI 128 Support CDRW and DVDRW Earphone Listeni

Hey Gang,
I was able to listen to my headphones privately on my CDROM. The jack was located on the front of the device just below the cdrom turntable.
My soundcard has been my SB PCI 28. My problem is that since I got rid of the old cdrom and upgraded to a DVDRW and a CDRW I haven't been able to listen to my headphones/earphones anymore.
Does my SB PCI 28 earphone support earphone/headphone listening on a DVDRW or CDRW, or is is STRICTLY FOR CDROM's?
Do I have to download new drivers, reset a jumper or get a new card?
I've tried pluggin the audio cord from the cd/dvd to each one of the three rectangular input jacks on the sb pci 28 and no joy.
Thanks,
HULK

Make sure you disable Digital Playback for the DVD-ROM.....in device manager and the software you are using for example WMP.....

When is PCI-6704 supported by NI-DAQmx?

As of NI-DAQmx 7.3, this analog output card is only supported by Traditional NI-DAQ. This is basically a question for NI, but if you know feel free to answer!
Thanks,

Hello David,
There are no plans at this time to support PCI-6704 in DAQmx.

Can PCI-6023E support hardware Analog trigger

I try to use the PCI-6023E to do the hardware analog triggering, but it gives me the Error-10403 while I test with the vi example, Aiacquires N Scans Analog Hardware Trig.vi. Is there any way for this board to do the hardware triggering?

Jack,
The PCI-6023E DAQ board only supports digital triggering. You can check all the features of this board in the Data Sheet and Specifications on the Catalog page (see link below)
2002 Catalog - PCI-6023E
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1063〈=US
If you need to perform analog triggering, you have three options:
1) You can simulate it by acquiring continuosly all the signals that you want to monitor including the one that acts as the analog trigger. Compare the value read from this last one with the boundary that is supposed to trigger the acquisition, and when the value read reaches this boundary, you can save or display the data from all your channels.
2) You could implement an external circuit that will compare the analog trigger signa
l with the boundary value, and when they coincide, will generate a digital pulse that you can use as a digital trigger. This option optimizes your CPU usage.
You can find detail information on how to set up the digital trigger in Chapter 4>>Timing Connections of the User Manual linked below.
6023E/6024E/6025E User Manual
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/0C88F40FFE7F28CD862569AE00574AC1?OpenDocument&node=132100_US
3) Finally, you could get one of our boards that supports analog triggering. The PCI-MIO-16E-4 board has similar specifications that the PCI-6023E, and it has some additional features as well. See link below for more information.

Do 875p neo's 32-bit PCI slots,support 66Mhz speed?

I have the 875p neo motherboard and I would like to knlow if the PCI slots on this motherboard support 66Mhz speed or just the basic 32bit/33Mhz.
Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks guys.I knew about the server motherboards but I was hoping that modern mobos like the 875p neo would have such a feature as 66 Mhz.
Guess I was wrong!!!

PCI cards supported by dasylab?

G'day all.
The company im working for is considering purchasing dasylab V9 (latest version) and I am wondering if anyone has a list of PCI boards (in particular vibration) supported by this software. thanks in advance

You'll find the best list at www.dasylab.com -- click on Drivers to
view the actively supported drivers, as well as driver series that
work, but may not have active ongoing development and support.
There may be other vendors with DASYLab support.
There are many factors associated with purchasing a board for vibration
measurement. What are the characteristics of the signal that you need
to collect, what sensors will you be using, what signal conditioning /
filtering do you need? Some boards come with a direct signal connection
for accelerometers, and have filtering and other signal conditioning.
Others, you need to purchase a separate signal conditioning
solution....

Fuzzy GM965 - PCI riser support

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody had any experience of using PCI risers with the Fuzzy GM965 board. Specifically, which type of risers have been found to work - the case I have has one designed to work with the original VIA mini-ITX boards (identified by having a jumper to select the ID for the second slot). This type, I'm assuming, is not supported by the GM965 as I get "PCI Routing table error" during POST whenever there's a card in the second slot.
Can anybody point me to a riser they know works?
MSI support have, perhaps understandably, simply indicated that some risers work and some don't as they don't make one themselves.
This appears similar to the riser I'm trying:

Quote from: Henry on 28-January-10, 04:51:28
Do you need a one into two slot riser?
Yes, I'm trying to see if anybody knows which type of two slot riser is known to work with the GM965.
When they produced the original mini-itx boards VIA coded their BIOS to support a particular design of active riser which is what most of the risers which come with itx cases support. Some other manfacturers followed VIA in this and also designed their boards to work with these risers.
There's also a basic passive riser type which simply connects the pins of the two slots together (so the two cards are electrically connected directly into the motherboard socket).
There also appears to be a different sort of active riser which purports to provide greater compatibility and performance (than what is never made clear).
If a passive riser is what's required then I'll need to change my case (as it requires a flexible riser, and I can only find fixed two slot passive risers). If somebody is successfully using a "VIA" riser with a GM965, then I'll have to try to work out why it's not working for me.

Is there any SATA PCI card support G5?

since there is only 2 HDD bay inside the G5, and all of theres are full already, i'm planning to get 2 more HDD, can i just add a SATA PCI card, then simply just plug 2 more HDD with the PCI Card?

Also, you might want to look into port-multiplier solutions.
I have a PCI-X G5, so you may have different options, but I started out with a Firmtek Seritek 1VE4, with 4 external SATA connections. I have now exhausted those 4 connections, so I replaced it with a Lycom eSATA 4-port which supports multiplication (5 drives per port, for total of 20 drives)
MacGurus is very knowledgeable about the SATA expansion options for all desktop Macs.
You can get single-drive chassis, which often have eSATA, Firewire and/or USB ports, or go for a 4- or 5-tray enclosure, which often let you hotswap drives in and out.

Dose PCI-6221 support NI-Traditioanl DAQ?

When I installed the PCI-6221 (M serials) multifunction card by the MAX, I found it only existed in the DAQmx group but nothing in the traditional NI-DAQ group. How can I use the traditional NI-DAQ Api with this card?

Hello,
I recommend you to use NI-DAQmx because it's much easier to program your board.
You can download Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VIs from our website. The Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VIs allow you to run LabVIEW applications written in Traditional NI-DAQ on devices that are only supported by NI-DAQmx. There are some functionality restrictions and you must have LV 7.0 or later. Please read the description carefully.

Does Satellite A100-812 (PSAAR) PCI slot supports MXM standard

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-812 at the moment and I was wondering if the PCI-e slot matches 1 of the mxm standarts.
And if so, could it be replaced with another graphics card, say an 8600M GT?

Hi Marien
The Satellite A100 does not support the MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module) interface and the graphic card replacement or upgrade is definitely not possible!!!
The graphic card is fixed and soldered on the board and you cannot remove it!
If you want you could use the forum advanced search option and could search for similar threads regarding this theme.
But I assume you will find always the same info which is; GPU upgrade is not possible
Best regards and have a nice day!!

X-Fi XtremeMusic - 100Mhz or 133Mhz PCI-X support with nForce Pro chips

I have a Tyan k8we motherboard which makes use of a nForce4 chipset and I know there are issue with it and the X-Fi XtremeMusic cards.
However my question is this will the X-Fi work in 00 & 33 PCI-X slots? The reason I ask is that the Tyan k8we has two 6-bit PCI-e slots with a standard 32-bit PCI in between them, which makes it impossible to install anything in that 32-bit slot if you run in SLi mode.
I only have 00 and 33 PCI-X slots left that I can use on my motherboard. Both of which do not seem to work properly with the X-Fi XtremeMusic card (when I plug in the X-Fi, my onboard network cards stop working).
So I need to know what my options are if this X-Fi card will not work.
- Is there something I missed during the installation?
- Do I obtain a firmware or an update for the X-Fi card?
- Swap the card for one that does work?
- Return the card and get the Pro version (which I have heard works for some strange reason)?
- Or return the card and get my money back?
This card is only a day old so I would like to act on the store's return policy if CL Support cannot help me anytime soon.
Thanks very much

PCI-Express support

In the new iMac's would this mean an upgradable graphics card or not?
stupid spec's raise so many questions

All the components are on the midplane so there is no way to upgrade anything that is on it.
You can add RAM, change hard drives, even change optical drives, but AE, BT, video and sound chipsets are all integrated, non-removable, and non-upgradeable.

Does the MSI Z68-G43 G3 support 8/8 PCIe 2.0 lanes (for SLI/CF)

Hello,
The MSI webpage states
Quote
• 1 PCI Express gen3 x16 slot, 1 PCI Express gen2 x16 slot
• 2 PCI Express gen2 x1 slots
• 3 PCI slots, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface
for the MSI Z68-G43 G3. It doesn't say whether the board can run the 16 PCIE 2.0 Lanes in 8/8 configuration. My current (Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3) board can only do 16/4, so I am considerung moving to this board for Crossfire. Does anyone know if 8/8 2.0 is possible with this board and a Sandy Bridge CPU?
Regards
chris

Quote from: RemusM on 27-September-14, 04:52:45
SLI is not possible on this board.
The PCI-E 2.0 slot is equipped with only 4 lanes.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68AG43_G3.html#hero-specification
PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (1x16), Gen2 (1x4)
Thanks for the help, Remus!
I am now looking to get a Z77A-GD55 instead. It is specified as PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (16, 16), Gen2(4) so it should be fine (Sandy Bridge only reduces it to Gen2 (16, 16) instead of Gen3 (16, 16), right?).
They are somewhat hard to find, though, unlike the Z68A-GD65-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8) and Z68A-GD80-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8), Gen2 (1x4) . So I'll see what I can get.

I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

PCI-X support
