Pentium D 945 Processor compatibility with MB 955X Platinum MS-7158

Hi everybody.
I’ve bought a new processor (Pentium D 945 3.4 GHz) to my MS-7158 955X Platinum. But I’m not sure about use it in my board. I’ve checked on the global MSI site: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=188&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no= but they only say’s “under testing”.
Can anyone help me If can I use this without problems, what would be happen If I install this processor? Any possible damage will occur?
Thanks a lot!...

probably will work.

Intel Pentium D 9xx series Compatibility with MSI 955x?

Hi All,
I just wanted to get some feedback from others who may be running an Intel Pentium D 9xx series processor on a MSI 955x board. What processor are you running and have you had any compatiblity problems, strange quirks, etc?
I found this link as well but wanted to get some real world opinions!

Thanks!!

They are compatible and won't have any issues.

Need Help with Processor Compatability

Good afternoon!
I am currently having issues with the installation of a new processor into my HP p7-1209. I am upgrading from an i3-2120 to an i7-2600k. After the processor is installed, as the system boots up, an error message appears.
"Incompatble CPU installed, the system will shut down shortly"
Everything that i have found, has pointed to the i7-2600k being compatable with my motherboard. This link to the HP product page also indicates that i am able to use this processor.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03369735&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N174
The PC specs are identical to this page with the exception of a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card being installed.
I would really prefer to get this processor to work, so purchasing a new MoBo is an option, but i still believe that I can get this to work.
My only guess, is that the BIOS may be out of date, but unfortunately the only update that I can find is ONLY for Windows 8, as opposed to Windows 7.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time!

Thanks for the information. I could not find 7.12 for download. I would suggest you try installing 8.19 from the following weblink:

What Superdrive (external USB) is compatable with Mountain Lion 10.8.3?

What Superdrive (external USB) is compatable with Mountain Lion 10.8.3?
My New install of 10.8.3, will now.... not reconize anything I put in my drive... it spits it back out!
Superdrive does NOT reconize any activity.
It will show my information on/of my drive...but, that is about it...
Is there a patch/fix for this issue with 10.8.3?
If not...why is Apple (seemingly) ignoring this issue? There are so many with the same complaint.
They want $19 to answer this question...why? I just bought the upgrade to 10.8.3 a couple of days ago.
Anyone have any suggestion, beside switching BACK to Microsoft...?

Sorry about the serial number...wasn't thinking. Mentally noted.
I would think it to not be too much, to ask for it to be able to read/write to the listed capablities list with the product (superdrive). The different media type...
I insert blank -R DVD, -R CD, ...anything I put in,it spits it out. NOTE: The ONLY thing I've been able to get it to read, is some old CD's that I had some mp3 files on...it would read that OK... but if I try a DVD read or write and write a CD...NOTHING!
This worked fine before upgrading to 10.8.3   was at 10.7.5....
Any help would be much appreciated.

Is itunes compatable with windows 8

I just purchased a new PC with Windows 8. Is itunes compatable with it?

No.
It may or may not install and run but Windows 8 is not yet officially supported.
iTunes 11 hould be released any day now.
iTunes 10.7
"Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7
64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer

Yosemite compatibility with microsoft word 2008

I had held off on upgrading to Mavericks because of the issues surrounding the compatibility with Microsoft Word 2008. I am a student and need to use Word to do my work as well as having all of my current documents, including my thesis, in 2008 format. I don't want to risk losing the information or the ability to do my work and I was wondering if there is any information about whether the issue of compatibility with this version had been fixed. I don't have the means to buy a new version of Microsoft but would very much like to be able to update my system since I am still using Mountain Lion.

There has been a better and free alternative to old versions of MS Word and MS Office since forever. Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 is the latest version of a free and complete All-In-One document processor, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation, database, & formula software, found here: http://www.openoffice.org
It also reads, writes and translates MS Word, saves in many formats, and is pretty easy to use. It's entirely modern and compatible with all the latest Mac operating systems. Good luck.

SATA11 is it compatable with all controller cards

I want to add 500gb HD's to my G4 Giga and know I need a SATA controller card, I am considering this one card pic is this card compatable with SATA11 hard drives?

Thanks Japamac, can I go through this deadhead style...
You can install as many OS's as you want. When you
set your Startup Disk Preferences, you are able to
select the OS that you want, as well as the disk that
you want.
Does this mean I have to make a partion thing on the same disk for each (even the same) OS?
Do I use the original install disks to do this?
Another way to select startup disk/OS, is to boot
while holding the Option key. This will open the
Startup Manager, and allow you to select which and
where you want to boot from.
This is the screen I remember from my Apple Care Plan Help Desk days
It is a good idea to have a second (and third)
bootable disk in your system.
Is the third disk on a partion thing ( I have researched this and have found, using "disk utility" I can make "partitions", if I understand correctly, my machine will "see" a partition as a separate disk, am I miles off?
That way, heaven
forbid, should one disk have trouble booting, you can
use the Startup Manager to select an alternate disk,
and then diagnose and repair the ailing disk from
there.
Do I use "disk utility" from another partition disk to do this?
This is, actually, a very important thing to
have in your system. by all means, install the OS on
the other disk.
A partition on the 120gb, how big should the partition be?
Remember, to keep both disks backed up. So, don't
give up on your external drives all together. They
are VERY useful.
This is where you are going to hate me... I dont have any externals or back ups.... this is why I am trying to work out what to do... I back up my photo's to DVD when I have enough, its not good practice because it can take a months worth before I have time to physically go through all the work to decide what I will archive to DVD, I would love for all of the work to automatically copy itself to a safe place.
While we are on the subject, a very good way to
backup, is to use Super Duper. This is a clone
utility. SD will copy bit for bit, your drive, and
then make that backup bootable. This is a very nice
feature. Also, after that, you can use the Smart
Update feature, which updates any changes of a volume
to it's clone. This way, you always have an exact
copy of your system and data. Invaluable!
This is obviously what I need... I will download it and try to understand its functions
I like OWC, myself. Even with shipping and tariffs to
Japan, it is most often cheaper to do so. Also, the
company is very reputable, has great service (try
their live chat) and stands behind what they sell.
OWC also has lots of install tutorial video (and
PDF's) in their support section. Check it
out.
I have trusted OWC since you recommended them for my processor upgrade and have just ordered the SATA controller from them and am going to get a 500gb internal HD for now until I can learn to rationalise my disk space... at the moment my files are just copies of themselves on the same disk (120gb)
Hey Japamac... I have to say thank you to you sir, you have obviously put a lot of time and effort into your reply and I really do appreciate it...

Logic Pro X compatibility with mbox 2 mini and 2009 core duo macbook

I currently have Pro Tools LE 8.0.3 and an Mbox2 Mini, both of which amazingly still work on Mountain Lion 10.8.4. I'm interested in learning Logic and am trying to confirm compatitility with the Mbox2 Mini on a first generation core duo Aluminum Macbook (2.4 Ghz) running 4gb of RAM. The system requirements just say 10.8.4 or later with a 64 bit processor. The Macbook runs fine, and I primarily just record stereo piano tracks, so it's not like I'm going to have 16 tracks running on it. Anyone using an Mbox2 Mini, and any issues with the hardware?

It's not an external device's compatibility with LPX that matters...
It's your external hardware's compatibility with whatever OS X version you are using to run LPX in.... that is important.
Im guessing you upgraded OS X about the same time you switched to LPX?
So....
Make sure you have installed the drivers and software from this page....
http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/quartet#tab-id-1
Failing that, contact Apogee support for further assistance
http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/contact-support
Note: Why is it showing Duet and not Quartet briefly? Are you sure you installed the correct drivers or did you, at one time have a Duet?
Additional: You might want to try this.. though I doubt it will fix things... but this can cure all kinds of weird issues...
Delete both the main plist and the CS file...
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Logic Pro
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Restart the computer.
Note: if you cannot find either of these files you didn't follow the instructions exactly as described

Is PE7 compatable with windows 7 64bit?

are there any versions of Adobe Premiere Elements besides PE8 that are compatable with Windows 7 64bit? I have heard of lots of problems with PE8 and I would prefer using PE7 if possible. Actually I use PE3 with XP home 32 bit and love and don't really want to upgrade but it seems like i might have to. thanks

i downloaded the PE8 trial and have worked with it for a couple of hours and had only one glitch so far. while capturing it froze after about 10 minutes, i had to capture the rest and splice it in. i added some titles and a 2nd audio track that was mono and used audio effects to copy left track to right track, i faded in video and audio and so far everything seems to be working fine.
i have an intel MB D975XBX2
dual core processor,
4 gigs of RAM
win7 pro 64bit
it's taking a little getting used to but probably not as hard as trying to learn a whole other program like sony studio for example. i've got 30 days and i'll keep using it and see how it goes but so far, so good.

Processor compatability

Hi, we are lenovo fanatics, we have 4 different lenovo's - an IBM Lenovo r60 2.0 dual core, a Lenovo r61 15.4 wide screen 1.8 800 MHZ FSB 2m cache dual core, a Lenovo V-200 1.8 dual core, and a T61 14" screen 2.2ghz 800mhz fsb 4m cache dual core- My question(s) is this:
Are the processors in my R61 and T61 compatable?
Will the bios be compatable with the processors?
I know its probably foolish on my part because all of our lenovo's are very excellent machines, however I love the big 15.4" view of the R61 yet the t61's cpu power is far superior and I am hoping I can get the best of both worlds!
Please if anyone has the answer or any information pertaining to their compatability respond with haste, Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and a special thank you to any and all who send a response

R61 and T61 uses the same processors, and depending on the FRU or version of the motherboard they also can be compatible with the T8xxx and T9xxx CPU.
Standard R61 and T61 both uses the Socket P version of the T5xxx and T7xxx CPU.
R60 CPU use the Socket M, so they are not compatible with R61/T6.
But make sure download CPU-Z and report back on what CPU you have.
Your R61 should be a T7100 and the T61 is the T7500.
But you will void your warranty by doing this swap.
If you want to go through with this follow these two guides.

BT Infinity and laptop processor compatability

I have just ordered BT Infinity to be installed in October 2012.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite with an Intel Pentium Dual Core !.60 GHz processor. The laptop utilises Vista Home Edition with Service Pack 2. The RAM memory is 2 GB and have installed a 'n' type USB wireless adapter.
The BT Home Hub 3, hopefully, will be using 'n' type wireless network.
The BT Infinity installataion web page calls for the processor to have a minimium specification of 2 GHz.
Will my existing laptop with an Intel Pentium Dual Core !.60 GHz processor work with BT Infinity using 'n' type wireless network?
BT Infinity Help Desk could not confirm that it will work, so any advise would be welcome.

That only refers to all of the extra BT software, which you do not need anyway, as it will work without it.
Just enter the wireless key into your laptop, and it should be fine.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

945P Platinum and Pentium D 945

Did anyone try Intel Pentium D 945 CPU on the 945P Platinum motherboard? Does it work with bios 1.6?

Quote from: Maesus on 09-March-07, 19:50:58
oh well, there is no good reason why D 945 is not supported by 945P. Just make sure you have the latest BIOS.
Once I've seen OK on the CPU Support Page for the Pentium D 915.. Maesus do you think I should try? ???

Cluster Processor Compatibility.

Can you cluster nodes with E5-2600 processors (Sandy Bridge) and E5-2600 v2 (Ivy Bridge) without enabling Processor compatibility at the VM level?

Hi AuZZZie,
We recommend you to use the identical hardware for Hyper-V cluster nodes.
Sandy and Ivy are different architecture , so they are different processor .
Based on my understanding , this is a compatibility issue on cluster level .
Here is an similar issue :

Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8. This was months ago.
I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.
