Socket 8_MS6103 Board

I have a Socket 8 board (MS6103) which functions perfectly but is slow by today's standards.  It is equipped with one processor but has scope for a second.  I'm interested to know whether it's worth adding a second processor (assuming I can find one) and, if so, what processor the board supports.  Does anyone have a view please?

  • Socket A board for Registered Memory?

    Hi,
    I'm searching for a socket A motherboard that accepts 1 GB of Infineon (HP licenced) 333 Mhz REGISTERED memory. Nowhere do I read anything about this sort of info on sites of literally any site.
    So if there is anyone who can help me to get the desired info, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your input so far.
    Why reg memory. Because I was offered the above mentioned stick for € 100,- which is an incredible deal. So I bought it, not thinking about the consequences. Finding a board on socket A (for my mobile 35W 2400) is whiningly difficult if not impossible if it is to feed with reg mem. So hence my question to you folks.
    I know I could search for a AMD64 system that does accept the reg mem, but apart from the need for an other cpu there is the matter of loss of running 333 Mhz memory on a 400 Mhz FSB system which is, to my best knowledge, not the best combination.
    So if you jump into some information about a socket A board for my mem stick, think of this thread again. Please.
    thanks.

  • Details of new nForce 3/4 socket 939 boards

    The K8N Neo4-F has been mentioned elsewhere in this forum and the details are now on the Global site. However MSI has also posted details of three other new socket 939 nForce boards as follows:-
    The K8N Neo4-FI has the nForce 4 Ultra chipset with SATA 11:- http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=651
    The K8N Neo2-F has the nForce 3 Ultra chipset:- http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=650
    and the K8N Neo2-FX has the nForce 3 250Gb chipset:- http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=649

    2.7v will not be a problem. I've got mine set to 2.8v. Once you start getting over 3v then you're shortening the lifespan of the module.(most systems will be obsolete before this happens)  This board only goes up to 2.85v.  Using 4 modules, you may want to set the command rate to 2t in the bios if it did not default to this setting. You would be better off running 2X512 megs of PC3200. Stability would improve and you'd be able to run the memory with tighter timings.

  • Socket A board with 4 mounting holes (around socket)

    Does MSI have board like title (or any other manufacturer)? I'm trying to find a good board where Thermaltake Sonic Tower would fit.
    There should be some space between PSU and socket too, else Sonic Tower would not fit.

    I use a Spire Whisperrock with a fan adapter to use an Adda 120mm fan. You wont hear it, if you have a good case. A fan could be useful when summer comes along.
    If you have some money to spend, I think this one could be something to show-off  :

  • Socket 1156 boards

    As it's a bit hard to check what boards there was, after the 1156 line was scrapped.
    I have an i7 860 cpu and I'm looking for a certain type mainboard for it.
    Could someone give me a list of all MSI mainboards with 1156 socket?
    Normal ATX boards only, no mATX or other "small" boards.
    Or if someone can tell me straight away, is there any boards with 4 PCI slots?
    I don't remember seeing any with more than 3, but I hope I'm wrong..

    Well there is a few 4 PCI slot boards by Gigabyte.
    But I'm quite sure, getting them will be hard as hell, so 3 slot MSI boards are the ones I'm really after.
    Those can be a bit easier to find for sale, as MSI is 1 of the most popular m-board brands in my country, with Asus.
    But Asus just lost all my faith in them, with my last m-board.. :P
    And concerning the need for PCI slots..
    The M-Audio cards are basically the cheapest option for 8 analog inputs in a soundcard, but they still cost around 200 euros today.
    So that's 400 euros attached to them. To change those, it would cost around 500 euros (at least) to get those 16 analog inputs they have.
    And the TC PowerCores.. Can't remember how much they were, but at least a few hundred euros each. 1 site is now selling them for $1500.
    They are too valuable to be just forgotten. And to gain the same benefit, I'd have to spend at least a couple thousand euros/USD on replacing hardware.

  • Trouble with USB2 after XP SP1 (coming from VIA Socket A board)

    (This is condensed from a thread originally on the VIA Socket A Based board. I was requested by maesus to move it here asI have an Intel board.)
    I have a new 845E Max2 motherboard and installed Windows XP.
    I have a USB2 problem after installing XP SP1 - yellow question marks in the hardware manager under "Other Hardware"/"USB (Universal Serial Bus)-Controller".
    I tried "Uninstalling" the USB controller as was suggested in the (VIA) forum, but it won't let itself be removed.
    When I try "Search for new hardware" it shows a message that an error occurred when installing the hardware, and that the hardware is not properly configured (Code 1). It suggests that I re-install the driver. When I select "re-install driver", I just get another error message. It asks me if I have a CD or disk wit drivers, but I can't find anything appropriate on the driver disk I got with the motherboard.
    I'm sure USB is enabled because I'm able to operate USB devices using both the standard board rear sockets and those on the extra bar. I have a HP USB Scanner and a PenCam, both of which work OK.
    In the Devicew Manager, under "USB", there are three USB controllers and three USB Hubs noted, all designated as operational.
    I assume that the "unknown" device which is causing trouble is the on-board USB 2.0 controller which is supposedly supported by MS Win XP SP1. For this reason I can't find a suitable driver to load - maybe there's one in the SP1 somewhere but I have no idea where to start looking for it. (I even tried re-installing the SP1, with no positive results.)
    I sent a direct enquiry to MSI's support desk last week but, up to now, have had no response.
    Has anyone an idea where I should start looking for a driver? I tried the MSI driver CD I got with my board, but couldn't find anything suitable.  Or any other advice how to solve the problem?
    Regards Steve

    Hi again!
    Tried the procedure suggested by the (fairly recent - I think March or April 2002) "Lockergnome"  WinXP tip(Sorry I don't have  a reference now, but this is my work machine and I don't have Lockergnome archive installed) and it seems to work - at least I no longer have an "unknown" device with yellow question marks in the device manager, and I DO now have an "extended USB 2" device in device manager  under "USB", in addition to the 3 standard MoBo  USB ports and 3 USB hubs I had up to now.
    The trick was that XP's Driver installation routine was saying my USB2 driver data were "invalid". In fact, it was just that certain PCI registry permissions were set to "read-only" for administrators, instead of "full-access". Opening up the permissions with regedit, then re-installing the USB driver seemed to do the trick.
    If I still have USB2 problems, I'll post them but I hope I've cured this one. I'll also post the reference to the Lockergnome article when I get home.
    Regards
    Steve

  • Socket 754 boards don't support dual channel?

    my motherboard listed below does not support dual channel? i thought it did =[ I just bought some corsair xms 3200 DC 2x512 sticks to replace my 1x512 mushkin. Should I leave in the mushkin with my xms?
    btw if it matters.. im not OCing, and my psu sucks..

    sorry about the IM i was taking a nap LOL, anyway if you want more ram go ahead and mix them as the dual channel wont matter for you.  Yes you would need a new Mobo and socket 939 cpu to get diual channel

  • Any news about MSI's socket 939 NF3-250 board?

    I hope to see something like the socket 754 board, that had a special care from MSI. I'll grow real mad if MSI doesn't go with Nforce 3 250 for socket 939, relying on the fact that VIA's new chipset will have a PCI fix.

    DDR2 might be a problem because the memory controller is inside the CPU.
    I heard that is why AMD has no plans of switching to DDR2 anytime soon.

    technically, this is a development forum, but most of us here know a bit about the java runtime environments as well.
    you should be able to access the java console for the java plug-in in your web browser. if you can find that, see if there are any errors of exceptions listed, and post them here. We may be able to tell you why those errors are occuring, if we see what the messages are.
    if you can't find the java console, tell us what browser you are using, and we may be able to help you find the console.

  • Is there a socket 754 A64 3700+ Rev. E 90nm??

    I have a socket 754 and would like a 3700+. I am not wild about another Clawhammer because I would like a little overclocking.
    Is there a Rev. E 90nm socket 754 A64 3700+?? I haven't seen one but I am hoping someone knows more than I do.

    If buying a new system yes I like everyone would go for 939, PCI-E.
    However in terms of performance there is little difference the "bottleneck of single channel" i have seen put @5-7%.

    Buying a socket 939 board now with not a too expensive cpu gives you te possibility to upgrade to an X2 cpu in about one or two years
    A year from now who knows the 754 is i think only 15m old. There are rumours about AMD Athlon 64 Rev F Update: DDR2 and Socket M2? Possibly this time next  year.giving the 939 aproximately 24m cycle. (yep it will go on but no longer be the premier high end solution.)
    So bottom line is:-
    I don't think there's ever a particularly ideal time to upgrade, it's really down to the individual & their wallet/plastic  
    Some might upgrade the CPU like  d2thez  is exploring & not want to add the extra cost of a mobo. It's a bit similar to the adoption of NEo4 & PCI-e, you see plenty of people going 4 939 Neo3 Ultra solutions rather than add the cost of a new PCI-e gfx card.
    I think the last has caught a lot of the mobo manufacturers out witness the shortage of Neo2 boards reported earlier this year.
    I have just upgraded my memory, thinking about a further upgrade towards the end of the year, my gfx card is out the ark but not worth updating until the final part of my upgrade, by definition this has locked me out of any early adoption of a M2?? solution.
    My 2$ worth  went on a bit longer than 2cents

  • K8T Neo2 socket 939 and Sempron??

    I just got a K8T Neo2 board in my hands, it's a socket 939 board... You knew that..
    A sticker on the box says that it supports AMD Sempron CPU, my thought is HOW?  I've only seen Semprons with Socket A and Socket 754, never a 939.
    Any info at all on this?

    Hmm.. No matter how I try to figure out that thought, I can't see the solution?  If I headed a large corp. and bought 200+ mobos to use with Sempron and I couldn't assemble them, I'd probably strangle the closest MSI representative..  The worst part is that I can't find ANYTHING about this, not inside the box, not on AMD's site and not on MSI's site.  Only that damned label on the mobo box..

  • Neo2 w/Socket 939 and nForce3 - discontinued?

    Hello:
    I'm pretty new to this, so some of my questions might have obvious answers that I just haven't been able to find.
    Currently building a machine for home use, but have not yet purchased a motherboard, though I had decided on MSI. The particular model I was thinking of was the K8N Neo2 Platinum. I have heard, though, that this model is being discontinued. Many distributors still have the K8N Neo2-F, but some seem to be out of stock.
    The thing is, I need a chipset that has good Linux compatibility -- and as far as I know, the nForce4 is not yet there, but the nForce3 has stable Linux drivers. I'd also like a socket 939, but it seems like all the socket 939 boards are coming with the nForce4 chipset.
    So -- does anyone know if MSI is going to continue making a Socket 939 mainboard with the nForce3 chipset?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Quote from: Richard on 21-September-05, 22:34:39
    Doug,
    The K8N Neo2 Platinum is still listed on the current list of Mobos on the MSI website and pricewatch still shows quite a few vendors still selling it.
    Thanks for answering.
    What you say is true. But of all the vendors selling it, the only one who has it in stock is selling it as an OEM piece "with a COMPAQ branded bios splash screen".
    I'm still wondering if this board or the Neo2-F (still widely available) will continue to be made, or if MSI will continue making a socket 939/nForce3 board.
    Eh...I can always bite the bullet and live with not-so-great Linux support for a while with the nForce4.
    Thanks again.

  • TCP/IP Instrument & Socket Classes in VISA

    I have been trying to use the new Labview 6i VISA classes for TCP/IP
    communications and NI has not been much help so far. I tried
    specifying IP address strings as shown in help section for the "VISA
    Open" command. Every time I attempt to open a session with either of
    the specified TCPIP syntax:
    TCPIP INSTR TCPIP[board]::host address[::LAN device name][::INSTR]
    TCPIP SOCKET TCPIP[board]::host address:ort:OCKET
    I get an invalid resource parsing error. I have tried every possible
    permutation of the allowed syntax that I can think of with no luck. The
    tech support at NI seems never to have attempted to use this feature.
    Are these classes even supported yet?!? Can't find any documentation
    or examples other than the "VISA Open" help section. Thanks for any
    help.

    Max:
    These certainly should have worked with LabVIEW 6i; I know we did even more testing in the latest releases (LabVIEW 6.1 and NI-VISA 2.6) and the TCPIP stuff in VISA certainly works. Here are a couple of example resource strings that will parse correctly (and should have with NI-VISA 2.5 as well).
    For SOCKET, this is just like the traditional TCP functionality in LabVIEW. An example string that connects with the NI FTP site is:
    "TCPIP::ftp.ni.com::21:OCKET"
    For INSTR, this requires a device that supports the T&M standard LAN instrument protocol. An example of this (that we have tested with) is the Tektronix 3054 Scope. A string that connects with this scope is:
    "TCPIP::HostnameOrIP::gpib0,1::INSTR"

  • Z97S Krait Edition CPU Socket Question

    Hi, I'm wondering whether the socket backplate on the reverse side of the the board is insulated. So far I have been unable to find any specific information online - although it seems that some ASUS products come with this as a protective feature. I'm just wondering whether this comes as a default for all socket 1150 boards. The reason I'm asking is because I am concerned that this item may come into contact with the chassis of my case and would like some peace of mind on this matter.
    I've attached a photo of the item in question - the silver socket behind the X shaped backplate (btw this is not a actual photo of my motherboard).
    Cheers
