Solaris on Gigabyte motherboard

Hi All!!
after futile trials to install solaris on my dell laptop i tried installing on my desktop-customer built
new HD
it all installed fine.....but my mouse acts weird...i cant click the right things in the right place....may be i need mouse drivers
but my solaris OS doesn't see that i have a optical drive in there...
how can i install mouse drivers
secondly- there are no audio drivvers as well
- there is no internet connection
- it totally skipped the step to ask me if i was using dhcp!!
please help
sriya

Hi,
1. For the sound problem. you have to download and install driver for your sound card. Search using your sound card or sound device name and solaris for the driver. you can also try the following sites if your requirement matches.
Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=8&PartDetailId=Sol-audio-drivers1.0-x86-G-F&TransactionId=try
http://www.tools.de/opensource/solaris/audio/beta/
2. Mouse problem: I don't think that problem is for optical mouse. Because I use optical mouse smoothly.
It can be easily solved by configuring Xorg. Solaris uses 2 GUI system. Xsun and Xorg. Xsun is the default one. But Xorg comes with some extended features.
to configure Xorg go to terminal and type kdmconfig. Then the Xorg configaration starts. It asks you about your system, resolution, keyboard, mouse etc. Answer those questions properly and save and exit. After restart it works.
REMEMBER: after configuration and before reboot check if the keyboard is setup in US language by typing- gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf . then see in input device > core keyboard section.
if it is not "us", then edit and make the Option "XkbLayout" " "us"
I think it helps.

X-FI Xtreme Audio and Gigabyte motherboard - machine won't mount di

Hi,
I just bought me a nice new audio card, as the onboard card on my motherboard isn't all that (I think).
Now here's the issue; After installing the new card in the second PCI slot, thus leaving an open PCI slot between the PCI-E slot (which holds my video card) and the PIC slot I used for the audio card, when booting up the machine it won't actually load any OS (I use GRUB to multiboot). It complains about a wrong device, disk read error, and all kind of funny things. Turns out for some reason my DVD player isn't recognized anymore as far as I can tell, and this completely changes the boot order. Also, when touching the dri'ves when it's booted, I don't feel any actual activity. Booting takes a long time as well with the card inserted.
Removing the audio card and turning the onboard one back on in BIOS (or just leaving it disabled) turns everything back to normal :smileyindifferent: I've also tried assigning the card another IRQ in the BIOS, but that doesn't really change anything at all...
If anyone has any idea after looking at the below specs, please enlighten me.

Software to change USB voltage on Gigabyte motherboard

Hi, all!
I need a program/driver which could change USB voltage on the fly. I need that due to iPad 2 which says "Not charging" when I connect it to my PC. I googled and find out that iPad requires higher current in USB port than most motherboards provide.
In this thread a tool for ASUS motherboards was offered but it's for Windows only. The fact that such a tool exists makes me thinking that it could be implemented for Linux too.
Thanks.

Never mind, it's ok.
Actually, I accidentally told you wrong information. When I decided to find out exact motherboard model, I realized my motherboard is ASUS P5PL2. Sorry, I had to check that far before starting the thread.
However, I have kind of good news. Here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504845) someone solved the problem on Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and offered a small program which enables iPad charging on PC. For those who might read this thread later I provide direct links to it:
Page with the program
Direct link to zipped deb file
Direct link to source code
Unfortunately, when I connect my iPad and start the program, it says:
[bz@bolt ipad_charge]$ sudo ./ipad_charge
ipad_charge: no such device or an error occured
I'm not sure, but I guess this might be related to the problem I mentioned two days ago.

Solaris 10 06/06 x86 and Gigabyte-GA-8I865GVM

Hello all.
I try to install Solaris 10 06/06 x86 on workstation with Gigabyte-GA-8I865GVM motherboard with intergrated ethernet-card.
System installation process finish successfully, but system don't "see" network card.
Whta steps i can made for networking?

hello,
Can you share with me your experiences in installing solaris 10 on this particular model of gigabyte motherboard? I am trying to build a desktop with solaris 10 as the default o/s.
Or do u know of any other motherboards with minimal installation and compatibility problems?

Solaris 10 network issues

Hi,
I recently installed Solaris amd64 3000+, 512MB 400MHz ram, gigabyte motherboard desktop. Everything went fine, except within the gui i wasnt prompted to use DHCP? unless i completely missed it!?! When i issue 'ifconfig lo0 dhcp start' i get "ifconfig: lo0: interface does not exist or cannot be managed using DHCP" ??? This is driving me insane. I also remembered being prompted within text installer of Solaris but when I boot to DVD my keyboard freezes and I cant change option to text installer, i get default GUI which i didnt see option for DHCP. I also tried to assign an ip address to my lo0 interface but It always stays at 127.0.0.1. I changed /etc/host file and rebooted but nothing? I'm guessing im completely missing something. Help?

I've got this same problem;
I installed Solaris 10 u4 but it didn't recognise the on-board ethernet, so never asked me for any network configuration info at install-time.
After the install was complete I added a 3com ethernet card, touch /reconfigure, and rebooted.
It detects the card at boot but doesn't plumb it.
I can plumb it fine manually, but it just won't do this itself at boot.
Is there some way to get this to happen properly?

Intel Motherboard DG965WH compatibility

Hi, I want to build a system to run Solaris. The Motherboard I want to use is an Intel DG965WH with the Intel G965 Chipset.
I want to use 6 SATA Drives and 1 IDE drive. I don't care about sound and 3D, but I want the graphical user interface to work as well as the USB ports. This motherboard uses an Intel GMA X3000 on-board graphics subsystem.
Will Solaris work on this motherboard.
Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

I run a MacBook Pro,and use an iBook G4 as the node.They work well.
Both have the latest versions LPro 7.2.3 UB,and the newest Node as well.
Cheers

Would a Gigabyte 7DX mobo and SB Live 5.1 work ok together? No conflic

Hi, I was considering getting one of the refurbed SB Li've 5.'s on this site, and was wondering if there are any known conflicts between the Gigabyte 7DX motherboard and the SB Li've 5., because I had heard that in some cases certain motherboards (a different one by Gigabyte, I believe) did conflict with the Li've 5..
Also... are there any known conflicts between the 7DX's Via 686B South Bridge and the Li've 5. I had heard that some Via chipsets and the Li've 5. don't play well together.
This is under Win2000, and ACPI is in effect, so the Li've 5. (in fact, anything in any of the pci slots) will be on the same IRQ as the AGP slot, the currently used onboard sound, and both USB controllers. The Gigabyte 7DX mobo also normally has a Creative PCI 28 (CT 5880) integrated into it, but in my case it seems to have been omitted, prob. b/c of it being OEM... incidentally.
In any case, thanks...

Hey Guys,
You seem to be knowing a lot about SB conflicts with Gigabyte MotherBoards, Thus I decided to ask you about what I have.
I have lately purchased the Gigabyte Motherboard Model No. GA-G975X, with the onboard Creative CA006 chip.
I use an Intel Pentium 4 processor 3.4GHz , 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
I use .00GB of RAM
My OS is Microsoft Windows Professional Version 2002, Service pack
My Problems are:
The sound of a played media stops abruptly and keeps repeating with a high pitch till it shuts down the player software & the System.</LI>
The OS restarts.</LI>
I have noticed that the problem occurs if I try to use another program or service beside the one using SoundBlaster. (ex. dialup using a phone line.)
I tried the system with all creative drivers uninstalled the problem was gone.
Have you got any clues about the cause and the solution.

Best Regards,
Vittorio

Exactly same behaviour with G975x MB !!! The CA006 chipset is not anouncing itself correctly to the APIC HAL Windows XP system (Hardware Abstraction Layer). First, the card was not correctly detected by the system ! I got an audio controller detected in component manager but driver or Creative setup are not able to detect hardware !
After many complaints at Gigabyte or Creative, no answers for this problem or only evasi've answers. Windows registry are detecting these components :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\P CI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&SUBSYS_0602&REV_00\4&bc67b8d&0& 28F0
where VEN_02 is for CREATIVE Labs.
Here are the HardwareIDs detected :
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&SUBSYS_0602&REV_00
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&SUBSYS_0602
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&CC_04000
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&CC_040
But for 24bit li've (or audigy2 CA006 LS) hardware ID must be SUBSYS_00602 and not SUBSYS_0602 to be detected by creative setup or installed manually by P7.inf setup file !!! The P7CPI.dll file is not accessing correctly hardware and is faulty !
Installed manually, the card is not responding or crash system, and windows startup time is increased by 5mn, at least !
To resume Chipset are not correctly detected or are corrupted, and only thing to do is to RMA the motherboard as I !!!
This problem seams to be a standard behaviour from CREATIVE chipsets product line and many users are experiencing the same problem... Both Creative and Gigabyte are not responsible for that bad use of their product !!! Sure !!! Always bad naughty users are doing bad things with their boards, like playing tennis with, or trying to have a good shower with these scrappy cards !!! Everybody knows that we are all stupid basic lambda users with no idea about what is a mobo used for !!!

Affordable x86 Hardware

I'm getting pretty frustrated with trying to make Solaris 11 work on my x86 hardware. I've got an old gigabyte motherboard and a bunch of PCI SIL3114 cards that worked great on Solaris 10. Upgrading to Solaris 11 was pretty painful, though. I've come to the conclusion that something is wrong with one of my SIL3114 cards, but I can't replace it anymore. The closest thing I can get is a SIL3124 but Solaris won't even boot with that card in. The display gets corrupted on the boot screen and I never get to the login screen.
At this point, I think I need to start over. New motherboard, new PCIe -> SATA controllers, etc.
My question:
Does anybody know of a reasonably priced motherboard w/ PCIe as well as a (maybe not reasonably priced) PCIe -> SATA controller that works with Solaris 11 without spending weeks trying to make it work? I started looking through the hardware compatability list for things that are "reported to work" but all of the motherboards I found were either discontinued or 300+ dollars. That's a little ridiculous for what is basically a glorified file server. Frankly, if it's going to cost me that much to get it working I'm going to give up on Solaris and buy a Drobo or try to find an operating system that doesn't cause me to rip my hair out.
Thanks for your help,
Pete

Hi
Solaris 11 supports Xfree86 so you can find a plenty of Graphics drivers or you can get a generic xfree86 driver that will work for sure .

BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE FAILURE 0x1000009f ntoskrnl.exe

Hi there,
I get a BSOD every once in a while, but only for a few weeks by now:
Sometimes while working on the computer it just freezes (not using any certain program), I can't use my mouse/ keyboard, sound stops, waiting a long time sometimes helps, but after 10-15 minutes I usually give up and reset.
Then rebooting most of the time does not work propperly: The computer waits about 30secs showing my motherboard instructions (BIOS key, boot menu key, ...), then freezes for about 5-10 minutes showing the windows logo and saying something like "windows
is starting up" (the black screen with the 4 colored windows logo). Sometimes it doesn't continue from there at all. If it does the computer runs fine (after the 10min boot). Otherwise I reset it again, Windows asks whether I want to start normal or safe
mode, normal works.
Yesterday windows told me while booting that I'd need to do a system restore, did that. Works for now, but I'd like to really solve the problem.
Checking the last crashes I always have the same BSOD:

There's no IRP list to run !irp on, however, we have a bit more of an informative call stack. We can see various
storport.sys (Microsoft Storage Port driver) calls. With that said, it looks like we may have possibly had an I/O request (ultimately an IRP) sent along the Disk, and to the storage driver. Now, the better question is, what did
storport.sys do with it? Unfortunately, with no IRP list, I don't know!
In the mean time, if you crash again, here's what I can tell you:
1. AODDriver2.sys is listed and loaded in your modules list which is AMD Overdrive; also in EasyTune6 for Gigabyte motherboard. Known BSOD issues in Win7 & 8.
Please uninstall either software ASAP! If you cannot find either software to uninstall, or it's not installed, please navigate to the following filepath:
C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Fuel\amd64\AODDriver2.sys
and rename AODDriver2.sys to AODDriver.2old
and then Restart.
2. Remove and replace Avira with Microsoft Security Essentials for temporary troubleshooting purposes as it's very likely causing file system conflicts:

Building a system for the first time

I recently posted a few weeks back about buying a system from either Dell or HP http://forums.adobe.com/thread/732545?tstart=0. I quickly learned that those systems were not going to fit my need based on my budget. So, I decided after researching components that I will build a computer by hand for the first time. I am still operating on a budget of around $1000, but I'm giving the budget a bit of flexibility so I don't limit my options. I am a hobbyist who only has experience using Power Director on my laptop, but I had a lot of fun editing for the first time and I want to step up my game. With the new system, I plan to use adobe premiere cs5 and after effects. I will capture my video from either an HD Helmet cam or HD flip format is MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. So where I need help is selecting the right things to optimize my performance. The following is a list of items I'm looking with their prices. Please help me decide what will be right for me. Open to any combo of suggestions or comments. Thanks!
Processor
Intel i7 930 $200 microcenter
Intel i7 950 $230 microcenter
I don't know if I want overclock yet, but it sounds like a good idea. $30 for the upgrade to the i7 950 seems pretty good. ro do I use the money elsewhere?
Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R $210
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128423
Seems like a good mobo. Are there any features that this board lacks that I should look for in another board? Also, newegg offers significant deals on "open box" products. Is this a good way to go?
Ram
I have a few questions for this selection. I've currently budgeted approximately $250 for ram. I'm looking at going with 12GB. I certainly don't have the budget for 24GB, but what about 16GB?
Do I look for 1333 or 1600? 2GB or 4GB sticks? Would I be fine if I bought say 2 packs of 6GB ram, both same manufacturer and same type or would I want to buy 1 pack of 12GB?
GPU
Nvidia Geforce gtx 460 1GB $220
Is it worth it to go to the 470? I know it's a better card but being a budget is really worth the upgrade or can I get away with a 460?
Any recomendations for a 460 as there are many in the same price range?
Drives
I see these drives priced in the $55 range which would leave at around $220 for the lot of em
These are the drives I'm looking at as they are highly recommended on this board:
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3
WD Caviar Black
Right now, I plan to buy 4 drives. Do I want 4 of the exact same? or say 1 cavier black for os/ programs and 3 samsung f3 for pagefile/scratch/renders? Can I also get a brief description of what these are too? Also, could have a 500gb for os/programs and 1tb for the rest or would it be advisable for 1tb for all? or 500gb for all?
I don't think I can do a raid setup based on my budget, but I saw this as an option on the thread for storage rules is to use the on-board IHCR or Marvell chip. I don't know really anything about this, but what would the price be to explore this option?
Case
Cooler Master Storm Scout $90
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119196
I picked this case for a few reasons. I seem move about every 6 months so the handles on top would be very useful, and it seems to have good cooling. I know a full size case is recommended, but they seem to be significantly more.
Cooling
Noctua NH-U12P SE2 120mm SSO CPU Cooler $75
Everywhere I look this cooler seems to get great reviews. I figure it could be a good idea to get a good cooler if I get a mid-tower case.
The only other option I can think of for case/cooling is to combine the budgeted price for both and look at different options like a full size case with a less quality cooler. Is this a better option
PSU
Looking into an 850 W power supply. I figure to budget $80 towards as I've seen a few in that range
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817517003
so would something like this work?
Final Thoughts
So, when you add it all up its about $1350. First question, how does this look overall? Nothing I've chosen is obviously overkill, but is there anything I can afford to go cheaper on? or anything I should invest more into?
Thanks again to everyone for the help. The resources, info and people on this forum have just been awesome.

Seems like we are planning very similar PCs. My build is going to be for: amateur video editing including animation mainly with CS5, application design and coding mainly with MS Visual Studio 2008, HTPC (until I build a cheap dedicated unit for the TV), general family computing. I am new to this stuff, but can at least share some pricing and my decision making process so far.
Here is what I have selected so far regarding the parts:
MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R x58
Seems like one of the lower cost x58 MBs and has some decent reviews. Wait for a sale, you should be able to find this for around $180.00. That is how much I got it for from New Egg (straight up with savings code no rebate), should be arriving on my doorstep tomorrow. Also, I think Fry's has it now for $170.00 in store, but that includes a $20.00 rebate and tax.
PowerSupply: Corsair TX650W
Some might think this is on the low side. On the other hand, I have gotten other conflicting advice, stating that many people overestimate their actual power needs. So who knows. I have read that a PSU works more efficient when it is matched to the power needs - meaning that a 1000w PSU that is generally seeing 200w usage might not be so efficient. Anyway, I got the PSU for $50.00 from New Egg (with rebate), and it has a good reputation, so we will see how it goes.
Graphics Card: GIGABYTE GV-N460OC-1GI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
I was planning on a lower cost card, but then noticed this card for sale over the weekend for $178.00 (with rebate), so I ordered one. I have read the GTX460 has reasonable power requirements, and can be made to take advantage of CUDA/Mercury with CS5 (although haven't done much research into that). This particular version based on reviews, seems fairly quite with the twin fans. It's possible I overspent a bit on this card considering my needs, time will tell.
Here is what I am planning to purchase:
CPU: i7 930
I am fortunate to live near a Fry's and MicroCenter ($200.00). From reading the forum, seems like this is generally the lowest CPU folks go in terms of building an editing machine. I understand the argument that for only $30.00 more, one can upgrade to the i7 950. On the other hand, that argument could be made for many of the components, and then before you know it, a little extra here and there, and the budget is shot:) So I am planning to draw the line at the 930.
Here are my undecided’s:
Memory
I am up in the air between 6or12gig/module compatibility/cost. But one thing for you to keep in mind, is the official memory certified for the motherboard you select. For the Gigabyte motherboard, I missed out on a recent RAM deal, because the RAM was not officially certified for the board. Some people tell me this is important, while others say "RAM is RAM" and no big deal. Something to consider.
HardDrives
Same as you, considering the Samsung Spinpoint F3. Good prices now at MicroCenter on the 16MB cache models in 500 and 1TB sizes. I just don't know if larger cache sizes are important or not, since they are also offered in 32MB and higher.
Anyway, good luck with your build and hope it works well.

Problem Playing Video in Premiere Pro CS4

I am having a problem playing video in premiere pro. When I input any movie clip and try to play it in both the timeline and in the preview mode, the audio works fine but the video only plays a few seconds worth of footage at a really slow pace so that it takes up the entire time. For instance if I load a 3 minute video, the sound is normal but over the coarse of that 3 minutes I will only see a small number of the frames and they are cycled through in ultra slow motion.
All the clips play normally outside of premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I have premiere installed on my laptop and it works fine. I have tried rendering the video first and it still doesn't work. I have tried holding shift before the program is loading and it did nothing. I have downloaded all the updates too. Videos seem to play fine in After Effects.
Also, I am having trouble when importing HD video into premiere and after effects. For some reason the programs freeze when I try to import footage from my Creative Vado HD pocket video camera.
Here are my computer specs
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit
Intel Core2 Quad q8200
ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics Card
Gigabyte Motherboard
4GB of 800 Mhz RAM
This is really frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Keith,
The file extension .AVI indicate a "wrapper." All sorts of stuff can be in that wrapper *. Some of that stuff will play/edit fine. Much will not and create issues, as you have seen. Your camera uses a CODEC to create those .AVI files. That CODEC is the issue. I recommend G-Spot to find out what the CODEC is. Some times it's just a matter of having the proper CODEC installed on the computer. Most of the time, it takes much more than that - hence Eddie's links on "conversion." At least G-Spot will get us all on the same playing field, and explicit help can follow - probably to study Eddie's links. My guess is that your camera uses some form of DivX CODEC, hence the problem that you see.
Good luck,
Hunt
* Think of .AVI like the foil wrapper on a stick of gum, when you remove the outer lable. You know it's gum, but not what flavor. Could be Juicyfruit, or Spearmint, or Double-mint. G-Spot will tell you the flavor. PrPro likes some flavors, but hates others.

CS3 installs, but freezes when I attempt to load it (no splash screen... just loads forever)

I have been able to successfully INSTALL Adobe Photoshop CS3: Extended multiple times, however I have yet to actually successfully RUN the application. After installation, when I try to open the program, a window appears with "Adobe Photoshop CS3" at the top and it is simply a large grey box with nothing inside of it. My mouse cursor turns into an hourglass and that's it... I left it there for an hour and a half once just to see what it would do and it simply continued in an endless loop of nothingness.
I have a custom-built computer with an AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition, 2x2GB of OCZ 1066mhz Reaper DDR2, a Gigabyte motherboard with the GX790 chipset (SB750 southbridge), and a 2x1 Terabyte RAID 1 array.
It's running in a brand spanking new Windows XP Professional installation with Service Pack 3.
I have tried the following:
1) Uninstalling and reinstalling (same result)
2) Uninstalling all Adobe programs, Running Adobe Clean Script at level 4, running Windows Install Cleanup to remove any remaining Adobe remnants, and reinstalled. (same result)
3) Doing everything in step 2 again, then copying the CD to my hard drive, and installing from my hard drive. (same result)
4) Doing everything in step 2 again, then making a new administrative user account and reinstalling (same result...)
The adobe tech support guys I encountered came up with some pretty crazy (and flat stupid) explanations for my problems.
One guy claimed that my Serial was for CS1 and that somehow I'd gotten a CS1 disk that just happened to come in a CS3 box, with a CS3 disk label, which just happens to say "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended" after you install it... Yeah... Right.
Another said I should reformat... Yeah right. I JUST installed XP Professional. Terrible advice.
Another said that he had tried everything and that it simply wouldn't run on my computer... and that was that (as if I should be satisfied that a program I just spent many $100s on simply refuses to work and there is nothing I can do about it).
Yet another guy (after I finally got shipped off to Indian technical support...) said that he'd seen this problem many times before and that it's linked to an instruction code error related to AMD Phenom processors and that there should be a patch out soon for it. However, I looked up threads where people with Phenom 9850 CPUs (My CPU!) claim to be running the software flawlessly.
Can anyone give me any hope here? I'm about to call Adobe again and attempt to get some kind of intelligent answer to my problem, but in the mean time I was hoping against hope that someone else out there has had this problem and managed to solve it.
Thank you for your help

Hi Everyone,
Problem Solved Yeah!!!
~~~~ Problem: Adobe CS3 Master Collection Installs, but the applications don't run, but are running in a process, or displays and hangs and does not allow for Activation. ~~~~
This has been an issue for me with my dual Quad Core Xeon system for over a year. I believe that it has to do with RAID configurations and an improper pointer to the operating system for activation. I am using Vista 32 with SP1. The majority of Adobe support took me through literally weeks of pain. Unfortunately, I did not talk to Sarah!!!!
The above works and is posted again below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1) Go to administrative tools within the control panel and go to Services. Within Services find FLEXnet Licensing Service and start it, if it is not already started.
2) Go here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528
Install the patch (I know it says it's for Reader and for Vista only but this is false. It works for many apps within the Adobe suite and is compatible with XP). If you press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the Processes tab you should see that FNPLicensingService.exe is now running.
3) Start up any application other than Adobe Acrobat. You should be prompted with an activation screen. Enter your serial and activate the package online. CS3 should now be functinal.
THANK YOU AGAIN "SARAH AT ADOBE" FOR ACTUALLY CARING AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT GAVE YOU THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY HELP. I WISH I COULD THANK YOU PERSONALLY. I HAVE SPENT LITERALLY OVER 90 HOURS WITH OVER 15 CALLS TO ADOBE WITH NO RESULTS.

Hard Drive bottle neck.   Running SRT thinking of switch to SSD

I did the "windows experience index" on windows 7 on my new custom build. I got 7.9 (which is the best score) on everything but the primary hard disk. I got a 5.9 score for the primary hard disk.
I set up the drives with Intel's SRT with one 120 Patriot Wildfire Sata 3 drive (only using 60 gigs of it I am using for the SRT seeing that is the max and the other 60 gigs I partitioned it for extra storage space) and a 1 teribyte HDD sata 3 in the two sata 3 ports on my Gigabyte motherboard.   My Media drives are two 1.5 tb in a Raid 0 in the two Sata 2 slots but i don't think the "windows experience index" uses those in their test.
I was thinking of switching this in hopes of a better score and even better performace (even though I am pretty damn happy with the way it works now even with what windows experience index score of 5.9 is telling me)
I have a total of Two 120 Patriot Wildfire Sata 3 drives on hand. I was thinking I should use them in the two Sata 3 ports on my Gigabyte mother board in a Raid 0 which should give me close to 240gig of system drive and a really fast rate of data transfer.
All i am using this computer for is CS5.5 Production Suite and some web sites most all CMS websites these days (maybe a few games but I am not a big pc gamer)
What does everyone think?   If you think it is a good idea for me to switch to the two ssd in Raid 0.   I am wondering if I should reformat all the drives first?   I won't have to change anything on my media drive seeing that is on the Sata 2 part. If anyone has done this before I would love to hear how you went about it.
Oh and off the subject I documented the whole build and posted more than half of the videos on www.brentdolan.com   I am eventually going to come up with another name but can't think of any. any suggestions?
Thanks to everyone in advance.

Thanks everyone for your input.   I think for now I will just leave the system the way it is. Why mess up a good thing right?
Just wondering if there was any extra advantage.   My current set up works awesome. It is a dream to edit on but i was wondering if it could be possibly better.
I edit in AVCHD footage.   The footage edits great. Alll real time play back. Exporting to a H.264 is basicly in real time (10 minute clips exports in a little under 10 minutes)
So really what more can i ask for?   I guess I am just being greedy. I should of went with two 2TB drives in a Raid 0 for my media drives but I got the others on sale (at the time was strapped for cash)
Since I built this machine so many more projects followed.
I guess it is like the old saying "build it and they will come"
Thanks again all for helping me make up my mind.
