There is the Technisat SkyStar2 PCI card compatible?

Hi!
I have a MegaPC 865 with an AGP Geforce MX440-SE grapichs card and I want to buy this DVB-S card, but I've read there's some problems when you connect it next to the AGP slot, but I don't know if this happends in this barebone...
Anyone have try it?
Thank you!
PD: Sorry for my poor english .

Hi Stu!
The card isn't too big, I think that there's enough space for it. The really problem is some people says that if you put it in the PCI slot under the AGP (the Mega 865 has only one PCI slot) you may have some problems: maybe the card isn't recognized or maybe the computer don't start. But there's other people says that they not have this problem. In the official web (http://www.technisat.com/) says (for the skystar2):
System requirements PCI-Devices
* IBM compatible PC with Pentium III 700 MHz or higher
* 1 available PCI slot (do not use the one directly under AGP graphic card)
I think that they have received some mail from people that has problems with their configuration, because I've read that it works in other cases.
If nobody have try it before, I'm going to be the first, hehehe. If the card doesn't run, I can put it in my PC.
Thank you for you reply.
Bye!

Is the FX5200-T128 video card compatible with an Athlon 64 CPU and a K8N mobo?

I am building a new computer based on the Athlon 64 3000 processor and the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
I intended to use MSI MS-8907 GeForce FX5200-T128 as the video card.
However I have been told that this video card might not be compatible either with the Athlon 64 processors or with the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
Is it compatible or not?
If it's not compatible, what is the cheapest MSI video card compatible with the Athlon 64 and the K8N?
Thank you in advance for your help.

If it's there, it means they at least inserted the card, booted, and installed drivers, as far as what they do from that point is anyones guess. You will see the far right column shows 4x or 8x.
I agree, it is minimal info at best and not my idea of what should be included in a test report.
I don't see any reason why that card would not work, the market is saturated with that type of card.

Is the Linksys WMP54G PCI adapter compatible with the Airport Extreme?

I have set up my network using the Airport Extreme and am able to connect my iMac, my Macbook Pro, and two Windows laptops without difficulty. However, the two Windows desktops that I have are using the Linksys PCI wireless adapters (WMP54G) and they both do not even see my network. They are able to see the neighbors' networks just fine, though.
I called Linksys and they assure me that the cards are compatible with the Airport Extreme. Linksys advised me to adjust my settings or call Apple for support. I have tried configuring the Airport, but I don't really know what settings to change. Has anyone else successfully connected using this adapter? If so, could you help me connect? Thank you very much!

Ok, thanks! Try the following setting on the WMP54G PCI adapter:
o Look at page 12 of the adapter's User Guide for reference ...
o For Security, select WPA Personal
o For Encryption, select AES
If this doesn't work, try reconfiguring the AEBSn for WPA Personal (not WPA2 Personal), and then make the following change on the adapter:
o For Encryption, select TKIP

MacWireless PCI Cards

Hello,
Has anybody out there tried the MacWireless 11g PCI Card from MacWireless.com?
I'm initially interested in this card because it's supposed to be compatible with G4 towers and give the speed of 54 Mbps, a speed that can't be reached by purchasing the original Airport card (my 450 dual mac isn't compatible with Airport Extreme). According to the specifications, this card will be recognised as an Airport card and requires no additional software.
I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.4. Does any body know which Airport drivers this version of OS X has? (The MacWireless PCI card rev B requires Mac OS 10.3.3 or later and AirPort Drivers v. 4.2 or later.)
Finally, if I was to use a regular original Airport card, would it hinder potential broadband internet speeds on my computer? Would web pages load much slower?
Any information would be much appreciated.
Gigabit Ethernet Dual 450 G4 Mac OS X (10.3.4) 1.6Gb RAM, running Quark Xpress 6.5 & Adobe Creative Suite

Hi Tom,
I haven't used the card but from what I've read it's compatable with OS X 10.2-10.4 with Airport 3.1-3.3; 3.4 and up native.
You can find the version of Airport you have with Apple System Profiler. Go to the Apple menu and choose About This Mac and then click on the More Info button. Click on Extensions under Software on the left and all installed extensions will appear on the right.
You won't be able to surf the web any faster with a 802.11g card because your internet connection isn't even as fast as 802.11b but you'll save $100 or so over the cost of an original AirPort card.

Dual-net pci cards 64bit compatible??

are the dual-net pci cards 64bit windows compatible? if so, which drivers work the best and if not, will it be?

If you find the drivers ,yes

Does Apple make a wireless pci card for the G5?

I have a new Airport Extreme base station, but my PowerMac G5 still has the old airport pci card. Does Apple make an "n" pci card that I can use to swap out my old wireless card?

No. Apple does not have an 802.11n solution for your PowerMac G5.

USB 2.0 on PCI card no longer supported?

Curious as to whether anyone else has experienced the same problem I had trying to update via a USB 2.0 port on a PCI card. I just updated to 1.1.1 yesterday, and while connected to a USB 2.0 port on my PCI card (my old Mac never had built-in 2.0 ports), all **** broke loose after the download was complete and ready to be installed. I've never had problems syncing via the PCI card's USB 2.0 port up to now, but during the "preparing iPhone for . . ." process, my iPhone would not respond to the installer, resulting in an error message. After repeated attempts, I switched over to a built-in USB 1.1 port and then had to do a complete restore (which took several hours), but was successful. Oddly though, after the restore, if I try to use the USB 2.0 port on the PCI card again to sync, I get an error message saying that the contents of the iPhone cannot be read, and that I'll have to restore again (even though the phone is fully functional). If I switch back to the built-in USB 1.1 port, everything is fine and I'm not asked to restore the phone. Looks like I can no longer use my USB 2.0 ports (on the PCI card), which worked fine prior to 1.1.1. I know that my weeks/months are numbered with this older Mac (doesn't appear that Leopard will be supported on this Mac), but I just wasn't planning to purchase a new Mac just yet. Perhaps Apple is now checking for "built-in" USB 2.0 during these updates and not supporting USB 2.0 via a PCI card? Would sort of make sense, given the number of users who continue to have problems just trying to get iTunes to recognize their phone (i.e., eliminate the 3rd-party PCI cards). I doubt I'll attempt another update to my iPhone with this Mac. Let me know if you've had a similar experience using a PCI card rather than "built-in" USB ports. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the great info!
I had an issue with my wife's Powermac G4 Sawtooth and went out and got a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card to replace the less compatible usb 2.0 pci card. It looks a card with the NEC chipset definitely does the trick.
Her iPhone now syncs pretty much perfectly on the Belkin card. Yaaay!
Of course, it doesn't help that there is another syncing issue going on right now, which kind of threw me:

USING A PCI CARD TO RUN A 320GIG ATA/IDE HD IN A QUICKSILVER G4

I didn't realise that my model did not support HD's over 120gb. After much reading I found out that I would need a PCI ata 133 card. On checking on ebay it was confusing as to which one. What do I specifically need? There is a range in prices also for similar units. I would rather pay more for quality? Are all PCI cards compatible for macs and PCs?

Hello! No not all cards will work in Macs and many are not bootable. Sonnet's pci cards are bootable and many like OWC's cards. Personally I like Sonnet's SATA card since many new drives are the newer technology. You could put the drive in an external firewire enclosure that would also be bootable. HERE's the Sonnet ide/ata133 card which will do what you want and HERE's a good enclosure should you decide to go that route. tom

Which Mini-PCI card for Satellite 1130-Z31?

Can anyone tell me which Mini-PCI card would be compatible with a Satellite 1130-Z31 notebook? The system should use IEEE 802.11b.
With thanks

Hello
For your unit there is Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card (2,4GHz, 802.11b) with PA3212U-1MPC part number compatible.
In the future if you need some information check http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com . Under Products > Options & Accessories you can find all you need.

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

Question about dual-monitor setup - advanced dock + PCIe card

I just got a Z60t at work. I had been using a dual monitor setup, but it doesn't look like my current config is going to fly w/ the new machine. Anyway, here's what I've got:
Primary monitor: Acer AL2416W (1920x1200 DVI)
Secondary monitor: Dell 1901FP (1280x1024 VGA)
I've read that the advanced dock might be able to let me use this setup with the Z60t if i put a PCIe video card in it. So here are my questions:
1. Will the advanced dock + PCIe video card allow me to run the two monitors listed above (I don't use the laptop screen at all)?
2. Which PCIe cards are compatible with the advanced dock?
3. Can I achieve the same resolutions with the advanced dock + PCIe card?
4. Will I need to split the VGA output, or can i use VGA + DVI like I do now (since the Z60t has no native DVI support)?
thanks!

Gary -- don't turn on the OS Display Mirroring. Turn it off.
You want Aperture to control how it uses your dual monitors. (You do not want the OS to determine it.)
Once you've turned off the OS "Display Mirroring", the set-up I specified above should give you what you want.
That set-up is:
"View → Main Viewer → {anything}", and
"View → Secondary Viewer → Alternate"
You must have the Viewer active (not the Browser) in order to change the "Secondary Viewer" setting. If you are in the Browser, activate the Viewer by double-clicking an Image.
Let me know if that doesn't work.

(solved) get X to use my PCI card instead of onboard graphics.

I'm trying to install arch on an old P4 dell (dimension 2350) and given the specific requirements and restrictions of this given beast I'm having a bit of trouble getting X configured. (I'm turning it into a replacement for my modded xbox running xbmc, yes, I know it won't play hi-def)
Here's the setup:
- It has onboard graphics (intel) which I don't plan on using since it only has vga out.
- I've installed my video card (ATI radeon 9250 - hey it's the best standard pci card I could find)
Here's the problem:
- Everything works with the onboard intel chip
- If I try to plug my monitor in to the ATI card it (the monitor) dims and doesn't register as being attached.\
- I've tried turning off the onboard graphics in my bios but the only options are "onboard" and "auto" so it's currently set to auto.
More fun:
- The fun part is that I plan on using the ATI card's svideo out to my tv once it's set up, I'm just trying to get the monitor to work while I configure everything.
I'm considering trying to run an ubuntu live disc and seeing if I can copy over the xorg.conf file that gets generated.
Any ideas?
**edit
After some searching I've got it working. Apparently linux still reads onboard cards with this pc/bios because of the piss poor bios.
i added 'blacklist agpgart' & 'blacklist intel_agp' (without quotes) to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, set video to 'auto' in the bios, plugged the monitor into my card and rebooted.
sweet.

Re: Upgrade Portege R100 WLAN to wap - new mini pci-card oder pcmia?

Hi!
My old but loved R100 is not able to connect to my wlan-Router due to the fact,
that the build-in pci-card doesn't support wap. So i have to update my notebook
either with a new mini-pc card oder a pcmia-card. Which solution is better?
Best regards,
Rita

Thanks for the reply.
Plesase help me read this carefully.
Actually, my computer is Portege R150 series. I bought it from a friend that just came back from china. All the functions are working except wlan and sd memory card. I formatted the operating system that came with it and installed another xp proffessional and downloaded all the drivers online. In the device manager, I didnt see the wlan card so I decided to open it and I checked it, the card wasnt installed on the board, it must have been removed by someone I dont know, tthe antenna cable wasnt there also. I then bought another intel wlan card. I downloaded the driver and i installed it. It was driven and the system was detecting it. but for the fact that there was no antenna, when I search for wifi, i do not see any newtwork. I then decided to buy the antenna cable. I bought it and there are two connectors on the wlan card. one is main and the other is aux. I connected it on main and I know that the other end of the same cable should be connected somewhere in the computer to the antenna. I cant see any connector on the motherboard that looks like where I can plug that cable. Thats my problem.
Please if I can get the installation manual, i'd very much appreciate. Maybe the manual might help me cos I dont want to buy a pcmcia cos iv already bought a minipci and my machine detects it, i just need to connect it to the antenna, and I dont know where the antenna port is.
Thank you.
