Which PCI Interface do I have?
I have a G4 XServe that was originally bought in June of '03. We're looking at replacing it with a new Intel model, but I need to make sure my PCI cards will work.
I haven't been able to determine which interface these cards are using. I'm certain one is PCI-X, because it's an ATTO UL4S card. I also have an LSI 929 (that's how it shows up in System Profiler) fiber channel card in the other slot. From what I've been able to find, it seems that this is a PCI-X card also?
Thanks!
The things that WON'T work are PCI Express cards.
Are you SURE about that? The OP is buying an Intel Xserve:

The Intel Xserve is PCI Express:

We do know that his G4 Xserve doesn't have any PCI Express cards, because the Xserve got PCI Express as of Intel Xserve.
But PCI Express cards do WORK, and are preferred, in the Intel Xserve.

MSI 945p Neo3, which pci-e does it have?
Hi
I have a rather old MSI 945p Neo3 motherboard, and my graphics card just broke down. As my computer is old, and money is limited, I've decided to take the budget approach to buying a new graphics card, but I need to know if it will be compatible with my old motherboard. From what I understand, the 945p Neo3 uses a first generation PCI-E slot, and while PCI-E cards usually are backwards compatible, I've heard of people who have had problems with the very first generation of PCI-E (1.0a), while the slightly newer first generation PCI-E slots work (1.1). The card that I'm looking at is a ATI Radeon HD 5450 (which is the second cheapest card I can find at the moment). Does anyone know if this card will work on my aging computer?Quote

Which type of PCI slots do I have?
I want to upgrade my graphics card for gaming. I want to install a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT which is a PCI Express 2.0 interface. Can I put this in my MacPro? What are my options for better cards? From what I understand, which may be wrong, is I have 4 PCIe ports and 1 PCIe2 port? I can't seem to find anything in the System Profiler that says definitively.
The card I have says this under the Graphics/Displays section:
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Type: Display
*Bus: PCIe*
Slot: Slot-1
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
But then under PCI Cards it says:
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT:
Name: NVDA,Display-B
Type: display
*Bus: PCI*
Slot: Slot-1
Vendor ID: 0x10de
So I am confused because I cannot tell if the NVIDIA card is PCI or PCIe. Do I have four regular PCI slots and one PCIe slot or four PCIe slots and one PCIe2 slot? What options do I have for video cards that are 512MB or larger? I have some games that I would love to turn on all of the effects to the highest quality, Quake 4 being one of them. Thanks in advance!!Ooops, my bad, so there are only two different options? And they are both 512MB? I don't really see anything that says 512MB of VRAM or anything for the Radeon. ATI is now owned by AMD. It seems they may just discontinue Mac support. I don't want be stuck with another unsupported card. Last time was with the VooDoo 64MB card that came out for Mac when I had a G3. 3DFX went out of business shortly after.
Quadro 4500 FX and the ATI Radeon X1900 XT? Both are 512MB, is one brand better than the other? Is there anything bigger? I have recently read a lot of reviews of the Radeon cards over heating. I would like to get something better if possible and prepare to not have to upgrade again so soon. Also nVidia has these other Quadros on this page:

Are none of the others in this list compatible? They are all PCIe. Is it just because there are no drivers? -
Which pci express Fire Wire card uses TI chipset?
Hi all
could anyone tell me which PCI express Fire Wire 400 card uses the Texas Instruments chip set? Have been looking all over but could not find one so far.
All help welcome on this one!I use an Aaxeon, but there are many others, including SiiG, Nitro etc.

I have a macbook and have just bought logic express 8. I was going to get a Tascam US122L usb interface and a couple of pre-amps, but I have read horrible reviews about it especially saying it doesn't work with Leopard. I've read good things about Presonus Firepod but it's expensive at $429. Please can people reply and tell me which audio interfaces they are using succesfully with Leopard and Logic Express 8? Thanks!
The FirePod does present with problems and is for a lot of stuff going on. Is that what you really want? I have seen the sister of the FirePod, the FireBox, for as little as $249 or, with a free headphone or mic, for $299. I am using it with great success now and I had so many problems with it those problems were not MY fault! Now, I am more confident. The FireBox is great and, should you want to keep in touch with me as a helping hand (we could help each other as well!), we could do that.

What kind of PCI slots do I have?
Can anyone tell me an easy way to check and see what kind of PCI or PCIX slots I have on my system without opening it up?
I have a dual processor 2.0, the one that came with four Ram slots and an ATI Radeo 9650.
Thanks!If you check this label it will show which type of slots you have

Which audio interface should I pick?
So I recently purchased a brand new MBP, and am pleased to discover that my Tascam US-122 that I have been working with for the past 8 years (and four computers) has finally stopped being compatible with my computer. That, then, gives me the task of purchasing a new interface.
The last major recording project I did, I tracked drums on a Presonus Firestudio Tube, and I loved it. I'm willing to make the investment in a heftier interface, with more audio inputs and (obviously) a higher price tag, but I am caught in the question of whether to get a FireWire or USB interface. I have heard different upsides and downsides about the two of them. Personally, at this point, I am more inclined to go with a FireWire interface, as it leaves me with both of my USB ports (which I use for a mouse and midi controller while recording), and I have never had latency issues with FireWire (even on a 4-year old MacBook).
So now, I am asking for input. I am not brand-specific or anything like that. I just want one that works, sounds good, and won't give me trouble.There is no way to answer your question. You need to look at what you will be running and then select the computer that will be the best for those applications.

K8N Diamond Plus. Which PCI slot for Adaptec 39320
Hi
I understand the Orange slot is not sharing resources with the other PCI slots.
Would this be best for my RAID card (its a 64bit RAID card going into a 32bit slot) or would it not work at all?
thanks
CharkerCharker,
You will have to contact MSI Tech Support on that one, that question has crossed my mind to whether that is a full function PCI slot or not. It is the only open PCI slot if you have a Graphics Card in the Secondary x16 slot. If it is full function PCI slot, the only thing I know of that stop you using your 64-bit Controller in it are two Caps that may get in the way of the card over hang.
Burmo,
You should know your subject before you make comments like that on the Forum. Most all PCI 64-bit I/O cards will auto sense the slot type they are plugged into and adjust the interface to fit the slot capabilities. Only problems using a 64-bit PCI card in a 32-bit PCI slot is you loss interface bandwidth and there maybe physical components mounted behind the 32-bit slot that will not allow the PCI 64-bit card to be inserted.
Luckily I have communicated with Charker enough, that I do not think you statement would have steed him wrong, but someone with a low level of computer knowledge, you could have cost him/her a lot of money. Those Controller cards he is talking about cost two or three times what the Diamond Plus motherboard costs. Next time research you answers before you make it, if you not sure and if you do not know do not comment.

When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings. It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it. -
I spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.
Charging cords are covered by the iPhone warranty or their own warranty
if puchased separately. Take your iPhone and the cords to your local
Apple store for evaluation and possible replacement. -
I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??
Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables. -
When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.
Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?
WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try -
Hi - I recently purchased a new iMac. I have a registered cs5 design premium package which is an upgrade - I have no disc for cs4 but have the qualifying serial number for it. I have installed cs5 via download onto my iMac but it is not accepting the serial number. Can anybody help. Does anybody else think that Adobe will loose a lot of customers by not providing any chat or call support for cs5 users??
You can support serial number and activation support.

i use a macbook pro which came with facetime i have an iphone 4S as well. whenever i use the wireless on my iphone i can facetime with ease however when i use the same wireless for my mac to facetime the call always gets disconnected.
To use factime on your Mac, I believe you will need to use your email address to do so instead of your wireless number. Since you can't make calls on the Mac.
