Your first link doesn't work and the second one doesn't list the Venice cores. I'm going to guess that they got pulled in a hurry. Still, maybe we'll see them soon on this side of the pond.
Yeah they got pulled :( I posted on about three forums, so I think they noticed a huge surge in traffic lol. Never mind, they cant be long. The manin benefit being support for SSE3 and a improved memory controller which allows all four dimm slots to be filled with double sided ram @ full speed +1T.

Nothing. The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life. If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

Venice Core is Available at newegg...New Bios Needed For It?

Most of you prolly saw this already, but the if not the venice core is out on newegg for 275.00. Anyone know if these work in the Nforce 4 or do you need a bios update? Any updates on this would be great....thanks!

I have the venice 3800+ and corsair twinx pc4400(tccd) which runs at stock frequency of 275. currently it is sitting @250, if i even attempt to bump it up one notch it fails to boot!
your not going to tell me that between stability at 2.75ghz and 2.76ghz its hitting a wall and totally unstable?
Yes actually, I am. My 3200+ does the exact same thing whenever I try to get it to run at or above 2500 MHz...no amount of tweaking or extra voltage will keep it stable. Despite this fact, it is rock solid at my standard overclock of 2464 MHz, which is *very* close to its unstable point of 2500 MHz. It's not the board that prevents me from getting past 2.5 GHz, it's the chip itself...it just doesn't want to go that fast.

Sorry this is MSI bios issue, and remember no two chips are the same yet there are several folk on other websites that are in the same boat
as me falling down exactly at the same settings!
Yes, no two chips are exactly the same, but families of chips do tend to exhibit similar behavior, which is why most of the 90 nm Winchester chips overclock to about 2.5 GHz or so but almost never get higher than that. If you can cite instances where these chips that fail to run faster than 2.75 GHz are able to reliably exceed 2.75 GHz (and be stable) in other motherboards, then it would lend credibility to the idea that this is a MB/BIOS issue. Until then it is far more likely that the ceiling on the new chips is just right around 2.75 GHz.

Problem is not about max speed. Its about maks FSB. Even 4*275 it wont boots, like CBBID coded ones. But all other Mobos run quite stable 450*4 vith these CPU's.
All other mobos? Sorry, but the only MB's that support such a ludicrous FSB setting (i.e > 400 MHz) are all made by DFI...that hardly counts as all other MB's and makes the veracity of your statement quite questionable.
EDIT: and the more I read on other forums and review sites, the more evidence that I find for the theory that the chip family just hits a wall at abour 2.8 GHz and less support I see for the "BIOS is broken" theory. Many users report being able to get to about 2.7 to 2.75 GHz on stock voltage, and then report being stable at 2.8 or 2.85 GHz, but only at a *much* increased voltage (like 1.6V when the default is 1.4V). This implies that an internal hardware limitation in the chip itself is preventing it from scaling beyond about 2.75 GHz. Furthermore, there are user reports of attaining 2.8 GHz on a MSI Neo4, and 2.85 GHz on a MSI Neo2.

Minimum bios version for neo2 platinium+venice core?

That'll get the job done!
May have to order a Venice REAL soon....!
I had the worst Winchester ever - 3500+, 0437 VPMW, batch#0015, and it couldn't get out of it's own way. It needed 1.52v just for a 200Mhz OC - pathetic. Highest benchable speed was about 2675Mhz, with 1.68v...After getting frustrated enough to do something about, I decided on the 3000+ Venice. All I can say is this &%@#!!* thing is fast! I didn't think I was in for this big of a boost, but I can ride this puppy to 2500Mhz with stock vcore of 1.35 and take it to 2750Mhz totally Prime stable with 1.552v. The dfference is incredible, and not just in benchmarks and games- it just feels faster all around. I was lucky and got a decent OC'er, and the Neo2 helps too

Conclusion: Cannot get Neo2 stable w/ 512x4 DIMM @ DDR 400+ with Venice core!

You can read about my whole troubleshooting process here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85550.msg611686#msg611686
Basically to sum it up, BF2 freezes up when trying to run 512x4 ram 2T when using any speed above DDR 333. Seeing as how BF2 runs fine with 1 gig, and is is the only program I have that uses over 1024mb of ram at one time Im pretty sure its a hardware problem and not a software problem. Ive tried every voltage and every timing combination I can think of, reinstalled drivers, flashed different bios, and even reformatted XP just for the hell of it. The only stable configuration is using DDR 333mhz @ 2T. Unfortunately the performance hit is very noticable at this speed and not worth the added memory.
Im not yet sure if its just a limitation of the Neo2 motherboard, or if I have a buggy Venice core, or if its a PSU issue. Has anyone been able to run 2 gigs with the Neo 2 and a Venice core at or over 400 ddr? And if so could you provide details to your configuration and settings? It'd be much appreciated.
Also if anyone has an idea as to what the likely cause of the problem may be Im all ears as well. Thanks.

Thanks for clarifying for me JayBee. Im wondering if I have a buggy Neo2 because the Venice memory controller should be able to handle this. Or maybe its the chip. Whats so vexing is I have no way of telling which is exactly the problem child if I want to try and RMA either one.
As for the timings Ive tried 2.5-3-3-7 and 3-3-3-7, neither made a difference. I tried to go even looser with 3-4-4 and it wouldnt even post. Im running out of ideas.
Quote from: JayBee on 29-August-05, 13:09:43
The limitation (333 for 4 double sided dimms) applies to Newcastle and Winchester, although if you look at the thread Liverkick shows above, at least one person has achieved 400 speed with 4 dimms at 2T with Winchester.
And I still have trouble believing that one. Not saying he's lying but I have a feeling his DRAM settings may have been on auto 333mhz or he just misread. If a Winchester is really handling that much memory @ 400 DDR he should sell it on ebay as a special collectors item.

This is for people who wants to mirror all they apple devices when they travel.

this is for people who wants to mirror all they apple devices when they travel and don't want to unplug everything from the apple tv and take it with them, you can get the amazon fire tv stick and download an app called airplay upnp or the reflector app and mirror all of your apple devices to it, it is great for traveling easy to setup and move around, for example if your traveling and want to use it in the conference room and then want to take with you back to the hotel for the night and plug it in and keep on doing that routine.
it will be great to use hopeful until apple comes out apple with their own apple tv stick

The Verizon DVR is admittedly not the sharpest box on the market. I admit to giving up on the multi-room DVR product, it just never worked satisfactorily for me.
Hopefully features/functions issues will improve in the near term with the Cisco/Scientific Atlanta box that obviously isn't going to make Q1. I admit I have ceased holding my breath. Something does have to happen fairly soon because 160gb drives are literally going out of production.
You do however make two statements that incorrect. Current TiVO's only need 1 cable card, since the standard cable card today in Verizon's stock is the M-Card. You also have the option with TiVO of paying either an annual fee, or a one time fee, both of which are lower in the long term than the month to month fee. Alternatively you can by the Moxi DVR, and it includes lifetime service in the purchase price.
While in theory a truck roll costs $79, in practice if it is for a Cable Card install, it is free (I think FCC regulations preclude the charge).
Apparently there is nothing in Verizon's order processing system that tells reps that there is no charge for Cable Card installations, so they often quote the $79 fee because that is the standard charge for technician to come out. As far as I can tell (and there have been lots of posts about cable card installs), no one has in fact been charged the $79 fee..

Big problem using 512x4 dimm w/ Neo 2 (Venice core). At impasse, need advice.

Sorry for the semi-lengthly post but Im at the end of my rope here. Here's my issue.
I have a Venice core and recently added a new pair of 512 x 2 to my system. Same exact set of G. Skill DDR 400 dual channel to go with the original 512 pair Ive had. Running @ 2T w/ default SPD (200mhz 2-3-3-6) I tested Memtest 86+ over 50 passes with all four banks filled, as well as isolating the new pair by themselves for 12 hours which tested flawlessly as well. I also ran all four sticks overclocked (216mhz DDR 433) with 2.5-3-3-7 timings which passed both Memtest and Prime 95 for 10+ hours respectively with no error. Everything seems to be in shape.
Now my problem. I keep getting a nasty lock up every time I run Battlefield 2, the whole system becomes completely frozen and its followed by a nasty buzzing noise in my headphones. The timing of it varies greatly. Most often its been after 5 to 15 minutes of play but most recently its been locking up as soon as the server menu updates for some reason, without even loading up the actual game! I tried different drivers and reinstalled the game to no avail. Im pretty sure its directly related to the 512 x 4 configuration as going back to 512 x 2 the game runs without any trouble.
The very first time the game locked up Event Viewer said I had NFTS corruption as a result of the error. I ran chkdisk and some 3rd party diagnostic tools but nothing turned up faulty. Thinking perhaps it was a voltage issue I upped the memory to 2.75 v, yet the next freeze resulted in a BSoD. It said "Page Fault in Non Paged Area". Google brings up a ton of different results for that one so Im not sure what to make of it. Event Viewer called it category 102 event 1003.
I flashed the BIOS to 1.9 to make sure that wasn't the issue (it wasn't). Ive tried a lot of different settings in the Cell menu with timings, mhz and voltage. The longest without error (over 30 minutes before it finally froze) was at the default SPD w/ 2.65v. It always fails eventually though. No other game or application has given me a problem with all four sticks running at once. The thing is BF2 is probably the only app I have that actually uses over a gig of ram at one time though, so its hard for me to be sure its only a BF2 issue at this point.
I could really use some advice here as Im pretty much stuck at this point. If everything checks out in Memtest, would the next suspect be a power supply or motherboard issue? My PSU is a high quality PC Power and Cooling 470w but its gives me some funny sensor readings I have to admit. I never thought anything of them before since everything was stable until adding the ram but now Im wary. Everest diagnostic tool and the BIOS both report very different voltages, for example Everest says the 3.3 rail is only 3.07 v right now, whereas the BIOS says its at @ 3.15. Everest says the 12v rail is spot on @ 11.98 whereas the BIOS says its at 11.67 (yikes). Both agree the 5v rail is roughly 4.9 give or take. Im not sure if either one is right though, like I said this is the first time Ive had stability issues like this and before the ram Ive had my system overclocked and stable.

Thanks Bejon, Ill run it down 1 by 1.

- Do you get lockup´s running BF2 at cpu stock speed ? ( not talking about prime or memtest now. Your signature says OC from stock 2,2Ghz to 2,6Ghz which would mean something like 11x237, your post says memtest/prime 11x216 )
Yes, I still experience the BF2 lock up using stock setting for everything (CPU, multi, FSB, ram mhz, ram timing, voltage etc). I must've confused you with the 216 number, sorry about that. I meant to say my OC is 10x260 fsb using a 166 memory divider, which= 216 mhz for the ram (or DDR 433). This passed memtest and Prime 95 as well as stock, but BF2 still locked up with this setting. So basically overclocked or not, using divider or not... I still get the lockup.

- Did you actually test the 77.76 driver ( not just any differant driver ?)
Yes, tried drivers from the 72 set, 76, and the latest 77.77.
Quote
- Did your experiment with vcore, meaning for example startup 1.425v and cpu voltage +3,3% - still running at stock speed./ Maybe even try 1.6v for AGP.
1.425v +3.3% is exactly what I use for my overclock CPU setting and neither that nor the stock voltage make any difference. For some reason lowering RAM voltage to default (2.65v) seemed to result in going longer without error. I almost made it past 40 minutes thinking I solved the problem with this voltage but it finally caved in again.
Quote
- Did you install any patches ?
Yes BF2 is up to date.
Quote
- Another thing to check is if your Audio / LAN / VGA have some kind of IRQ or driver conflict.
I checked and it turns out I do have an IRQ with two assignments on it. IRQ 21 has both Nvidia Network Bus Enumerator and Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller assigned to it. I have no idea what this means though, perhaps someone can shed light if its a potential root of the problem.
Also whats confusing me is the fact that sometimes when BF2 locks up with 512 x 4 it happens just loading up the server menu, not even loading game data into ram yet!
Quote
I ask these specified questions because I´m running BF2 flawless on another Neo2 system without any hickups with bios 1.8 and a Winchester+Venice stock speed 4 x 512 RAM (3-4-4-8 )and a 6600GT.
Thats kinda surprising to me with a Winchester because from what I understood only Venice/San Diego had the memory controller capable of running 512x4 @ 400+ mhz DDR. Sounds like you got a great chip!
Well thanks for your kind feedback Bejon, sorry if I came off a little snappy before. Im just very frustrated right now. Im going to try and reformat tomorrow just in case its somehow OS/IRQ related. If that doesn't work then Im really stuck. Also if someone can point me in the right direction in how to test my PSU for errors/bad rails Id really appreciate it.

New 939 Venice core, how will compatibilty be handled? (Neo2 Platinum)

Im still debating if I should hold out for the new Venice core thats coming out before I order the components to my new system. Since I have to stick with AGP Im defnitely going with the Neo2 for my 939 solution no matter what. If I do decide to wait and get the newer core instead I assume it wont be compatible out of the box? How does that work exactly, do you just download a new BIOS and go from there or is it more complicated than that? Whats the usual time frame before the kinks are worked out?

Okay, a bit off topic, but here's a news thingy from e-trade that I get because I own AMD stock:
Quote
UPDATE 1-Advanced Micro to launch dual chips early
April 08, 2005 13:28:48 (ET)
(adds confirmation, stock price, changes dateline from NEW YORK)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8 (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD,Trade) is expected to launch its new dual-core processing chips later this month, well ahead of schedule, a person briefed on the matter said on Friday.
The chips, with two cores that can operate independently, could be the biggest change in personal computer technology in a decade, industry watchers say. News of the introduction was first reported by CNET News.com.
Shares of AMD rose 90 cents, or 5.6 percent, to $17.09 on the New York Stock Exchange.
AMD's early unveiling of the new chips appears to put it ahead of rival Intel Corp. (INTC,Trade), which is working on a similar chip. AMD will introduce the chips at an event in New York on April 21, the person said. Intel has said will launch its first dual-core products in May.
AMD spokesman Phil Hughes declined to confirm the introduction date. "I'm not going to comment on anything that's unannounced to this point," he said.
Having approached the limits of speed gains with traditional chips, both semiconductor firms have moved to combine two chips onto a single piece of silicon. One chip, for instance, could process a television show while the other scans for viruses.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based chipmaker also is expected to announce its dual-core chips for personal computers will go on sale in June, it said.
Looks like AMD is doing the smart thing and pushing things up to keep Intel on its toes like it has been ever since AMD came out with the Athlon64.

So how's the MSI RS480M2-IL + Venice core CPUs now?

Hi,
I'm still thinking of building a system with the above combo, possibly with the Athlon 64 3200 (Venice core), and have been continuing to lurk here. Now that the Venice core CPUs have been out a couple of weeks, what is everyone's opinion of this combo? Have all problems been resolved at this point, or are there still outstanding "gotchas"?
I would be building this system for a relatively non-technical person, and will probably get Windows XP Home for now. The main reason I'm thinking AMD 64 (vs. Sempron or Athlon XP) is that I want to leave some "headroom", i.e., whenever Longhorn gets here.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
The "new" problem I'm seeing reported with Venice core and RS480M2-IL is memory failure in using DIMM slots 1 and 2. I'm guessing the problem is tied to the new enhanced memory controller in the Venice core. Question is: Is this a fixable problem with Bios or a real bug with Venice. I'm hoping Bios. Using Slot 3 and 4 seems to work as a bypass.
In the mean time, I would use Winchester. It's proven to work.
Danno
BTW....delivered the system to my daughter and she's thrilled. Running game World of Warcraft at 1280x1024x32 and it's just stable as hell. All the testing and tweaking payed off.

Looking for software that allows you to make "who wants to be a millionaire". Must be able to put in your own questions and HAS to be for the Mac. Help!

I am a teacher who would love to create the game "who wants to be a millionaire" with my own questions. I would use this for test reviews. I can't not find something for the mac. It is out there for the PC, but my class room is mac based. I can't use anything that will allow me to run the mac in windows, either. Anyone know of a software that will allow me to input my own questions? Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Who wants to be a millionaire - uploading onto website

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to Adobe Captivate. I've created a Who wants to be a Millionaire game on Captivate 8 and would like to know exactly how I would upload it onto my webpage. I've configured it and created an HTML5 folder but am stuck on what next to do. Any help would be really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
Dan

For this interactive interaction the value of the score will be stored in the associated variable (do not forget to create it, will label it v_mil).
Failure means that you don't get the total score, right? And since you only want to retake at the end, I suppose that is on another slide? Then it is easy, you just have to make a 'button' visible on that slide if the score is lower than the total score. That can be done On Enter for that slide:
IF v_mil is less than v_total    you can put the exact total score here, or store that score in another user variable v_total
   Show Bt_Retake                 where that is the button that is initially invisible
ELSE
   Continue
The button has to trigger a simple action 'Jump to ...' to get back to the slide with the game, it will be automatically reset.

System.out.println("D: " + answer4);
System.out.println("Correct answer is answer number "+ correctAnswer);
public String getQuestion()
             return question;
ok those are the codes now the hard part is making the question appear on the _private JTextField jtfquestions;_ n then having the ans place on the _private JRadioButton jrba, jrbb, jrbc, jrbd;_ then if a correct ans is inputed the JList score should move up like the game itself
this is what it looks like GUI wise
