Will A MS6728-Neo2 FIS2R support a 3.4 CPU? Will I feel the difference outside of my Wallet :)

Hey Guys, I'm thinking of upgrading. Will my MSI 6728 - 865PE Neo2 FIS2R support a 3.4 Cpu i.e.   3.4EE or 3.4 Northwood.

hmmm, i "upgraded" from a 2.8c to a 3.2(c) 800FSB. since you want 3.4GHz i dont know what the difference is there, even though i have mine oc'ed 24/7 to 3.6GHz.
well, i notice almost no difference i games. and since thats everything i do with my machine, besides some surfing the internet or some work for uni it wasnt worth the extra cash.
but it feels good to have it anyway. every benchmark gives you higher scores and overclocking has become a little easier since i dont have to crank up the FSB that much compared to my old 2.8c aka, its more stable @ higher speeds - and i can use some PC3200 memory without having to fear that it will hold me back.
so, its really up to you. when you game alot you wont find any improvements and you should save your money. but if its benchmark scores what you're after, or you want some safe overclocks in the 3.6 - 3.8GHz region, then 3.x P4s are the way to go.
another advantage even if its little is, that you can use LL memory, because you dont need PC3700 or faster stuff.

  • I have both the iPad 2 and the iPad 4. Which picture will best demonstrate the difference between the Retina screen and the normal one?

    So i have both the iPad Retina and the iPad 2. I am yet to be convinced that there is a difference between the quality of the pictures on the two screens. They all look the same to me. Suggest a picture which will best demonstrate the difference that a Retina is infact a much much better screen.

    Look at the status bar, like where the word "iPad" appears in the upper left.
    Or...
    Look at the Calendar icon on the home screen.

    Numbers will do the calculations, but it doesn't read minds.
    The formulas shown in my previous post assume a table arranged like the example below:
    The results in the bottom three rows (Apr, May and Jun) are correct for the simple formulas given and for the data entered in the Amount column as the empty cells are evaluated as containing zero. In practice, you would want a formula that suppressed the calculation until something was entered in that row of the Amount column. That's easy enough to add, should you think doing so will be useful.
    But it won't make Numbers read your mind.

  • 1.7 ghz vs 2.0 ghz will I notice the difference?

    I am looking into getting a Macbook Air and I was wondering if I would be able to tell the difference between 1.7 ghz and 2.0 ghz. I plan on using the laptop for pretty general stuff like homework and the occasional video editing the final cut pro.Both models I am looking at are i7's with 8gbs of ram. Any information will help.
    Thanks,

    8gig regardless of RAM, on general things you will not notice a difference, no.
    Youd see about 15% on heavy photo and vid editing applications

  • Different i5 processors in MBA and MBPR - Will I notice the difference?

    Trying to decide between 13"MBA and 13" MBPR (both will come with 8G and 128 storage).  I notice the i5 in MBA is rated1.4GZ, boost to 2.7Ghz and the i5 in MBPR is 2.6GHZ boost to 3.1 GHZ.  Will I notice a difference?  I am struggling with the purchase decision.  This is my first Mac purchase.  Machine will be used for family including 2 middle schoolers, so used for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, internet, hobby level iMovie and iPhoto.  Machine will largely stay home.
    The only other differences I see is the HDMI port on MBPR (can't decide if I would use, but seems like it would be handy if making movies and storing photos) and the display, but not sure I will really see a difference.
    Any thoughts?  As configured the price difference is about $160.

    The MBP is faster than the MBA, you will notice.
    128GB is very little, I would reconsider that.

    I am wondering if I will notice a difference between the i5 processor or i7 when it comes to working with photoshop and lightroom.
    I work with a 27' iMac already in the studio and at school so, no need for getting a large bulky laptop.
    Thats why I am interested in the size of a portable 13'

    Yes.

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum supports which Athlon CPUs?

    Pardon my ignorance, but I find this confusing:
    Supports up to 3500+, 3800+ Athlon 64 FX 53, or higher CPU
    Does the K8N Neo2 Platinum support Athlon 64 3500+ and 3800+, and NOT the 3700+? Does it support CPUs in the 4000 range? It would be easier to understand if msi just listed each CPU that this board supports.
    This board is well-recommended, but I was actually considering the Athlon 3700+ for price/performance reasons. It's only $20 more than the 3500+, it's supposed to be easy to overclock, and it's way, way cheaper than the 3800+. But if the board doesn't support the 3700, I'll get the 3500.

    that's because that info is released when the mobo is released. future upgrades are done through BIOS, and you will find additional information about added CPU support in the BIOS descriptions on the site.

  • When will be able the iPhone 5's shipping to Colombia and anywhere outside United States?

    I mean, I want to buy the iPhone 5 contract-free, because here in Colombia any service provider sells it without a contract. So, what can I do?

    Make a trip to the US & you can purchase at any Apple store. Apple will not mail the phone outside of the US.

  • Will I notice a difference?

    If I choose the 2.8 GHz processor instead of the 2.53, will I notice the difference when using the MacPro 15" laptop?
    Will I notice an increase in heat from the higher processor?
    2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo to an even faster 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

    I went with the 2.53GHz because in my estimation that is the machine at the perfect price point. Lots of processing power/memory/hard drive for the best price. You're going to end up paying a premium for the 2.8 upgrade and only receive a small increase in performance. Plus by upgrading to the 2.8 your warranty is going to change from the stock machine to a CTO. Meaning if something is defective, it will be repaired instead of replaced. For instance if I found something was wrong with MBP when I first bought it, I could have walked into the apple store and get it replaced. If I opted for the 2.8, it would have had to be sent in for repair. They could have replaced it then, but it would take time to configure a new one, either way its too much for too little

  • Will Geil Ultra Platinum DDR533 ( 2 x 512 MB ) Work On My 865PE-Neo2-FIS2R

    Hey Guys,
    Will Geil Ultra Platinum DDR533 ( 2 x 512 MB ) Work On My 865PE-Neo2-FIS2R ??
    How Much Will It Overclock Approximately Only When D.O.T Enabled ??
    How About Geil Ultra Platinum DDR500 ( 2 x 512 MB ) ??

    ok, if you're planning on buying 533 ram , it would prob be a waste to use DOT.. manually OCing will give you best results.. DOT will DEF not use Geil's full potential or even half the speed it shoudl run at.. the DDR 533 should work fine with your board, and if it doesnt just return it.. but should work ok.. i have PC 4000 (DDR 500) now and it works great.. runs fine with 865PE..
    DOT is not an exact overclock.. it fluxuates.. i thnk the highest you can get out of DOT is 15%?? (correct me if im wrong).. i dont know how big your CPU is, but that would mean if it were mine (3.0C) mine would go up to 3.45 MAX, and it wouldnt even styay there, it would fluxate, depends on CPU load and programs..
    with maunal overclock, you could OC your CPU up to 1.33 times what is is
    so FOR EXAMPLE: 3.0ghz ---> 4.0ghz
    now, i couldnt do this without some heavy duty cooling, but the ram could do it just fine.. kep that in mind...

  • Does Promise 20378 on FIS2R support HD 120G?

    Will Windows XP and Linux(Probably Mandrake or SuSE) recogonize a Western Digital 160JB HD correctly in terms of size and functionality on my Neo2 FIS2R raid EIDE connector or the other two EIDE connectors? If nobody try it, any one knows the detail support specification of Promise 20378 chipset? Thanks a lot!!!

    Just remember to set your LBA mode to "On" or 1 for HDD above 137GB.

  • 865PE Neo2 FIS2R

    Hello all. I've searched the forums and read alot of posts about my problem, but seem to be missing the information I am looking for. Let me tell you what is going on. I have the MSI 865PE Neo2 FIS2R mobo ver 1, P4 3.0 800FSB, 1 gig corsair twinx XMS 3200 CL2. My problem is when I try to use this RAM my system will not start. No Post, nothing and the D-bracket shows me memory error code. If I use a strip of crucial from my other PC everything works fine (the crucial is 333mhz at 512mb, cl3). I checked out the RAM compatability report on the MSI site and it was pretty confusing to me. I guess my question is, is my RAM compatible or is there a work around to using the XMS modules?
    Other components are as follows:
    ATI Radeon 9800XT (256)
    48xCD-RW
    80gig WD drive (PATA)
    431w Enermax PSU
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Dink,
    great to see someone who has the same config as I have.
    My System:
    865PE NEO2 FIS2R (Bios 1.8)
    CORSAIR TWINX1024-3200C2PRO
    ATI Radeon 9800XT
    My system is running very stable with Ram-Settings at 2-3-3-6-8 in Turbo/Sergeant. Pls set your timings to these values. This should work.
    Now a question to you. I have problems with the ATI 9800XT cards.
    1) Do you also see stuttering or lags when running 3DMark2001SE? With ATI 9800XT Reference Cards I experience these lags also in the overlay mode and in Games when turning very fast (egoshooters). You can see what I mean when you install this little tool which changes the background of your WinXP desktop to a psychedelic wormhole: http://www.geisswerks.com/drempels/index.html
    After you start this funny tool. Watch out for your desktop. If it isn't runnin 100% smooth you have the same problems as I have. The only 9800XT card which isn't causing this stuttering is the ASUS 9800XT. Could you pls. tell me if you also see these lags? You can increase the stuttering by copying some files from Dir1 to Dir2.
    These lags have no impact of benchmark results!
    2) Pls could you tell me what's the IRQ of your card? 16? Is it shared with the USB Controller?
    3) Who is the manufacturer of your card? Ati itself or Hercules, HIS or Saphire??
    If you cannot see this stuttering I would bet you have a ASUS.

  • 865PE Neo2 -FIS2R POST problem

    I'm having a problem with my newly built system and hoped that someone here might be able to help.
    I am using the 865PE Neo2 -FIS2R motherboard with a 3.0Ghz P4 800Mhz FSB and a single 512MB Value Select Corsair RAM (DDR 3200, 200/400Mhz).  The installed Video Card is a Leadtek Geforce3 Ti.  There are no other expansion cards installed.  There is no HDD.
    When I power on my PC, I hear 2 short beeps, a pause, and then 8 short beeps.  I'm also not getting any video.  I looked up the beep codes on the AMI Bios web page.  2 beeps for video card issues and 8 beeps for memory issues.
    I think the d-bracket is a great touch, so I check out its LED indicators.  It shows the pattern denoting a memory issue.  The only other RAM module I have laying around is a single generic PC 2100 266Mhz module.  So, I pop it in.  When I power on the system I get the same beep codes and LED configuration on the d-bracket.
    Are the MSI Neo2 boards extremley picky about RAM?  Should I be using two modules as per the RAM population table in the manual?  Is there a recommended brand/model of RAM?  Is there anything else I should be looking at as the cause?
    I plan on picking up some different RAM modules over my lunch break today but before I did I wanted to check with those who know before I blow money on them.
    Thanks for any help/advince.

    KevinS,
    Sad to say but there are some Corsair RAMs are known for instability problems with MSI mobos, especially the Low Latency RAM with the NEOs and NEO2s. That's why MSI has to test the RAMs to make sure that there is a list of confirmed and compatible RAMs for the mobo.
    Pheng,
    This AVATAR is better than the last one, at least it's not the 3X rated type... but I'll put an NC-16 PG for it hehehe... . Another thing is that I did not say that I hate the previous AVATAR at all... lol... Just feel that it is unsuitable for a tech forum where people from all over the world in all age and genders will be visting and viewing the threads. I hope you understand the suitation here .

  • 865PE Neo2-FIS2R and Geil memory problem

    With 512MB (2x256) of Corsair XMS 3700, the system is perfectly stable (runs 24/7 crunching for UD, also have done Prime95 torture test).
    With 1-GB (2x512) of Geil PC4000 Ultra Platinum, the system is very unstable.  It usually won't even boot fully into Windows without a BSOD (which vary) or if it does get into Windows it crashed soon thereafter.
    If I put the Corsair memory back in (like I have them right now, to be able to use the system to post this message), the system is back to 100% stable, so it seems to be entirely a memory-related problem.
    MSI 865PE Neo2-FIS2R (MS-6728)
    Intel P4 2.4C 800FSB (HT enabled) @ 3.19-GHz
    AVC Sunflower 2 HSF
    420-W PS
    Windows XP Pro SP1a
    BIOS settings:
    Dynamic OC Disabled
    Performance mode Slow
    DRAM Freq 266
    CPU Bus 266
    DDR Clock 354
    AGP/PCI 67/34
    CPU vCore 1.6000
    DDR volts 2.70
    AGP volts 1.50
    SPD Disabled
    3-4-4-8, 4 burst
    Have run MemTest standard test on the Geil modules individually and as a pair, and have tried different slots.  Testing thus far shows no errors when each module is installed separately, but when used in a pair there are sometimes errors shown.
    Have tried the modules in slots 1,3 and slots 2,4 with no difference.
    Have tried setting DDR voltage from 2.70 up to 2.85v for the Geil (approved up to 2.9v) with no apparent change in stability.
    Have tried changing Spread Spectrum setting between enabled and disabled.  Disabled seems to be better, but problem remains.
    Have tried using SPD disabled with settings listed above, and SPD enabled (which sets timings at 2.5-4-4-8,8).
    Edit: I'd asked for advice, but then realized that the very limited timeframe in which I could return the Geil would expire if I waited beyond business hours today.  So I've RMA'd the Geil and have ordered a 1-GB Corsair TwinX XMS 3700 pack instead.

    I've had similar problems to you but with Corsair TwinX LL's and if you read back a month in this forum you will see others have also with various memories on the 865 FISR.
    The fix I found was Kingston memory but others have had problems with Kingston.    There was a thread running a week or two ago attempting to document successful memory mobo combinations.
    Bottom line, stick with what works on your mobo until MSI fix the incompatability/instability issues.

  • 865PE NEO2 FIS2R memory problem

    I have this 865PE NEO2 FIS2R with a 3ghz northwood (512K cache, 800 fsb).
    initially I bought a 1GB Geil PC3500 DDR dual channel kit. installed those into slot 1 and 3, installed windows...during install I would get blue screens. recently I bought a new PC-3700 DDR dual channel kit (industry standard generic stuff). I bought those cause the place I got it from claimed it works on the i875 NEO FIS2R. I figured if it works on the 875P, it should work on the 865PE. with the new memory I get blue screens a tad more often.
    I tried both geil sticks again this time as single channel in slots 1 and 2 (Ch. A). I still got blue screens. I did the same with the new PC-3700 RAM, blue screens with that too.
    I took those sticks out, and tried 1 Geil PC-3500 stick in slot 1, no blue screens.
    Whats the deal here? shouldn't dual channel memory work as dual channel in a dual channel board? WHy can't I use 2 sticks of the same RAM in this board!
    is it just incompatiable with geil dual channel? If so what about the PC-3700 RAM I tried as dual. I am thinking about trying a set of OCZ dual channel RAM, but I feel I already got $400 worth of RAM I can't use, I don't really want to waste another $200 if this is just a crappy board.
    I'm thinking of just getting the new Asus with the SiS 655TX chipset, supposed to be faster anyway. 2 sticks of RAM would most likely work in that board.
    I really don't want to spend anymore money on this though...I spent enough.
    the specs:
    P4 3ghz northwood
    865PE NEO2 FIS2R (with updated 2.3 bios)
    Chieftech 650 watt Power supply 36A, 36A, & 32A
    BFG geforce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB (also tried an old geforce 2 mx 32MB)
    memory tried: 1GB geil PC-3500 dual channel kit & 1GB generic dual channel kit
    3com Network interface card
    WD 120GB SE hard drive
    Plextor 8X DVD-RW drive
    Lite on 16X DVDROM drive

    This problem is not yet solved....
    I tried increasing the ram voltage to 2.8v, it ran fine for about 3 days...then boom..restart
    I am seeing other people are having the same problem with these 865/875 boards.
    after raising the ram voltage didn't work I tried unplugging all of my extra hard drives 1 by 1 with the memory set to 2.7v.
    I am at the point where I have only my boot drive connected with the two DVD drives.
    But I am still thinking its my power supply...that power supply caculator page says I need a 519 watt PS?? I have a true550 which is only 530 watt max.
    If I do need to add 20% to the power calculated, I would need a 622 watt PS???
    I am running speedfan now....how low is the voltages ok to drop to?
    the +12 dropped to 11.19, max is 11.80
    the rest of the voltages are staying more or less constant .
    Oh yea, on occasion the nb fan stops, I get a warning in corecenter saying 0 RPMs.
    Also I can't set the fans to high speed, 6000RPM for the nb, and 5000RPM for the CPU.
    If I set corecenter to user, and move the slide up to 8, the max is only 3375RPM for the CPU and 3750RPM for the NB fan.
    Also every once in awhile the power LED on my case will go out while the system is running.
    But thats been doing that for awhile now!
    I'm thinking I will connect up my other hard drives again and run this speed fan program again.
    update:
    I reconnected my drives, ran speed fan, noticed it stops responding after 10 min...I get an error saying smbus cannot be scanned...or something like that.
    Also I've got errors when downloading saying I have no ports available. it sounds like the bus is shutting down??
    This is not the only MSI 865PE NEO2 FIS2R I have ran into problems with
    it looks like I will be getting a new board next week....either an Asus or Abit.
