Craig- You can download the NT drivers from In-Sync's web site: Http://www.in-sync.com/in.sync I think the file name is PVNIN202.EXE They also have variou NT sound card drivers I forget exactly where they reside, but they are there. You can also find the drivers on DPS' web site and FTP site.…
Any time!
The new boards should handle the 150 with no problem, and rumor has it that SuperMicro has a dual board in the design stages right now, so it may be available by the time MAX ships. John
You won't regret a SuperMicro motherboard. Extremely high quality. I have a older model- the P55-CWA. This was the series before the P55-CMx. I have never had a problem with the board, and even with async. cache it is FAST! I was one of the original threaders. John
Yes- I just E-mailed him about the voltage regulator heat sink that he used in your system. If I could do the same, then that will be the solution for me. I could use the PVR/daughterboard combo in the shared slot, lose the ISA (no big deal) and still have…
That is what I am thinking of doing at this point. My only problem would be the audio card. It is also full length and has no where to go. Just hope that a better solution comes along. John
Mike- I agree. In fact I questioned the DPS tech about how the cards would be held in place against the back of the CPU chassis. All he said was there was a way to secure it. Can't really picture this in my head though. Someone on here mentioned a…
Mike- If the slot riser actually work with no adverse side affrects they will actuallu solve a lot of problems with the cards fitting. I just don't know how well they will work. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what DPS recommends. John
Thanks Rick. I'll drop him a message and see if he can help me. I'll let you know. John
Thanks.
Rick- You must have the new SuperMicro board- the P55-CMx. Mine is the model before that series (P55-CWx). Do you have the name and/or phone number of who configured your system. I'd like to find out what kind of heat sink he/she used, because that would, in fact, solve my…
Mike- Thanks for the info. I will look into the Titan boards. Will it accept 3 full length PCI cards or only two. There are many motherboards out there that can accept two, its the third one that seems to be hard to find. Thanks again- John
#Can't fit cards
Message #191179
Terry- Thought maybe you could help me with this since you build systems with the PVR. I talked to DPS Tech support today and found out that their PCI audio board is going to be full length also. I can only manage two full length PCI cards on my SuperMicro…
Some motherboards have a "shared" PCI/ISA slot. It would seem to make sense to put the PVR/daughtercard in that slot since it would cause the loss of an ISA slot rather that a PCI slot. My motherboard has a shared PCI/ISA slot but its not the full length one- so…
#PCI riser adapter!?!?!?
Message #191044
I talked to DPS Tech support today and found out that their PCI audio board is going to be full length also. I can only manage two full length PCI cards on my SuperMicro mobo without losing the heat/sink fan combo. The tech at DPS mentioned adapters for PCI slots…
