MSI K7T pro

Recommended Posts

Just (this time privately) played around with a new system - a little bit cold/warm

 

 

MSI K7T pro

Thunderbird 750

Coolermaster cooler

Adaptec AHA2940AU (ultra)

2 x Infineon SDRAM 128 MB 133 / 2-2-2

ELSA Erazor x2 (Geforce256, DDR)

Plextor 40x CD-Rom SCSI

Yamaha 16/6/2 Burner SCSI

Seagate 8 GB DAT streamer

IBM Deskstar 75GXP, 30 GB 7200/UDMA100

CL SB Live player

D-Link DFE530-TX NIC

Logitech Cordless Mouseman pro

DTK 300Watt PS

 

uuuh...that´s it

 

W2k pro

VIA 4in1 x.25a

Creative Liveware3

Office 2k premium

Visual Studio 6.0 prof.

SQL 7.0 Client

Logitech Mouseware 9.0

Nvidia drivers 6.18

 

System seemed a bit unstable, hung three times during W2k setup - funny.

 

Creative Liveware3 always tells me by an icon in the taskbar, there are new drivers / upgrades and when i go to 'update now' i get an error

 

And 3D apps let me crash, 3Dmark within 2 minutes, even 3d screensavers. Haven´t tried something else of that kind yet

 

I tried all memory settings, 100/2, 133/2, 100/3, 133/3, still...not crappy, but a little bit unstable.

 

Any ideas about any of my concerns?

 

Are there some special BIOS settings you would take care of?

What about the new VIA drivers - good or bad remarks?

 

Thanks for your advice and have fun

And - just to add this - the DMZG-demo doesnt start any more. I just get a glimpse of the screen - about a quarter of a second, and then it´s off again :-(

 

Have (more) fun (than I do)

Oh,just crashed a few times while copying files, nothing serious;-)

 

But to be honest... no problems anymore: Going with AOpen AX3S and PIII 733@825 - absolutely flawlessly, no driver probs, no problem at all. Not often seen such a problemless installation (and we build a few thousand systems a year) and it 'feels' like the big brother of the (though fast) Thunderbird - brutal force was my first thought when I started working with it. Amazing!

 

It´s a shame that a good CPU like Athlon has such a lot of crap around to sit in - nothing but probs with VIA!

 

Have fun
