[SAM PUNK]

HEy.

Just build up my new DAW machine incl. an ATHLON 64 BIT 3200+ - GIGABYTE K8NF-9 incl. a nforce4 chipset!

I use a SCOPE PROF. Card and run SX 3.01 with XTC MODE !!!

IT WORX GREAT !!! More Performance than my old ASUS P800 Deluxe!!!

NO Problems!!!!

Great Sam!

Very interesting, I'm looking forward to get such a solution...

Now, if you could perform a Masterverb test, to see how many of them can you load before you get pci overflow error message, that would be great, as it is a sort of motherboard's pci bus test that became a standard here...

Thx for the info, and welcome to Planet Z !

P.S. Just try it in Standard mode, in the routing window, without Cubase on...

okay.. worked the night through... I tested it with over 22 TC Native Reverb and over 12 SCOPE REVERB's - no problem.

I use STANDARD MODE - but on my 2nd machine the same system works with ACPI Mode fine too.

I disable all COM, LPT, Firewire, Floppy-Functions - and USE only USB 1.1.

On my GIGABYTE Board is a hidden PROF.-BIOS-Part - reachable with CTRL+F1 - here you can tune the PCI bus - and you can choose between ACPI or PIC mode.

AND never use the Firewire (IEE 1394) Port. On the nforce4 boards this ports only crash!!!

AND never use S-ATA - only IDE. S-ATA kills all the power on the PCI Bus!!!

AND tune your fucking XP to the MAX!!!

AND use the latest PCI-Express driver for you r GRAPHIC Adapter - I use the MSI NX-6200.

AND install Direct-X 9.0c

DON't use SP2!!

Thats all...
