Hi,
I just received a OCZ DDR Booster. I have a neo2. I had powered turned off, of course, plugged all power in and connectors to booster and the pig to power supply. When I boot up, no leds except an initial flash when power is initially applied to the board. I have two sticks in the lower two slots and the booster in the top one. Only way it could fit. I tried taking the top stick out and moving the booster down one slot and no dice. Is there something I'm doing wrong and is there anyway I can measure voltage on the booster to see if it's still working even though I'm not seeing any led indication?
Thanks in advance.

Does your PSU provide -5V ? Mine previous Enermax 370W didn't and I had the same problem. Now with Tagan everything is OK.
Nope, thanks for the answer. Might have to change PSU's. In the mean time I found the measuring point and just measured until I got my desired voltage. Might even just keep the PSU since I can measure with a DMM, which is probably more accurate than the display anyway.Quote:

You're welcome. :) It should work with your PSU because as far as I know -5V is used only for a display.
sideefect is the Com port disabled in 1.C3 beta..?
I wanted to put a serial cable on a cable modem and saw that my com port is not detected by Windows Xp..i tryed to install it mannually but i get Code 34 from windows troubleshooter..In bios there is not setting regarding Comport activation...Can anyone help me with this...This is the first time in my life when i have this problem with Comport..LOL
Its only disabled by default as most people dont use it and i was saving IRQ's ;)
To enable it go into bios then Intergrated Peripherals then I/O device configuration.
thx i didn't enter in that section :P..Thx for the tip..hehe
Hi
I've had this Neo2 for almost a year without an issue. The configuration has not changed since initial installation a year ago.
Yesterday, I flashed the bios and now, cannot get to the Win splash screen when the Promise IDE card is installed. It works fine without the card in it.
I have tried moving the card around , but to no avail.
Only the older bioses work with this card. Is there a solution or a modded bios for this issue?
I would like to go with a new cpu, not that there is anything wrong with the winnie..just that i am tired of it.

Its a bios issue you have to use either a pre 1.9 bios or 1.C3 beta bios as that fixes the issue. I suggest 1.C3 beta.Quote:

MSI Neo2 Platinum
A64 3000+ Winchester
2x256mb pc3200 ram from a Dell Dimension
Asus 6800GT
I don't plan on uograding anything at this point. I really only play HL2 and BF2 anymore. Maybe 1gb ram down the line. However, I am just looking to pick up a little performance in BF2 for now.
I have a really weird setup. I spent countless hours configuring before. My main issues are with my cpu and memory. Here are my maxes:
CPU-220x9 @ 1.23v or 265x9 @ 1.53v
Memory-220 2.5-3-3-10 1T
However, I can't get anything to work. When I run a divider, it seems I have to keep my memory below 175 or it won't even boot. I settled on a 133 divider with a 265 HTT which gives me roughly 173mhz memory. I would really like to improve my loading times though.
Do you have any suggestions to try? Also, what bios should I run.
Ram will help you most Blinkme323 512mb just isnt enough for battlefield 2. I'd go for some 2x1gb sticks if i were you.
I definately plan on picking up ram. I was looking at 2 Crucial 1gb sticks. I just don't want to do it right now because I am spending a lot of cash on an XBOX360 and am not a big pc gamer. I want to try and work with what I have for a little bit.
I picked up your modified 1.c3 bios sideeffect. Same thing, I can't boot in any dividers unless I am underclocking the ram by about 10%. The 133 divider doesn't seem too bad.
Right now I am running:
265 HTT
3x HT
9x CPU
133 divider
2-3-2-7 timings
1.51v cpu
2.7v ram
Its not that bad. If I can get the HTT up to around 270, it will give me a very good cpu speed for my processor, and my ram will be respectable if I can keep the timings low at 180mhz.
How much voltage should I give my Winni to be safe.
hey fellow neo2'rs.. i've just spent 11 hours so far working on this and am going bananas...im in dire need of some help.. heres the deal
i've done raid setups before with never this much hassle...
my IDEs
160 seagate 7200.7
120 seagate 7200.7
160 maxtor
sony dvdrw
The problem..
I have the BIOS setup correctly I believe and the onboard RAID control shows that I have a total of 220ish in raid 0 with the two seagate drives. I realize im wasting 40gb, but thats no big deal. Partion Magic 7 on a bootable cd shows that I have the maxtor and a 220gb drive. However, when trying to install xp or ghosting my previous installion, it only shows my orginal 160 with all the files still there! nothing got deleted. right now im formating the brand new 120 in ntfs with windows and will try again, but im not sure if this is gunna help anything...i've tried doing all the f6 and i dont get a "wrong driver error" it just goes back to insert disk which makes me think that its just not finding any extra storage hardware... I've googled by brains out with no luck so far and considering that most people are using SATA raid.
thanks for any input ya can lend, and also a special thanks to sideeffect...your latest release rocks :) the 150 divider is the :banana::banana::banana::banana:!
it turns out i missed some fine print...the manual says ide raid works for ata133 devices and both my seagates are ata100...i just wasted literally 20+ hours of work, 24 pack of mt dew, 2 packs of cigs... because i didnt RTFM!
LOL. Still just think of all the time you saved in the past from not reading the manual. Thats the way i look at it :p:Quote:

What's the lowest bios I can use to run a San Diego core? I think my winnie is flaking out so I just got a San Diego and that newegg 2x1 gig gskil special, but I want to use the "right" bios. I'm not using RAID and since I can't get stable at stock speeds right now, overclocking is not my priority. So what bios do I need just to get it running with the new cpu and mem?
On-Board IDE/SATA
• An IDE controller on the nVIDIA nForce3 Ultra chipset provides IDE HDD/CD-ROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66 operation modes.
- Can connect up to 4 IDE devices
• Supports 4 SATA ports. Transfer rate is up to 150MB/s
• NV RAID (Software)
• Supoprt up to 4 SATA & 4 ATA133 Hard drives
- RAID 0 or 1, 0+1, JBOD is supported
- RAID function work w/ATA133 + SATA H/D
Took that off MSI's website...so when it says the raid function works with ata133, I beleive that means it wouldnt work with ata100...I've never seen this on any controller before so could someone just point out the obvious to me. :)
It should work just fine with driver under ATA133 aswell.
any1 have so worst mobo that me. My mobo cannot run over 275mhz :( What i do wrong, or do i anything wrong?

For me it doesn't matter much anymore since I've sold my 1st gen. Neo2 and now have a shiny new Lanparty Ultra-D laying on my desk awaiting installation.
Just my $0.02. But I'll continue to read the thread just for curiosity
