I am strongly considering building myself a new box and making the switch
from 98 to xp. Is there a list of moterboards (or any other hardware) that
works best in running paris on XP. I will only use this computer to run
Paris. And if I have a system with 2 eds cards, one mec, one c16, is it
worth it for me to switch to XP ?
I rarely have projects with more than 32 tracks.

Thanks,

Steve L.

A bit hard to find these days, and a bit "old school", but they are still
out there.
Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939. Works like a charm with XP and 4 EDS cards, and
two dual-head Nvidia VGA's.
I Highly recommend it. No problems with IRQ's etc, just plug in
all cards, and install XP. Easy.

Really? I've been waiting for you to give this mobo your blessing. Last post
I saw from you about it, the jury was still deliberating. So it's good then?

Thanks,

No problems with IRQs? What fun is that? Is 4 the most Paris can go before
a Magma chassis is needed? So how are the IRQs on the Magma again with 8
eds cards? It has one PCI interface card that goes in the host pc and it
uses 2(?) irqs and the chassis shares those two across the 8 cards? How
does that work?

Thanks,
John

OH YEAH!
The most stable Paris box I've had.
No need to massage Paris XP into working either. It just
worked with, as I said, all cards in place, and installing XP,
letting it's own IRQ assignment do its stuff.
Only using SP1, though. Haven't needed SP2.

Hi John.
Never used a Magma. I reckon you could probably even get 5 EDS's
working, but I need 4 monitors, so one of the pci slots has a
Nvidia Quadro in it.

Ahhhh.....HA!!! ....sooooo....... you're using 4 monitors as well? I missed
that. What kind of dual heads are you using? GEForce 5500's?
BTW, your foray into wretched exess and componentry sluttage has made me
proud.

Hi, DJ.
They are the original Quadros. (NVS 280 I think..)
Would have to check. Got them some time ago on ebay for next to
nothing. These are/were available in PCI and AGP.
Yes, sluttage is good!

Steve.
An Antec true-power 350 watter. I pulled it from an Antec Sonata
case that I bought for Paris, but the damn box wouldn't accomodate the full
length EDS cards.

DJ.
Also forgot to mention that Paris doesn't stop playing when
moving windows across screens with these cards.
My pair of Matrox 450's used to. (that may have been a win98
issue though...)

No-name 768mb. (not running dual-channel).
I think one of them is A-data.
As far as the video cards go, there are heaps on eBay, but
make sure you get the right splitter cables for your needs.

Hey Kim,

Maybe if you get time, you could just post the whole config on this computer
that works so well with PARIS? I'm a Mac guy, but have been toying with
building a PC for PARIS. Anyway, being a stupid Mac guy, I need all the
details you can spare. It might also save you from having to give everyone
your config, one post at a time. ;>)

Tony

Looking on the NVIDIA website, these cards only seem to have XP Drivers, true?

I'm trying to decide whether to go to XP or stay on 98. Except for large
HD support (>137GB), I can't see a reason to make the jump. This might be
one more reason.

My PARIS machine is dedicated to PARIS.

Hi, Rich.
Sorry, your post slipped under the radar.
I was running these cards under win98 prior to switching to XP
earlier this year. Drivers are available.

Hi Kim,

No problem. All I could find on the NVIDIA site was an XP driver. Do I
use the same driver for 98? Should I try PNY's website (PNY is the manufacturer
of the card, right)?

I'm going to try to pick up a couple of these cards. I just got some nice
new 1600x1200 LCD for my PARIS computer, so it would be nice to drive them
with the DVI input. I'm using Matrox G450s now (one AGP and one PCI).

Nvidia have a unified driver for win98. It supports all Nvidia
GPU's. It's called "forceware".

http://www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_53.04

One thing. Some of these cards come with Splitter cables.
(The connector on the card drives two seperate monitors via a
breakout cable). If this is the case, make sure you buy cards
with the splitters included. Also these come in either analog
or DVI. Do a little research before bidding.

Thanks for the info Kim. I went and got the driver.

I noticed that most of these cards come with the analog splitter cable.
Only the PCI-e version seems to come standard with the DVI. Without the
DVI I can't see how it's better than my Matrox G450 (for PARIS). I'll keep
looking.

Thanks,

Rich
