I have been using a Matrox P750 in my Cubase rig. I have not been really
happy with it. Sometimes the screen redraws have been very slow and overall
performance has sorta' sucked, even with all of the latest drivers and
Matrox bios. It just didn't seem to like Cubase SX/RME/UAD scenarios and I
was actually getting better performance out of my old G450.........but, I
need at least 3 x video displays or I will die. Anyway, I decided to bite
the bullet so I Ghosted my system image that included a working P750
configuration because it took me a whole day to get the damned thing
configured in the first place and I didn't want to lose all that
work............then I uninstalled the P750 drivers, the Powerdesk software,
then I also ran the downloadable Matrox utility that totally removes every
vestige of any Matrox code in the machine. Then I shut the machine down and
yanked the P750. I then installed the old G450 AGP, rebooted the machine,
then I installed the most recent Matrox G450 driver. It's a May 2006 version
for Win XP. After another reboot, the system was very stable feeling and
snappy and so I decided I needed to try a G450 PCI card too. Well, I had
another G450 PCI lying around here doing nothing but I cleaned out my office
last weekend and I had a whole bunch of old obsolete PCI cards, as couple of
dead CRT monitors and some other crap here and decided to consign it all to
the dumpster. I think I may have thrown the G450 PCI away when I dumped.
"BUMMER" says I..........$ooooooo , I decided to pull the old G450 PCI out
of my Paris rig and see how this would work in the Cubase rig. Well, it
works beautifully, and I mean *really better than it ever had in the past.
Now I'm gonna have to find myself another G450 PCI because if I don't have 4
x displays running on both Paris and Cubase simultaneously, I will die.
This is some good news. The previous solution that I had been sticking with
for the G450 was to use the generic G450 drivers in Win XP. They worked OK,
but not great and really maginal performance wise when using both a G450 AGP
and PCI card.
OK, that's all...............

Deej,
You REALLY do have a death wish, don't you.
It's time to stop tinkering and get on with life.
I've learnt the hard way, every time I start tinkering, (probably because I
have nothing else to do at the time, (that I want to do), I end up stuffing
the system and have to start again, this is on my home computer though, I
never touch the studio gear.
Keep up the good work though, your exploits certainly make good fun reading.
All the best,
--

deej,
relax it's just transference that started in your early teens with the

LOL!!!......well.......apparently the prudish Marvell Yukon LAN controller
was whispering to the IRQ's that it was sharing with two of my RME cards,
telling them to put the brakes on when my track counts got hot and heavy.
Disabling my LAN controller in the BIOS seems to have done the trick as far
as resolving any remaining moral issues with two of the three RMEs and now
they seem to be willing to *go all the way* any time I ask, without any
hesitation at all.
