Hi,
today, I tested some new mainboards and as long as I can say, the asus P5AD2-E Premium seems to be a stable and very fast board.
-nice pci-performance, even with warp-stuff

http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socket7 ... erview.htm

Testsetup:
-P5AD2-E Premium
-hyperthrading
-Matrox P650 (PCI-Express)
-1 Pulsar 2
-1 Scope 1
-IDE parallel ATA
-Nuendo 3

All the best,
André

That's good news!! I guess you're the first one confirming that this board actually works well with scope cards!!

Any numbers?

This is very interesting!

I checked the specs on this board and it says that there are three 32-bit PCI-slots, and three PCE-E, but when I look at this board I see three different kinds of slots. Could someone please explain this to me?

Thomas

hi
pci-e comes in different types?
X1,X2 .....X16

usefull reading

look at the photo: there are 3 32-bit PCI slots (white long rectangles ), 2 PCI-E 2x (short white ones) and 1 PCI-E 16x (black one), total 3 PCI 32 bit and 3 PCI-E

PS. exactly fits 3xScope

and
what happens when we are going to buy ourself a new "something-card"?
Is it PCI-E in your pc? hmmm think so!
What kind, is it 1x, 2x....? hmmm hmmm!

of course, i have to post the intel version.....

(has another pci slot)

OK - Has anyone tried this board, or are you "just sure" it will work?

Cheers!
Thomas

Oh - Yeah, and Andre, is the Matrix Graphics card noisy?

Hi, I have tested the Intel D925XCV board,
with a P4 3.2G 2M L2 Cache, 2 G Ram, X600 VGA.

I was not happy with the testresults.

However the CPU performance was great.

What exactly weren't you happy about? Did you have "problems" with your scope-cards and this motherboard, or was it "just" not as fast as you expected? Any glitches or any other annoyences?

Looking forward to your hear input!

Cheers!
Thomas

It is in fact very noisy.

There were problems running the performance-test found from nuendo.com, not sure what the test was called, but it measures nr of tracks before clicks and pops with a nr of vsti's etc.

Could not go low enough in latency, 6ms was barely ok....

So I was not happy with it.

OK - thanks for the warning.

hhhmm, I did a whole native mix @ 4ms latency!!
there must be something wrong...
seems like the audio performance depends on board manufacturer.
any irq sharing or other issus, by the way?

I do not remember.

At the time I thought it was really bad.

But it was the two tests the users rave about over at nuendo.com

Then I read something on the rme tech site, that the new mainboards had problems, making a glitch every x minute.

But the CPU performance was very, very good.

That was my first thought too but the test changed my mind...
Now, I´m working at 4ms latency without any glitch or crackle

Are you using the Intel D925XCV?
