    - Win XP Prof X64 Ed upgrade Just got done. The System. ASUS P5AD2-E Premium, P4 640 3.2Ghz, Lga775, 1Gig Kingston ddr2. Video, BFG Gforce 6600GT. Drives 2x80 GB Barracyda SATA HD in RAID 0, SONY DRU-720A DVD+R Double Layer DVD+/- RW/+R/CD, no name DVD CD. Printer Canon PIXMA iP3000. MOBO 64 Bit drivers are all at ASUS for everything on the MOBO that I use, i.e. Wifi, Audio, Raid. the only inconvenience was finding the program to create the F6 RAID floppy. Graphics Card, Nvida has the 64bit drivers for this card. CD drivers came off the X64 install disk and appear to be working fine. Printer :) There are no Canon drivers for this printer, I ran in circles looking everywhere, called Canon and was told 1-2 months....Then Bingo, someone mentioned that there were drivers for some Canon printers in the X64 install, went and loaded one at random from Canon list and lol, it works, not great, but it works and will do unitl Canon release's 64 Bit drivers....... Software...Games.....WoW works, EQ2 works, Half-life 2 works, they all run great, if anything better that they used to. Install difficulty on a scale of 1-10, about 2-3. Why, You should have been a gamer in the prewindoz days when you had to know how to work on the files in your HD with a hex/askii editor, you had to a have a different audio/video/game controller driver for almost each game.... -- Is It True?

    - Question(s) about RTM release I am currently running a multi-boot setup, with Windows XP SP2 on one partition, and WIndows XP x64 RC2 on another partition (which runs great). My plan is to download the RTM trial edition when it becomes available while I wait to obtain a fully-functional (no timebomb) copy for permanent use. I have two questions: (1) Will the RTM trial edition install over my RC2 edition, and upgrade it? (and I guess reduce the license time from 365 days to 120 days). Or do I need to format and re-install? If so, forget it, RC2 seems stable and functional enough until I get a full RTM CDROM. (2) With RC2, the Windows Update seems to work fine, but there has never been an update to install. Is that because RC2 is "cut off" so-to-speak from updates and the feature is "up and running" but not "functioning"? Or are there truly no new updates? If cut-off, that worries me a little, I'd hate to think I am opening myself up to security issues by running an OS without security update features. I know it is Beta and I am not at all bitching at Microsoft, I am just asking out loud. Thanks for any help you can offer. Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1135

    - Zomax was a bad choice for CRM Just a general comment for any MS managers who might read this--Zomax was a terrible choice for handling your x64 Technology Advancement Program customer relations. A brief list of my own grievences: 1. Had to use a credit card to pay for shipping, but DID NOT RECEIVE a confirmation email. Quite disturbing, considering Zomax (probably at Microsoft's direction) makes the upgrade sign-up site look like a MS site, when in fact it's not. Who has my credit card information, now? Big, big, mystery. 2. After ordering, the Zomax-run status check web site simply says, "pending." Pending what, precisely, and until when? Simply "pending" is inadequate, especially now that I'm concerned about the security and location of my personal financial information (see #1, above). Strike two. 3. Repeated emails to the address listed on the upgrade site yield no reply--even direct email inquiries to Zomax go unanswered. Isn't it true that one of the biggest reasons for outsourcing your customer relations is because you don't have the staff on hand to handle the inevitable high volume of communications necessary, and the company you hire has the needed capacity? Apparently Zomax fails again. Strike three. Check out the planetamd64.com and extended64.com sites--you'll see I'm just a drop in the bucket. MS, you really dropped the ball when you hired Zomax. Please don't use them again. Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1126

    - Dual DVI PCI Express Video Card compatibility Howdy, I just got a couple of LCD displays with DVI. Want to get a reasonably priced (~$250) ATI or Nvidia video card that is PCI Express x16, dual DVI out (NOT 1 vga/1 dvi) and of course, x64 compatible. Going to the ATI web site, its not clear which are x64 compatible, although they list drivers for Radeon and FireGL: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894 But when you browse their products, they have workstation, theater, and all kinds of mixed up categories that dont make it clear or sort just the pci-x, dual dvi, and x64. Then when you go to nvidia web site, they seem to cover everything with their unified driver architecture: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_71.84.html which sounds like i can buy any GEforce card and I'll be ok? I'll be using it for dual desktop, need pivoting support, web design, general business apps and some video editing, dvd, etc. I'm not a gamer. I did some googling but didnt find any specific reviews, although some good general information on DVI and LCD: http://www1.graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041129/index.html http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2400 And compusa seems to have only 2 pci-x cards that have dual dvi and both are nvidia-based. and they are oddball brands (bfg, pny), so i can't seem to find reviews on them. http://www.compusa.com/products/products.asp?N=200105+4294966325&Ne=300752 Appreciate any recommendations or experiences and any good web sites with listings, articles, reviews. Still waiting for my exchange order on x64...no confirmation nothing. Thanks. Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1095

    - XP x64 edition and Visual Studio .NET 2003 compatible? Just setting up my new 64 bit system and installing Visual Studio .NET gives me this: 1. Visual Studio .NET Prerequisites Setup has detected that some of the system componenets that are installed on your computer do not match the versions required for VS .NET. You must install a different version of these componenets. Is this normal? This is a fresh install. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Kenneth Lancaster Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1094

    - Installing printer drivers for shared printers ? I've got several printers spooled from a 32 bit print server, I want to connect to these from an x64 machine. Whenever I try to connect the x64 machine to the network shared printer it says the driver doesn't exist on the print server, in the "sharing" tab on the printer properties on the print server I have the option to install an x64 driver for remote printers, but I can't find the files it needs. The x64 box has the drivers if I install the printer locally but I've pointed the 32bit print server at all parts of the x64 CD and it can't seem to find the additional drivers it needs? Anyone know how to install the drivers? Thanks Peter Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1085

    - Question regarding 16-bit and service pack Can XP x64 run 16-bit applications too? I haven't been able to find any information regarding this. And does the XP x64 SP1 equal the 32-bit XP SP2? Or do we still have to wait for SP2 to be released for XP x64 too? And has anyone had success using Norton AntiVirus 2005 under XP x64? Hope anyone can clear up some of these questions. Thanks in advance. Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1083

    - Is anyone maintaining a list of x64 software? I was thinking of contacting some companies to enquire about x64 versions of their software. I'm thinking about the likes of WinZip, Acrobat Reader, Textpad and others that I use. I expect there are many people and many, many applications that could be added to the list. I wonder if anyone has thought about maintaining a list, where you could check to see if there's any knowledge on the app you're interested in. So, you could go check and find out, say, that WinZip *are* planning an x64 version, with a Beta starting "Q2 2005" and ship expected around Q3. This is just an example. I guess it would make sense to allow all parties to register some form of interest per-product. The idea is, the site maintainer could say to WinZip: "Look, 3000 people are interested, so there is a market for it. Also, you can contact these people and invite them to join your beta if required." Just thinking out loud... Jon Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1072

    - Windows XP x64 Edition runs a little slow on only 512 MB's of RAM. I got my 180 Day Free Trial CD of Windows XP x64 Edition yesterday (it got delivered by the United States Postal Service). My free upgrade still has not shipped yet, so I decided to install and use the 180 Day Free Trial CD, until the Free Upgrade shows up at my doorstep. It runs a little slow on only 512 MB's of RAM, just to let you guys know in advance. I still like it, however, and I am sure that I will like it even more, after I add more RAM to this computer Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1068

    - Translation or MUI planned or what ? Hello all, As many of us, I enjoy the new x64 model, using XP or 2003 but am quite disappointed there are only 2 languages (plus German as a MUI for XP) existing right now... Can someone tell me where I can find information about release date for other languages ? PS : really surprised there are releases for German and Japanese when you consider there are much more people speaking French or Spanish around the world...can someone explain that ? I prefer not even deal with Chinese... Regards Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1033

    - Right click menu I've installed winrar and a few other applications. On Win XP 32-bit these applications added items to the right click menu. But on x64, they aren't there. is there a way to get these added as its a little frustrating having to do everything the long way round by opening the app and then use all its internal menus i know its not a hugely important issue compared to other things, but its bugging me Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1023

    - Got the trail and I am liking it. A few ? Well I had the beta but now I have the trail CD and all I have to say is that it seems better and faster. Now my only problem is that I need drivers for the Epson C64, Canon D660U, Logitech quick cam, and my Star-tech 2 port serial card. I just loaded 64bit up and I lost a lot of the old messages on the board. What I can not find is does anyone have any dates or tips for this hardware? If you even have a good generic driver I would be happy. If I can get at least the printer and scanner up I will be going over to 64 bit. One last question what is the last day I can do the free upgrade from XP pro? Thanks Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 1004

This is the first positive reply that I've received about 64-bit drivers and it was received within 24 hours as promised by the automatic reply to the question. "Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection. All current Seiko Epson Corporation drivers have been written to work on a32 bit operating system architecture. You will likely experience difficulty installing the current 32 bit driverson a 64 bit Windows operating system.

    - Help - Unrecognised drive Hi Have Win XP (No SP1 or SP2) dual booting with Win98. 2 hard discs each with 4 partitions, all FAT 32. All worked well until recently when XP doesn't read the second hard disk announcing it 'Unformatted'. Swap to WIN98 and everything is as it should be with all files & partitions in place & data readable. Have: Deleted drive driver in XP & allowed it to re-install. With Win98, run Scandisk on all partitions, some errors found on a child partition. Tried Partition Magic in XP, shows the Partitions, but with labels mucked up. Tried " " Repair ", advises files open & no can do. Tried " File checker in XP, nothing happens after the first menu. Any ideas apart from re-formatting & starting again?

    - Licensed CPU support information on OEM product purchase. Hi, I wish to purchase a version of windows 64bit OEM, but the suppliers can not tell me how many CPU's the product will support. How can this information be found on the package so that I can get the correct version for the machine I intend to build? Just so you have the information, I intend to use a Tyan K8WE dual cpu motherboard. I intend to use single core amd's for the moment but when the dual core become available at a realistic price I will be upgrading to twin dual core amd's. So I will need a version that supports two physical cpu each with 2 cores. I am not clear as to if you are counting a dual core cpu as a single cpu license for windows ? If you could let me know how to discover this information, so I can inform any provider of software the correct information for them to send the correct version of your product.

    - Offline this week Sorry, folks. I'm going to be mostly offline this week -- I've got to make a run down to Redmond for a project I'm working on, and I'll be buried deep inside campus with no access to the NG for most of the week. (And yes, it _is_ x64 related, but not anything we've been talking about here.) Depending on how things go, I may be able to get online and do some NG stuff at night, but I'm not counting on it. My learning curve on this project is pretty steep and I may not have the time or energy left. Should be back online by the weekend, but it IS a major holiday weekend up here in Canada. So I might actually take it off! -- Charlie. Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 926

    - Problems with x64 I installed x64 Pro fresh on a brand new hard drive. The installation went smoothly and I'm using the latest nvidia x64 drivers for my video card. However, everytime I right click on a file in windows explorer, the screen blinks off (or goes black) for a moment and then comes back on. I haven't been able to replicate this anywhere else. Also, when I have multiple levels on my taskbar (which is set to show only one level and grouping windows is turned off), I have a wierd issue where if I'm not on a particular level (and this seems to be random) and click on the bar more than once, it switches to this random "default" level. Say if I had three levels, and the second level was the random default, if I was on the first level and clicked on a window it would restore normally. Now if I switch to another level on that first level, the task bar would switch over to the second level as if I hit one of of the arrow buttons to do so. This is getting really really annoying as I often do have more than one level now in XP. Any ideas? I had 2kPro before so I have no idea if any of these problems would have occured in 32 bit XP with the same hardware configuration...but I doubt it. Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 917

We're currently using Symantec AV Corporate on 32bit servers, but I've had a look at the x64 client that ships with AV Corp10 and it won't update it's signatures from the parent server, it has to use Live Update which I won't work through our proxyservers.

    - Asus SK8V Opteron board dead on network Win2K3 Server x64 installed with no issues except intergrated LAN is unknown. Uninstalled device to let windows find it again. Point directly to 64-bit *.inf drivers from Marvel and fron PlanetAMD64 (2 versions). Windows refuses to load drivers. I can't figure why MS would release code for servers and not cover basic LAN drivers. Come on MS, there are only so many Opteron boards on the market.

    - x64 with a ps/2 mouse and USB gfx tablet; Possible problem found To cut a long story short, I use a Logitech MX1000 in the ps/2 port (USB tends to lag on 32-bit for some reason). I also have a Wacom graphics tablet in a USB port. Under 32-bit XP this causes no problems whatsoever, and I can switch between the two whenever I like. Now... x64 picks up the mouse as a ps/2 compliant, and the Wacom works as a mouse (listed as HID under mice) too. There are no problems using the Wacom as a mouse. If however I switch to use the MX1000, the horrendous lag problems occur with it. Every few seconds, the mouse starts behaving erratically, jumping or pausing for a few seconds, making games unplayable and Windows use generally quite unpleasant. However, if I unplug the Wacom tablet, instantly the problems disappear and the mouse performs as normal. Bug? Unusual conflict..? Recommendations? (Yes, my drivers are all up to date for the record ;) After all, x64's vast memory is often purported to be most useful to people working with graphical or video applications AND for games, and a lot of people thus may have exactly this kind of configuration.

    - VIA Chipsets and SATA Drives I'm getting tired of saying this, but SOMETHING CHANGED BETWEEN RC2 AND RTM! The drivers that worked during the early days of the beta for using SATA drives in VIA chipset motherboards (A8N, A8V, amongst others), WILL NOT WORK RIGHT WITH THE RELEASED VERSION! Please. READ the messages here, and learn from them, and save yourself some pain. You need to download updated drivers from: planetamd64.com or directly from VIAArena. The ones on the ASUS site do NOT WORK. You need to make a new F6 disk to use during the installation. Finally, on the A8V, at least, you need to use the two SATA connectors next to the VIA chip, NOT the ones next to the Promise chip. The right ones are marked "SATA1" and "SATA2". The wrong ones are marked "SATA RAID1" and "SATA RAID2". And then disable the Promise controller in the BIOS. These boards work, and work well. I'm sure that eventually all the driver problems for them will get sorted. But in the mean time, READ and save yourself some pain, and save those of us trying to help some bandwidth. -- Charlie.

    - Got my XP Pro x64 trial CD Finally came in the mail today. Time to play... Has to be activated within 14days of installation. Apparently, you will be able to install the final release over top of the trial, or perhaps change the PID number... but if you decide against the "upgrade", you'll need to re-install your prior OS and perhaps even need to re-format the drive first. Most of the product insert talks about using the built-in and online help and support. Windows Update will be the normal route for updates. Requires AMD Athlon64 or Opteron, or Intel Xeon or P4 with EM64T, 256M RAM, 1.5G hard disk space, super vga (800x600dpi) or better video card, CD ROM or DVD drive, keyboard and MS Mouse or compatible pointing device. Obviously, the system BIOS and chipset must also support x64, all 64-bit drivers, etc. as with the server version... Tag: Silicon Sil3114 Raid Tag: 816

    - Dual boot can't load x64 w/o CD in boot drive. I have loaded x64 in a dual boot with WinXp 32 bit. The 32 bit version works fine, but I can't boot into the x64 version without setting bios to boot from the CD first and have the x64 install CD in the drive. If I don't have the CD in or set the computer to boot from hard drive or removeable drive I get the following message: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\System32\ntoskrnl.exe. Please re-install a copy of the above file." My system specs: CoolerMaster CM Stacker Thermaltake Purepower 680W ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (Rev. 1.2) Bios 1007 AMD 64 FX53 - ADAFX53DEP5AS Thermaltake Venus 12 Corsair TWINX 1024 - 3200XL PRO 2 x eVga 6800 Ultra PCIe Audigy 2 Nvidia SATA Drives: WD 74GB Raptor - WinXP SP2 - nForce 6.53 - video 73.00 WD 74GB Raptor - WinXP x64 - nForce 6.56 - video 76.71 Maxtor Diamond 10 250GB 2 X 80GB Seagate SATA drives-RAID 1 - Silicon Image Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-108 Plextor DVDR PX-716A Mitsumi floppy drive Samsung 213T Any Ideas what could be causing this, it is annoying to have to keep the CD in the drive.

Does anybody have the experience to install "two" same Silicon Sil3114 Raid
Cards on the MB, and both of them can work normally.
I have a Sil3114 raid card and a bloody Promise Fastek SATA150 raid card on
hand, but Promise has never provided the X64 driver for intel P6xx. I
installed the Sil3114 beta driver, it is working normally and I want to buy
one more Sil3114 to instead of the bloody, I am wondering if two pieces same
Silicon raid can run on the MB without any conflict!

I have a sil3114 Raid (2 satas) working with promise FastTrak 378 (2 satas
too) (built w/ asus a8V).
Have you tried the FastTrak S150 TX AMD64 drivers (should work for Intel
P6xx) -
