P4C800 Deluxe and DVRexRT: which slot? help!
Hi,
I'm building a new PC with P4C800 Deluxe motherboard and DVRex RT. I went to Canopus Forum and I saw everyone use the slot 1 and 3 of the motherboard for the RT and DVRex cards. My technician tells me he cannot put the RT card in the slot 1 because it stays too much next to the video card (there is the squanderer of heat). He wants to put the RT card in the slot 4 and the M1 in the slot 5 of the motherboard. Will it be the same thing or will I have some problems? Does anyone know if the fourth and fifth PCI slots share IRQ? I cannot read the manual because I haven't ot. thanks very much Fogar |

You might want to ask here. It's an Asus forum that is very populated.
http://www.asusboards.com/ Go to the Intel Chipset forum of that site. Ask there and someone will help. jdc1 Fogar wrote: I have downloaded the manual but me I am not a technician and I have not understood. Then English isn't my mother language. I'm sorry.

Hi,
does RT2500 consist of two cards or one? Slot 1 is one and the other for RT? thanks I'm using Matrox RT2500 which has to be installed without any IRQ sharing. Slot 5 is the one you go, assuming that you don't put anything in Slot 1. Hope this helps. "Fogar" wrote in message .. .

I think the IRQ sharing is as follow:
PCI 1 share with PCI 5 PCI 2 share with onboard LAN PCI 3 share with USB2.0 + onboard SATA PCI 4 share with onboard firewire. Best to use PCI slot 3-4 I think it is dependent on the operating system you use. With windows XP, you shouldn't have any problem with IRQ sharing. Also, if you are using RAID, the performance may be affected. Hope this help JxD "Fogar" wrote in message ... Hi, I'm building a new PC with P4C800 Deluxe motherboard and DVRex RT.

I have two cards. M1 and RT.
One card only. Does DVRexRT come with 2 cards? What PCI peripherals do you have? "Fogar" wrote in message .. . Hi, does RT2500 consist of two cards or one?

Therefore I can disable onboard LAN and to use the opened Slot 2 for
RT card. What other things can I disable for M1 card, please? I have CD-Rom and CD-Recorder in my PC tanks Fogar. I think the IRQ sharing is as follow: PCI 1 share with PCI 5 PCI 2 share with onboard LAN PCI 3 share with USB2.0 + onboard SATA PCI 4 share with onboard firewire.

Try this: put the RT in Slot 5 and the M1 in Slot 4. Slot 4 is sharing with
the on board 1394 and should be able to share an IRQ with most devices without conflict. Hope this helps. "Fogar" wrote in message ... I have two cards. M1 and RT. One card only.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. What do you mean for "on-board
sound" and for "Just keep the other slots clear"? Have I not to put anything in the other slots? If you are using the on-board sound, there's nothing to disable. Simply putting the 2 cards in slot 4&5 should be fine. Just keep the other slots clear. Enjoy. "Fogar" wrote in message .. . Ohhh, thanks very much for your advice. But have I to disable anything in Slot 4 and Slot 5? Thanks again Try this: put the RT in Slot 5 and the M1 in Slot 4.
