I am confused is Jason multibeam x41zb Cuda, supposed to replace the lunatics unified installer as if being faster or better than the lunitics?

There is no installer for it, but everything Jason does WAS Lunatics.....
Since his split with them over 'artistic issues', shall we say, he has been working as an independent.
So, you have to install it by hand, there is no automatic way to do so for now.

So I should run this now since lunatics no longer has a download for their versions. This is the first I have heard of multibeam x41zb from Jason. I realize it is a hand install. So this is what crunchers are using now?

I found at tigerdirect had ASUS P9X79 for 259 dollars and i7 3820 for 279 dollars if I can get the 600 dollars up I will upgrade to that.

I just upgraded since September to now

Coolmax ZU Series ZU-1000B 1000W ATX12V v2.31 & EPS12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply = $87.74

win 8 pro upgrade = $39.99

Acer G276HL Dbd 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor = $244.76

AZZA Solano 1000 CSAZ-1000 Full Tower Case (Black) = $114.99

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooler System = $59.99

OCZ Technology 128GB Agility 4 Series SATA 6Gb/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive( SSD) With Up to 420 MB/s Read And 72K Max.IOPS- AGT4-25SAT3-128G = $99.99

So these upgrades cost a little over $700 including S&H so Iguess I will get the new I7 3820 and ASUS P9X79 which will replace the i7 920 and the ASUS P6T board and get 2 more sticks of corsair vengeance memory and keep my 2 460 cards

I guess Windows has installed the default drivers for the MB/chipset and probably thats why it doesnt see the 3rd channel (and the memory attached to it)...
May be you need to use the MB install CD to load the correct drivers but, as probably there is nothing in it for Win8, the best option is to see if there is an upgraded set of drivers for your MB for the new version of Windows...


Good idea I upgraded from win7 ultimate to win8 pro using drivers from my upgrade which is win7. ASUS web sit has only up to win7 ultimate drivers for P6T board no win8 drivers so I guess I am out of luck unless they write win8 drivers for P6T which is an old board.

ASUS P6T win7 ultimate saw all of my 24gb but not at first it saw 16gb I forgot what I had to do to make it see all 24gb of my memory.

On older Asus boards you sometimes have to set the Memory Remap Feature to [Enable] to enable a 64 bit OS to see all of the memory.


I will look for Memory Remap Feature
I reset the bios and the bios sees 16gb and the os while cpuz and piriform speccy see 24gb.

edit I could not find Memory Remap Feature or anything related to 64 bit os.

I will flash the bios although I have the updated bios already and asus does not have any bios utilities that work with win8 I will download the latest bios and flash the bios through the bios itself.

edit I flashed the bios 1408 which is the latest for my P6T and ASUS does not have a bios for win8 pro only up to win7 ultimate. So I doubt that ASUS will add a win8 bios for the P6T board.

From Microsoft

Version                 Limit on X86  Limit on X64

Windows 8 Enterprise    4 GB          512 GB
 
Windows 8 Professional  4 GB          512 GB
 
Windows 8               4 GB          128 GB
 


From Piriform Speccy

RAM
24.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 801MHz (9-9-9-24)

So utilities like Piriform Speccy and cpuz all show 24gb of memory yet win8 pro shows only 16gb of memory. And it is triple cjannel yet these show dual channel.
I guess I will take out the memory and reseat them and do a memtest 86 on them.

Well I just upgraded to win8 pro upgrade download for 39.99 for my desktop and installed the same on my laptop but Microsoft said it was used on another pc so I bought a full win8 pro key for 69.99 pretty inexpensive 2 os for 110 dollars. Better hurry sale ends in January.. I don't like the metro and no start button even though metro replace the start menus. There are work around I can get to my computer buy clicking the file button and I can add a start button by downloading from vendors which by passes the metro also. I miss the side bar and the aero effect and win7 had better backgrounds. Unlike win7 once I upgraded to win8 there was no way to restore back to win7. I could also put the same copy of win7 on different pc's not so with win8.

I just changed my cooling from stock which was running at 97 degrees to Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooler System which runs at 54 degrees. My Thermaltake V1 Max-Performance CPU Cooler with Massive 110mm Fan kept temps to around 68 degrees but the pins broke and I put the stock cooler in until I bought and replaced it with the Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooler. I also upgraded to win 8 pro for 39.99 upgrad and a full win 8 pro for 69.99 on my laptop I tried to use the same one from my desktop to my lap top but Microsoft said it was already being used so I got a new key. I also got a new Acer G276HL Dbd 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor and AZZA Solano 1000 CSAZ-1000 Full Tower Case (Black) and just got my cruncher back up and running nice and cool and quite.

Oh its possible Mark.

I fried one maybe 10 years ago.
You just need to try very hard LOL

LOL.....dammit....I shall have to try harder.

Realistically speaking though, I don't even push the CPUs that hard anymore.
The GPUs do all the real work now, so OCing the crap out of the CPUs is not so much of an issue anymore.

I got my reputation here on Seti back in the day by being able to OC every single clock cycle out of every CPU I owned.

Now, not so much. There are users in my own team that can whack the kitties with a single 690.

Things have changed.


A 690 cost about a grand.

I had an old XP but I had a power outage and it killed my cruncher hard drive and I had to borrow that XP box hard drive and put it in my crunched and now the XP box sits idle not able to run and I ran out of money I had to put full two rear strut assembly and a wheel cylinder and sway bar links for my car it had a harsh ride but is butter smooth now. BCD works just fine.

In XP mode control panel it list under Display adapters as Virtual PC Integration COMPONETS s3 Trio32/64.
Other devices as Virtual PC Integration Device this entry have 3 entries.
Universal Serial Bus controllers have 2 entries as USB Virtualization Hub Driver.

I think this is causing the problems because I have Nvidia 460 cards and the scanner is USB.
The error I get is 1607 isscript and unable to connect to scanner.
I googled the 1607 error and solution are for XP outright and do not fix anything in XP mode.
I googled the unable to connect to scanner and same result as before did not fix anything in XP mode.

So I thought I should install XP and I discovered my problem and I expanded my drive back to normal.
Then I did the BCD and screwed up the XP install by loading the MB drivers instead of the Video drivers first and the MB drivers second after the video drivers install.
So I am on my 3 XP install but out of time I have to go to my dialysis treatment so I will be of no use until tomorrow after I recover from my treatment.

So bye for now.

That's good and OK but mine I get software and driver errors and I looked up the errors and the solutions does not work either so I guess I will need XP installed. It is a discontinued Visioneer 9320 and I need to digitize film and slides. I use it for my photo art for creative reasons and it won't work with Vista/Win 7. I think it is mostly a software errors or maybe Motherboard chipset drivers errors because ASUS MB disk doesn't work right in XP mode or my Nvida drivers or graphic card audio drivers or something like that all in XP mode.

Why do that? I use this & it works a charm.

Win 7 XP Mode

From my first post

How can I put XP on my Win 7 cruncher? I need XP in order to use my film scanner that is only XP and earlier compatible. I have tried virtual XP but it will not work. So I need an XP installation on my win 7 cruncher. I don't know how to do it.

The film scanner does not work in XP mode.
This link helps explain it.
But since it's a virtualized environment, it can't use hardware acceleration (read: "XP Mode is lousy for gaming").

Even though I am trying to use my film scanner and not for gaming.

Beside BCD worked.

I asked how to help.
