it's not the cpu locking up, it's your infineon memory. dividers! You should have heard what my german mentor over in digital digest said when he saw my inital overclock before I backed down the fsb. I was perfectly stable at CPU FSB 290.06 MHz (original: 200 MHz, overclock: 45%) Memory Bus 186.46 MHz but the mem bus with that memory was too low(I tried 3 sets) idle in high 20's

I had the same problem with burn times when i had nvida ide drivers installed, of course it was complicated by sil 3112 serial drivers that were also bad(damn asus) Now shamus is using a fairly recent well known burner with a cruddy but well known mid, If ImgBurn tells the pioneer to write at 12x why would the average write speed be 4x? Graph or no graph, simple math.

and for a 12x burn that's way too long indicating problematic ide drivers?

I only have 4 boxes with sata raid chips and my burners are on channels 0 and 1 2 of the boxes have dual sata and dual pata, but they are turned off in bios

how do you ever end up with something like this?

Pardon LUK, strange to me, as in new, (0,1,0) for example! 90% of the shite log I skip, only 50% of yours, course those parts I don't understand. Ignorance can be bliss.

I love to talk power user stuff, now dual raid stripes would be nice and network 3 or 4 of them on gigabit! Of course then I would want dual dual core opterons! now this is fun! with 145$ cpu and 60$ worth of memory --------[ EVEREST Home Edition © 2003-2005 Lavalys, Inc. ]------------------------------------------------------------ Version EVEREST v2.20.405 --------[ Overclock ]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPU Properties: CPU Type AMD Athlon 64 CPU Alias Venice S939 CPU Stepping DH-E3 CPUID CPU Name AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ CPUID Revision 00020FF0h CPU Speed: CPU Clock 2474.75 MHz CPU Multiplier 9.0x CPU FSB 274.97 MHz (original: 200 MHz, overclock: 37%) Memory Bus 247.48 MHz CPU Cache: L1 Code Cache 64 KB (Parity) L1 Data Cache 64 KB (ECC) L2 Cache 512 KB (On-Die, ECC, Full-Speed) Motherboard Properties: Motherboard Name Asus A8V Deluxe (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DDR DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394) Chipset Properties: Motherboard Chipset VIA K8T800Pro, AMD Hammer Memory Timings 2.5-4-4-10 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) Command Rate (CR) 1T SPD Memory Modules: DIMM1: Micron Tech. 256 MB PC4000 DDR SDRAM (2.5-4-4-10 @ 250 MHz) (2.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz) DIMM2: Micron Tech. 256 MB PC4000 DDR SDRAM (2.5-4-4-10 @ 250 MHz) (2.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz) BIOS Properties: System BIOS Date 06/30/05 Video BIOS Date 04/08/11 DMI BIOS Version 1014.008 Graphics Processor Properties: Video Adapter ATI Radeon 9600 XT (RV360) GPU Code Name RV360 (AGP 8x 1002 / 4152, Rev 00) GPU Clock 500 MHz (original: 500 MHz) Memory Clock 297 MHz (original: 300 MHz) --------[ Memory Read ]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P4EE 3733 MHz MSI P4N Diamond nForce4-SLI-Intel Dual DDR2-667 7630 MB/s P4EE 3733 MHz Dell Dimension XPS i925XE Dual DDR2-533 6920 MB/s Athlon64 2475 MHz Asus A8V Deluxe K8T800Pro Dual PC4000 DDR 6347 MB/s --------[ Memory Write ]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ P4EE 3733 MHz MSI P4N Diamond nForce4-SLI-Intel Dual DDR2-667 2980 MB/s Athlon64 3500+ 2200 MHz MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3-Ultra Dual PC3200 DDR 2600 MB/s Pentium EE 840 3200 MHz Intel D955XBK i955X Dual DDR2-667 2280 MB/s P4 560 3600 MHz Intel D925XCV i925X Dual DDR2-533 2280 MB/s P4 560 3600 MHz Foxconn 915A01-P i915P Dual DDR2-533 2200 MB/s P4EE 3733 MHz Dell Dimension XPS i925XE Dual DDR2-533 2040 MB/s Athlon64 2475 MHz Asus A8V Deluxe K8T800Pro Dual PC4000 DDR 2005 MB/s --------[ Memory Latency ]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Athlon64 2475 MHz Asus A8V Deluxe K8T800Pro Dual PC4000 DDR 2.5-4-4-10 44.2 ns Athlon64 3500+ 2200 MHz MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3-Ultra Dual PC3200 DDR 2-2-2-5 45.6 ns

The best example of standalone masters are serial hard drives, by design they have no master/slave designation, I took a transcoded vid ts folder on one hard drive and converted to an iso on another hard drive, shrink settled in at 38MB/s, 4,399MB in 2 min 2 sec. I could try a test of dual 16x burns with drives sharing the same cable but I am pretty sure the burn would take 10-12 minutes not 7 or 8!

and that would be an unrestricted burn at 8x? NEC's would overspeed at 24x if they found a way! Course that's another theory about TYG's, same disks, different mid's! 600 disks later(200+200+200)

good! direct evidence of that ghost i have been chasing, benq's have a lot of learning curves built into their hardware/firmware, my theory includes scanning/verifying learning curves, but then wookies are crazy! and next firmware flash it starts all over! status of WOPC? and like dee says the nec 3500 is still king of the dvd-r world! good work corny!

and i am trying to learn to read these strangs logs

The definitive term is a luxurious "STANDALONE MASTERS", of course if 2 drives never talk to each other then they can share controllers and cables.

yes , i have all 4 virtual daemon drives in use Shucks i wanted to know how you got 7 drives working! kinda disappointed I didn't catch you with old firmware!

lot's of virtual drives? benq seems to be having trouble verifying it's own burn????????????? but not the plex

That's what got me into building, I had 3 teenagers, luckily they have grown up.

that's why you can never have too many burners or computers

LoL! It is, but I could always try a few things while waitng on the RMA form. Unless you've established another burner works fine in that computer and this burner doesn't work in another computer, you've not found the problem. No amount of educated guesswork replaces that test.

device manager, open up the mother ide, go to the secondary if that's what the burner is hooked to and right click, properties/driver/roll back

try rolling back the ide driver to the msdefault one for the channel the burner is on, had that mobo for almost a year right after it came out

Be very careful with the new Sym. security suite, I don't like it's handling of the admin privileges at all, and skeptical of nero 7's influence.

what's the driver for the secondary ide?

]My Webpage[/url] course benq's burn good too, with mature firmware

I thought they were all gone, it doesn't scan, but is the best reader I have ever used, will handle almost any badly burned or damaged disks. Coupled with a benq, you have the best of both worlds, and as an extra it's the fastest burner I have seen. Consistent 95-99 burns @ 8x on MIJ media. Blooie and anonie sure like theirs.

I guess you were including your hard drive, I thought you had another burner besides the Pioneer 108. The pioneer 110D seems to be the only drive that has much luck with ritek dl disks, but who wants to use them? If you could ever find an old stock LG 4163B, that's my most valued burner! I love my nec 3550 and hope I don't wear it out before the firmware matures. When I can get a benq 1550, I will retire my LG from burning and save as a reader.

dual burning, mismatched burners, standalone masters, 3540/3550 ****....18 ritek ridata R04 @ 8x time 10:33 single burn on 3550 same as above, time 9:51
