  Compatibility Question

  Posted by R4ymond on October 22, 2006 at 2:37 pm

  Dear Guys.

  Im planning to build my new rig to work with DL Extreme as follow:
  Proccessor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz
  Mainboard: Intel D975XBX
  Run on Win XP X64.

  Am I gonna face any compatibility problem with that kind of configuration?
  Or should I just go with Intel Pentium D 3.4Ghz with Intel D975XBX running on Win XP Prof.

  Please Advice, Thank You

  Hi Ray

  To begin please review the following link which outlines the differences in support on X32 and X64

  Should I run XP32 or XP64.

  Originally X64 drivers were released for usage by Decklink Software developers who needed to run this platform. Depending on your workflow you may find that X32 offers more functionality and support.

  Hardware.

  Decklink HD Extreme requires a 4x PCIe connection both phyisically and electrically.
  This is the minimum requirement.
  .
  The intel boards listed at do not have PCI-X controllers

  This limits the Disk array controllers available for your HD system.

  If you have anymore questions let me know.
