Intel D955X motherboard
Thanks to everyone for solving my capture problem and identifying my non-compatible motherboard with my Matrox RTX 100 (Wondered why it never worked all these years!)I’m looking at the Intel D955X with the D 840 3.2GHz processor. It seems to be the best combo for my budget/replacement.
My applications are Premiere Pro 1.0 After Effects and Ultra 2
Has anyone had any experience with this or a similar set up?
What type and amount memory is suggested?
Thank you,
Art

Hi Art,
I have a D915PBL and P4 3.0 Ghz. I am using Premiere Pro 1.5. XP Pro Sp2 with all the updates. I have a matched 1 Gb Corsair memory. The only difference between the PBL and the D955X is dual core and takes the higher (667?)DDR2 speed. The PBL is not dual core and takes only 553 DDR2.
I WAS NOT able to get Pro 1.5 to recognize my Panasonic PV-GS250. It DID recognize my Canopus ADVC-50 for analog capture. I had to use MotionDV, the capture software that came with the Panasonic camcorder to capture from the Panasonic. Nero, Windows Movie Maker, and Roxio software had no problem detecting the PV-GS250. Go figure.
Right now, I am waiting for a replacement D915PBL motherboard. The built in 1394 port seems to be the problem. I am still waiting for the replacement.
I had the mobo only for a month before it failed. I was able to finish one project before it failed on me.

Delfino,
I had an Asus board for a few years that never quite worked right until I just learned it is not compatible with Matrox RT.100. Asus P4P800 and P4C800 have also been suggested to cure my issues

The P4C800 is an excellent board with Prem Pro and Matrox and many people on this forum have that board. Mine has sailed along fine for nearly two years. I’ve got 4Gb of Corsair on board.

Good advice. History is always a good gage. I’ll keep that in mind.
Thanks for responding.
