Thanks. I tried searching, but didn’t discover an answer…
Could be the only way is Automatic Duck; or there may be some other work arounds I can figure out.

I remember when I worked at an exclusive Avid shop. Ahhh. That was
sweet.

Thanks again.

Hey guys,

General slot question.

I’ve got an “old” MacPro 2.66 Dual. So I’ve learned, thanks to Bob Z and others (and Kona support has been great) that the Lhe card should be seated in SLOT 3 of my Mac, not Slot 2. Kona advises me to choose Option 2 when the Slot Utility opens.

When I mistakenly but briefly had it in Slot 2, I did notice a degradation in my graphics card performance. I wasn’t ever able to really test out the Kona, but obviously since neither card was running at full lane capacity, it would probably have suffered too.

Kona recommends that I choose Option 2 when I reinstall the card in slot 3. That will delegate 16 lanes for my graphics card, which is great, because I noticed a drag on FCP performance when I had the Kona in Slot 2 and split lanes between the cards. My QUESTION IS: Option 2 apparently only delegates 4 lanes to the Kona card. What kind of performance will I really be getting out of the card with so few lanes assigned. Is this a case of my eighteen month old MacPro being obsolete already? Jeez.

Thanks. No, I do have all the latest drivers. They were downloaded from the website.

Thank you Jeremy. The link proved perfect. Actually I had some different documentation that came on the CD, not as clear. ph

Actually Bob, there is an immediate question involving the reseat of the Kona Card. When the Slot Utility opens up again after I’ve seated the card, which of the four lane options should I chose?

Bob Zelin is really smart! I have the “old” MacPro, (because “Slot Utility” appeared after installation) – and I’m going to yank the card – well, not really “yank” – and re-seat it in slot three.

As for the second question, I’ll let you know in a little bit.

Thanks Mr. Z. I’ll let you know about the rest in a bit.
