MCE is just fine, There have been issues with more that 3 gigs of RAM. XP cannot deal with it properly. Try taking out 2 gigs and see how it goes.

We need more information about your system.
Are your disks NTFS or FAT32?
Is there a network involved?
Multiprocessors?
3rd party filters involved?
Video Hardware? Matrox, Black Magic etc. ?

All of these can cause this error.

Try setting the internal RS-422 setting in the Panasonic to “Other”

[Ron Shook] “Also, doesn’t Mark need another large scratch drive in his system for audio and the like?”

Nope.

I will have to check with my Matrox guys about the 1900 issue, I think it is gone. We use Nvidia here anyway. 🙂

I am talking about the 9950 SX/SE , the new ones.
The 9500s were not as good. Big improvement.

[Harm Millaard] “I do not completely agree with your statements.”

Well, hey buddy I didn’t know money was not an option!

Dump the Opteron 270’s put in the 275’s
Go for 4 gigs of RAM
Go for the new 3ware (which is faster than the Areca) with:
12 – Seagate 750GB in Raid 5 gives you over 8TB of useable storage.
Don’t forget a Blue Ray drive!
I still would not put that Raptor in there. I would go for best MTBF on the system drive. There is no performance advantage on a system for this use. (except boot time maybe)

I was talking about best bang for the buck options in a tight budget. Although we could build this system for a client today.

Hey Mark,
The system looks good and will work great with the X2.
I would make 3 changes:

1. I agree, buy a bigger system drive. (Cheap)
2. We have NOT been impressed with the performance on the Samsung drives. The Western Digital 400’s are awesome and a good bang for the buck right now. Go with 5 drives and Raid 5
3. Dump the Promise and get the new PCIe 3ware card. This thing rocks and will do uncompressed HD if you ever go to full AXIO. It is also full performance Raid5.

This bring the price up a bit, but will be a top of the line performer for a long time.

Good luck,
Steve
