I am a DSP Hardware Accelerator Freak.
I use a 4000 Dollar soundcard that is packed with 18 x DSP Chips that performs realtime audio synthesis techniques, but after years of purchasing Supermicro, Tyan and Intel, I have decided that years of reading forums with such nifty tricks I should jump in.
In 1998 DSP cards needed the CPU to run code only, so even the 1GHz Coppermine I bought for one large wasn't even necessary.
But in the last 6 years audio applications running off of Native processing instead of hardware accelerated DSP chips grew favor and now today I can actually but a cheap CPU and OC it to achieve immmense memory subsystem speeds and power.
The above mobo has an Easy Switch that I will have re routed outside of my 4U ATX racks so I can adjust it in realtime.
After reading the manual is seems that the speeds are set at a default 133, 166 and 200.
By OC'ing I should have the 3 x switches with custom settings that I can switch back and forth from while performing.
For example, for simple streaming of audio from the HDD's that uses the RAM for storing thousands of target buffers, I can use a default speed.
But once I start adding Native processing, i.e. synths and effects, I will need not only the target buffers for streaming, but faster RAM speeds for the synths and effect.
Then the 3rd option using 200MHz will be for large amounts of audio buffers in RAM, and the fastest IPS rate I can achieve.
I hope others here have this board or at least another MSI where they too might be using the Easy Switch.
Since I pay someone to do my builds as I watch and learn any tips here would be appreciated.
For example, I won't be needing eSATA or RAID, even though I have a SATA RAID cage packed w/ Raptors, and use an SSD for the O.S. + Apps. So disabling several unnecessary functions in the BIOS will be applied.
I will post what I learn when I do the build, and I plane on OC'ing until stability appears shaky, then a small step backwards.
Keep in my I make a living off of stability, so this is a risky venture, especially with such large amounts of RAM and 64bit is used. But after years of watching you chaps screaming around like you have l7 980X's, but using i7 920's and i7 930's I feel confident.
So these endless forum cacklings have had a positive effect.
Thanks For That.
