I Recently acquired a 9500 and have upgraded it as outlined below.
Having some trouble with the Sonnet FW/USB card. One FW port doesn't
seem to work and the USB Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard is giving
erratic results. Mouse works fine for a short while, then starts not
responding. Got a system freeze, and when I unplugged the USB
transmitter dock, it released the system.
My unstable arrangement is:
A1 ixmicro ultimateRez Video Card
B1 Sonnet FW/USB
C1
D2 M-Audio 2496 Sound Card (2IN-2OUT-MIDI/SPDIF)
E2
F2
I'm currently trying this arrangement:
A1 Sonnet FW/USB
B1
C1 ixmicro ultimateRez Video Card
D2
E2
F2 M-Audio 2496 Sound Card (2IN-2OUT-MIDI/SPDIF)
1 and 2 indicates separate buses as I understand it.
I would like to try adding a Sonnet ATA/100 IDE card. Where would you
add it? In my 8500, it interfered with the M-Audio card (Possible
Explanaiton: too fast a transmission rate, ate up the bandwidth)
Any good discussions on the 9500s 6 PCI Slots / Dual Bus / Bandwidth /
Latency ?
I've Google'd to Little Avail ...
