I shuffled the pci cards untill I ended up with the positions I wrote. What made the big difference was when I placed the videoboard in the upper slot and the usb/fw card in the second leaving the third slot empty. After the last change of slots I removed the battery and pressed the cuda switch for several seconds. Unlike the advise of Sonnet I didn't de-interleave the memory. I have 576mb with only one 32mb strip not interleaved but its worth to try it when you keep having troubles. In 9.1 the sonnet drivers for the cpu caused crashes but after replacing them with cpu director it worked fine. |
