Re: Can I use 2 hd core card?
Correct, if you want to waste twice as many PCI slots I agree completely that two Process cards are better than 1 Accel card, however there is still a limit of up to 6 HD cards

Re: Can I use 2 hd core card?
Are you sure? Digitest shows more slots... Anyway, just a thumbs-up because those old original PCI Process cards can be bought dirt cheap and they're perfectly capable cards, if you have a slot to put them into

Re: Can I use 2 hd core card?
If you have old PCI cards, Core card equals Process card.

Re: Can I use 2 hd core card?
They are all PCI cards in an expansion bay, correct. Is there any benefit to using all 7 cards with 3 192’s?
How would you order them in your slots? 3 - HD Core cards 3 - HD Accel cards 2 - Process cards |

Re: Can I use 2 hd core card?
Card order *must* be core card first, accel cards second, process cards last. Now back in the day core card was the most expensive so not many had more than one in a system, I am not so sure if you need to put all core cards first. Knowing core card is identical to process card (except the core capability) you may need to put rest of the core cards after accel cards. Just try it.

Re: Can I use 2 hd core card?
the order that was functional initially was as follows
slot 1 - core card slot 2 - core card slot 3 - process card slot 4 - process card slot 5 - process card I did not check if computer registered all cards prior to test, but i took them out and added slot 1 - core card slot 2 - accel card slot 3 - accel card slot 4 - core card slot 5 - process card slot 6 - process card slot 7 - process card ...PT WOULDNT EVEN START, the computer wouldnt start either so I tried... slot 1 - core card slot 2 - accel card slot 3 - accel card slot 4 - core card same thing, wouldnt start nothing would so I tried... slot 1 - core card slot 2 - accel card slot 3 - accel card slot 4 - accel card computer said tdm cable was unplugged and it wasnt and I tried numerous tdm cables so I ... slot 1 - core card slot 2 - accel card slot 3 - accel card and it worked(but only with the tdm cables that WERE MADE IN CHINA! The usa made tdm cables did not work at all, sadly). voice count was low, and if I try and use more than 1 dsp in the playback engine, it will crash and upon restart will go back to 1 dsp... damn |
