Yes, it is Texas Instruments firewire in this mobo. This is what everest shows: Texas Instruments TSB43AB22 1394A-2000 OHCI PHY/Link-Layer Controller cheers

alitayyab & co. Thanks for checking. I'm starting to think that the udma reading has nothing to do with actual transfer rate, even though this is emulation. cheers

Update: The burst speed mystery is solved. It appears be that seagate barracuda 7200.10 series disks are by factory default in sata I mode. I removed the small jumper from my disk, and now I'm getting burst speeds of around 248Mb/s. The udma mystery however still remains

Are you sure you are refering to your optical drives? Most optical driveves don't support udma5 mode. I'm not sure if any (not sure about the latest). LG-4160b should support udma2, if i have found correct info. If you look at your IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers in device manager, what does it read...

It's under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. The first 'Primary IDE Channel' Stands for SATA hd connected into sata port 0 on mobo. We have to remember that we are currently running our sata disks in emulation mode (due to lack of ACHI driver), thus we are using the conventional ATA transfer modes...

Thanks for response pcy/Peter I have Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB SATAII hd. After updating the latest bios, I opened windows device manager and noticed the tranfer speed was reduced to udma5. There was no way I could get back to udma6, other than flashing the previous bios back. I...

The latest bios 1545, not good at all.. :confused: According to release notes: "Fixed issue where oprating system would not enable DMA transfers for SATA.." And apparently the fix was turning down my HD to Ultra DMA 5 mode. I flashed back to bios 1458, and now I'm back to Ultra DMA 6...

Updated to the 1458 bios. All basic appears to be working fine so far. I wonder what that usb IRQ fix in release notes means? The reason why I was interested in about this bios, is because usb ports in this mobo seem to hog lots of irq's. That also means my creamware card is shared with usb...

I wonder how is this problem related to 7950GT. Those cards needs extra power by ATX connector, thus providing stable voltage straight from psu. If there is problem in DP965LT not providing enough power from pci-e, wouldn't it be more logical, that cards without extra ATX power feed failed in...

I expected 965 is not quite ready yet, but this is worse than I imagined. If were sold faulty boards, a refund/ free replacement is the least Intel should do.

quote: Oh, I forgot to mention this. I just remembered that when the computer was rebooting after installing the new BIOS it displayed the message "Memory size decreased". This is what I got too after update. Also, if check your bios log there is more.. As for your boot problem, perhaps...

h2bench test is reporting core (interface) speed of 110MB/s. That equals to ATA133. I don't think this emulation mode is giving 3gb peak. If it would, h2bench reported values between 150-200MB/s

alitayyab, 82801HH is mentioned here: http://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/30/38/303875_303875.pdf That pdf describes the chip is also known as ICH8DH So thinking that this might be the chip used in later board revisions, and the fact that windows sees all 6 ports, we could assume there is...

Sad news indeed concerning ACHI support. I know this board is low budget, but does everything have to be ripped off. Have you checked this specification update: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="ftp://download.intel.com/design/motherbd/lt/D6333601US.pdf"><a target=_blank...

I'm sure you have checked this, but are you sure your heatsink is fully 100% seated? There are 4 plugs to push through mobo, and I had difficulties to get one of them seated. It seemed to be ok, but in closer look it wasn't. DigitalBob, thanks for pointing out the memory mapping of this...
