Windows XP Pro 64 bit - known issuesConfiguration:
The following known issues have been mentioned by Monarch Computer systems:

Items that will not work regardless of configuration:
Norton Anti-Virus
Norton Systemworks
Promise 378 SATA controller driver
nVidia Forceware drivers on GeForce3 video cards
3Dlabs VP-series video cards – no driver planned
Creative Labs Audigy 4 Pro/Audigy/ – no driver yet

Items that will work:
ATI Radeon/FireGL video cards
nVidia/Quadro video cards
3Dlabs Realizm video cards
Matrox P series and Parhelia video cards
3Ware 9000-series SATA RAID controller (7000 and 8000 series beta driver available)
Creative Labs Audigy 2ZS
Creative Labs Modem – driver native
Lucent Modem – driver native
Adaptec 7902 SCSI – driver native – ZCR support not tested
Nero Burning Rom (32 and 64-bit)
MS Office
Power DVD 6
Win-DVD 5 – the installer warns that the application will not run on a 64-bit OS, and warns of not being able to install a file. The application will however function properly.

Desktop Configurations:

nForce 3-based configuration using MSI K8T Neo2-Platinum motherboard :
• No SATA driver disk needed for single SATA hard disk OS installation.
• When installing OS in a RAID configuration (must use driver floppy), during the first part of text-mode installation the Windows installer will report the following files missing-nvraid.cat & nvata.cat. These files can be skipped and the OS install will proceed normally.
• After installing the nForce chipset drivers and rebooting, the nForce ethernet controller and audio controller will show a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. The solution is to manually re-install device drivers using Device Manager. Have the OS search, but uncheck the two boxes specifying the search location.

nForce 4 Ultra configuration using the DFI Lan Party UT Ultra-D motherboard:
• No SATA driver disk needed for single SATA hard disk OS installation.
• When installing OS in a RAID configuration (must use driver floppy), during the first part of text-mode installation the Windows installer will report the following files missing-nvraid.cat & nvata.cat. These files can be skipped and the OS install will proceed normally.
• After installation of Power DVD 6, you will be prompted to run the DMA test. This test will run and fail, but any DVD-ROM/DVD-RW will be running in DMA mode.
• Windows Media Player will not playback DVD video (does have audio) with an nVidia video card installed unless at least Win-DVD 5 is installed. Windows Media Player will not playback DVD video with an nVidia video card if only Power DVD 6 is installed.
• After installing the nForce chipset drivers and rebooting, the nForce ethernet controller and audio controller will show a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. The solution is to manually re-install device drivers using Device Manager. Have the OS search, but uncheck the two boxes specifying the search location


nForce 4 configuration using the WinFast NF4K8MC-RS motherboard (u-ATX)
• No SATA driver disk needed for single SATA hard disk OS installation.
• When installing OS in a RAID configuration (must use driver floppy), during the first part of text-mode installation the Windows installer will report the following files missing-nvraid.cat & nvata.cat. These files can be skipped and the OS install will proceed normally.
• After installing the nForce chipset drivers and rebooting, the nForce ethernet controller and audio controller will show a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. The solution is to manually re-install device drivers using Device Manager. Have the OS search, but uncheck the two boxes specifying the search location.

Via K8T800 configuration using the Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard:
• Cannot load OS using SATA. Must use SATA driver floppy for OS install to see hard disk. After going through text-mode and gui-mode install, and after the reboot the system will immediately BSOD. This happens with both the VIA SATA controller and the Promise 378 SATA controller.
• The OS can be loaded using an IDE drive. However, loading the Promise 378 SATA controller and attaching a SATA drive to it, the drive will not be seen in the OS. This appears to be a driver issue.

Via K8T890 configuration using the Asus A8V-E Deluxe motherboard:
• A SATA driver disk is needed to load the OS in single disk SATA mode. However, the ACPI/ATK10 driver is not installed and is not available from Asus at this time. The ACPI/ATK10 driver is properly loaded if an IDE drive is used for OS installation.
• There is no driver for the wireless LAN.


Intel 925XE configuration using the Asus P5AD2-E Premium motherboard:
• A SATA driver disk is not needed to load the OS in single disk SATA mode. However, the ACPI/ATK10 driver is not installed and is not available from Asus at this time. The ACPI/ATK10 driver is properly loaded if an IDE drive is used for OS installation.
• There is no driver for the wireless LAN.
• The Intel Matrix RAID function works properly.

Intel 915G configuration using the Intel D915GUXLK motherboard (u-ATX)
• A SATA driver disk is not needed to load the OS. This board has no RAID.
• The Intel GMA 900 video driver is native to the OS.
• After installing all drivers, there is am Unknown Device in Device Manager – Unknown Device on Intel 82801FB Interface Controller. This would have to do with the ICH6 SATA controller.
• Windows Media Player will not playback DVD video (does have audio) with an nVidia video card installed unless at least Win-DVD 5 is installed. Windows Media Player will not playback DVD video with an nVidia video card if only Power DVD 6 is installed.

Intel 915P configuration using the Intel D915PBLL system board:
• A SATA driver disk is not needed to load the OS in single disk SATA mode.
• Windows Media Player will not playback DVD video (does have audio) with an nVidia video card installed unless at least Win-DVD 5 is installed. Windows Media Player will not playback DVD video with an nVidia video card if only Power DVD 6 is installed.
• The Intel Matrix RAID function works properly.


Server Configurations:

Tyan 2882-based configuration with 3Ware 9000-series SATA RAID controller:
• All device drivers/chipset drivers are native to the OS with the exception of the on-board Silicon Image 3114 driver, which is available.
• The on-board ATI Rage XL video uses a Standard VGA driver, as a Rage XL driver is not available.
• It is possible to load the OS with the on-board Silicon Image 3114 SATA RAID controller using a driver disk.

Tyan 2882-based configuration with SCSI drive:
• Adaptec 7902 SCSI driver is native – no driver disk needed to load OS.
• No ZCR support tested yet (Adaptec or Intel).
• The on-board ATI Rage XL video uses a Standard VGA driver, as a Rage XL driver is not available.

Tyan 4882-based configuration with SATA:
• The Silicon Image 3114 driver will not work with this board. A 3Ware 9000-series card must be used.

Tyan 4882-based configuration with SCSI:
• Untested.


Workstation Configurations:

Tyan 2885/2875-based configuration with SATA:
• Must use Silicon Image 3114 driver disk to load OS.
• All device drivers/chipset drivers are native to the OS with the exception of the on-board Silicon Image 3114 driver.

Tyan 2895 (nForce 4 Pro)-based configuration with SATA:
• A SATA driver disk is not needed to load the OS in single disk SATA mode.
• After installing the nForce chipset drivers and rebooting, the nForce ethernet controller and audio controller will show a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. The solution is to manually re-install device drivers using Device Manager. Have the OS search, but uncheck the two boxes specifying the search location.
• When installing OS in a RAID configuration (must use driver floppy), during the first part of text-mode installation the Windows installer will report the following files missing-nvraid.cat & nvata.cat. These files can be skipped and the OS install will proceed normally.
• PowerDVD5 or 6 will not install. Getting “Ikernel.exe cannot be copied to c: Program Files(x86)\CommonFiles\InstallShield\Engine\6\Inte
l32”. Appears to be a permissions issue.
• WinDVD5 installed and works OK.
