Steve, My motherboard is an Intel DG965WHMKR purchased from Fry's on June 4, 2007 for $124.99. The BIOS on this board has provisions for enabling/disabling HPET. I installed an Intel Core2Duo E6600 ($243.00 at the time but probably cheaper now) and 2 GB 800 mHz (4-4-4-12) Dominator RAM. The O/S is XP Pro(SP 2).
This setup has worked very well with my FLEX5000A. CW keying is excellent and I do use the HighRes mode. 73, Bob K5KDN -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Kallal Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 11:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Flexradio] HPET question take 2... Let me restate my earlier HPET question. Hopefully I will be a little clearer this time. I want to use the High Res option in the Keyer setup screen. There are some dual core motherboards out there with Intel chipsets that DON'T have a BIOS option to enable or disable HPET. I do need to restrict my purchase to a motherboard with an actual HPET option to enjoy the benefits of the High Res option. Tim W4TME privately sent me a link to utility that checks the actually checks timers. The link eventually took me to http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/tech/dataacq/skedgran/skedgran.htm. I don't know how to interpret the tool, or if the tool really tells me if the High Res option will work on my system. I am ready to buy a new dual core system and want some accurate info to help me in my desicion. 73, Steve N6VL -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
