Howdy, I'm having an issue and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing / has experienced this. I have the following:
Asus P4P800 Deluxe motherboard
Intel P4-2.6
512MB PC2700 RAM
ATI Radeon 9600
2x Maxtor 30GB HD's on onboard IDE RAID controller (RAID-0)
DVD-ROM on primary IDE
DVD+-RM on secondary IDE
I have a DV camcorder attached to the onboard FireWire port, and when I try to do capture it drops frames like mad. Using Scenalyzer Live's HD Write Performance test, if the camcorder is turned off or unplugged from the FW port, it says I can capture at like 380fps, 15x real time. If the camcorder is turned on, even if it is NOT in play mode and NOT capturing video, the write test gives me dismal results - 16fps, 0.6x real time.
I have an extra FireWire card from my previous rig (an Athlon XP 1600+ with single HD that dropped 0 frames), I'm going to try it tonight and will post the results. In the meantime, has anyone had similar problems with onboard FW/RAID?

Heh, CompUSA messed up my plans to test my old FireWire card - they put the Audigy2 ZS on sale and I had to have one. It's FW port is working wonderfully, I've captured close to an hour of DV now with only 1 droped frame (when the screensaver kicked in because I wasn't paying attention). It sounds like that implicates the on-board FireWire, but I've also heard some folks say that the on-board audio is a troublemaker, so maybe its being disabled is the fix. OH well, as long as it works....
