Targa 3000 v1.5 - TARGA3100
SLOT ASSIGNMENTS:
AGP: NVIDIA Quadro 2 Pro
PCI32-1: Empty

PCI64-2: AHA 39160 (REQUIRED)
CONFIGURATION NOTES:
The internal AIC-7899 dual channel ultra160 SCSI3
controller was not used for video-data storage in this
testing due to it being attached to the 32-bit PCI bus.
With the TARGA3000 in a 64-bit PCI slot, the available
video-data bandwidth would be severely limited by this
data having to go through a PCI bridge before reaching
the ultra160 SCSI3 controller on the 32-bit PCI bus.
In order to pass the 90-minute Adobe Premiere playback
portion of the certification process without any dropped
frames, the following services should be disabled in the
"Services" control panel:
1. Altiris Client Service
2. Compaq DMI Web Alerter
3. Compaq Local Alerter
4. Compaq Remote Diagnostics Enabling Agent
5. Insight Manager LC Remote Management
With these services enabled, Our 90-minute playback test
was consistently dropping 4 - 7 frames.
