Upgrading Mainboard in Lecroy DDA-3000 (aka WavePro 7300a?)
nctnico:
I'd go for the single core higher frequency. Unless you also want to upgrade the drivers to dual core versions. The standard Wavepro 7k software can't run on a dual core machine.

that's what I was thinking...in that case I wonder what would be the benefit of buying Asus P5PE-VM instead of P5P800-VM because the major difference seems to be the ability of P5PE to run Core 2 Due and higher. But as far as single core cpus are concerned they are the same. But I can get P5P800 cheaper and from several local sellers unlike P5PE

but it will work, right? using just one core. because in that blog that I posted earlier the guy used the standard XStream software i believe.
I cannot seem to find any link to scope software/drivers that officially support dual core ?

it seems i've keep the benchmark view of it... i think i've posted it somewhere here but dont know and dont care where it is, so here it is again...
1) 3D view ON, more than 50% means more than 1 CPU used.
2) turning OFF the 3D view back to normal view, ok near 0% CPU usage
3) 3D view and Spectrum/Spectrogram ON simultaneuosly... 65% usage
judge by yourself, so imho if 3D view is not your cup of tea, you only need normal view, then you will be fine without an upgrade. in fact, even if all views ON, you will still be fine, the scope will not BSoD.. ;) ymmv.

Mechatrommer,
Thanks for the info. What version of the scope software and drivers did you use? Did you install a "dual core version" as nctnico said a couple of posts back? I dont think i have seen anything about dual core version of the scope drivers.
