Rogerthat well if no huge improvements Ill stick with this one then for now OPP :)
Just for kicks, heres the updates that are listed for this bios for others to read.
Provide multiplier higher than 24x in SoftMenu.
Support PMC Pm49FL004T 4Mb Flash ROM.
Fix some CL=3 DDR400 memory modules fail to boot issue.(Both DDR333 and DDR400 modules can only work at DDR 266 owing to 845E chipset specification.)
Fix "CPU Shutdown Temperature" function failed under Win2K.
HPT 374 BIOS Version 1.21.
BIOS compile Date: 8/26/2002.
Good to see that they have fixed, *fingers crossed*, the CL3 problem that some people were having with the IT7 and BD7II where it wouldnt boot with CL3 ram sticks. And they have included an update to the HPT bios. I dont really understand the other stuff :p

New bios didn't change much for me.
Multiplier up to 32x, that's all that looks new to this bios.
Sandra memory score was exactly the same as with the A4 bios. But it runs nicely and sticking to it right now.
Still no +1.7V choice for the VCore and +2.8V for the memory, Damn'.

I modded the it7_av bios to add ddr voltage settings to 3.2v. That's the only change I made. Works fine.

I don't use raid, so the memory voltage was the only change I made.
