No problems with r/w errors on any BIOS that I remember.Quote:

Also for Linux, there's a Marvell driver in the works that I'm testing, and I wrote the sensor chip driver for the board. Let me know if you need them. You'll need to be able to recompile your kernel though.
I just bought an XFX 8800GTS 640M, installed it in the middle PCI-E slot.
CPU-Z shows it's only working on the 8x mode. Does anyone else have this problem? How can I change it to 16x:confused:
Also, I installed WinXP Pro without installing the SATA drivers that come with the board. Is it possible to install them afterwards, or is it unnecessary? Sound didn't work on WinXP Pro either until I installed the drivers.
You have to put it in the first slot to get x16.Quote:

Any suggestions?
Are you talkiing the Intel controller or marvell? It's not necessary to install the SATA drivers unless you want the RAID functionality. If it's your boot drive it's hit or miss as to whether you can change after you've installed Windows.Quote:

No way around it. Only the first slot is x16.Quote:

oh yea BTW it is 2747

what is this???
can this bios boot with ECC ram ? the one before didn't boot at all and didn't let me to recover the old bios until I replaced the memory with non-ECC ram :(Quote:

thanks
This is my first intel mobo and I gotta say that compared to, lets say ASUS, these bios updates does indeed come fast. Rather nice experience, even if all the "bugs" doesn't get sorted.
Damn this board is stable. :)
Damn good bios!!Quote:

Congrats. Good opening statement about this BIOS. :devil:Quote:

wow..you have one sweet quad core....and running 4x1GB of ramQuote:

Im gonna have to update the bios and see if it handles 4gb of ram better, and runs more stable. Wont have my BX2 for long though, I bought an Asus P5K Deluxe :up:
Im thinking to buy a P5K too. Tell me, worth it? More stable? Overclock?Quote:

Bye
Rbs.
more stable, i doubt it
better oc, don't think so
better ram oc, YES :p:
edit : strange I never had a stick of memory dying. This is with the 6 XBX2 I had (have 2 atm)
But the overall performace is better? P5K clocks ram like crazy, but is better than BX2 ram @ 422 3-3-3-4?Quote:

Look at those voltages. I stopped it at 6hrs, but I think it would go much more. More test coming :)
WOW man! 3.3 with 1.19V :shocked:Quote:

EDIT:
Anyone running 4:5 over 400FSB? Its impossible to me...orthos scream after 1 second :slapass:
Yeah, this L628B is amazing. With the famous 2333 I could run 1h of Orthos at 1,39v 3700Mhz, I will try with 2747 in a few days :p:Quote:
