Try the original bios shipped with the rev 304 board. He didn't say anything about which bios was used but it may have some effect I hope:confused:

Maybe it's 302 exclusive. Nemesis, did the rep use a 302 or 304?
Couldn't it also be that he is using some kind of engeniering bios of some sort?Quote:

I don't know, the question wasn't asked by myself or others. I assumed it was the 304 since the 302 doesn't support Conroe. Hopefully some of the others that continued to ask questions after I left will post some better results on this or other sites. I myself am still gonna give it a try after I pick up a board & cpu. I'll grab both boards and see.;)Quote:

Marketing Rep, I think you have your answer right there ;)
when i'm done with the P5W DH, i'll try your mod on my bad axe
What stepping cpu's do you guys have? Maybe it works on the earlier/later steppings. I don't think he was untruthful, there just may be to variables I'm not aware of.
Maybe a jumper needs to be on it...as in pins sticking through the board. There might be an anti-conductive coating or something on the pads.
Or maybe it's just the ES CPU's ?

It is an interesting point on the board, does have a 'testing' appearance to it.

what are these holes for? :confused:
Mounting holes for a 2-pin header/jumper possibly.
If Intel suddenly let that slip....they`d lose a LOT of money, so I`m not sure if this is true
True but shipping the boards with a bios that prevents it would quickly solve it, which they may have already done.Quote:

FCG or Fugger could probably confirm if it work or not
edit : hehe...FCG replied before
lol, that is most certainly not for a header. those are SMD pads for either 1) a resistor, or 2) a capacitor.Quote:

MFG JMP..Manufacturers Jumper?
That's what it looks like to me too...:confused:Quote:

In the first post he says jump MFG and JB4. I see MFG and J8 J4 in those pics. Something aint right.
I don't get the point why this thread is rated 5 stars if nobody could get the mod to works.
I seriously doubt that a simble mod like that would unlock multi upward :confused:
Another of my mistakes, I'll correct the first post. Remember I don't own this board, I've only seen it @ Fry's and the Quakecon Intel Demonstration. I'm still having hope the mod works, as I still don't think the rep lied to a crowd of hundreds of people. This will get figured out, and I fully believe that if it can happen xtremesytem members will figure it out. That's why I posted here:DQuote:
