here the new official bios (20):
ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/an8/
BIOS release 2.0 for AN8, AN8-V,AN8-3rd Eye, AN8 Ultra, AN8 SLI, Fatal1ty AN8, Fatal1ty AN8 SLI
Release information:
[ENGLISH]
1. Support FX-60
2. Enhanced compatibility with certain USB devices
3. Enhanced compatibility with certain memories.
4. BIOS compiled date: 1/19/2006
Well I read that it appears there was no change between beta and release of BIOS 20. Seems the compile dates are the same, so all that was changed is most likely the showing of bios 20 instead of 00 do not distribute or whatever. Tictac's bios is much better since it has more divider options and a few others. I'm liking it so far :banana:
the beta bios 20 finally got my system stable! now i gotta try the modded bios, looks good so far

You can enable and disable the patch via bios menu... :toast:
As recomended by bigtoe... hope this tref gain you more bandwith :woot:
I wonder which one I should run. I am unfamiliar with what tref exactly is. Also, what is with the whole patch thing you mention? What does it have to do with the onboard LAN controller? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you for the BIOS revisions!Quote:

make sure you also set in bios menu memory timing
max async latency to 10us
read preamble at 7.5us
drive strength weak
max by pass 7x
that should work best with your ram :woot:
here is the rest of timing for your 2x1gb Samsung UCCC memory
with tref at 15.6us
should be able to run up to 280MHz 1T :banana: :woot:

Jared
i would also test lower MAL and RP as they will hurt your performance
i can run them at 7/5 with a few different sticks of RAM at 280MHz HTT so try 7/5, 8/5, 8/6, 9/6..........really don't think you'd need to go past that.......
What is MAL and RP?Quote:
