You are of course right. After initial testing on air, the chip was mounted in my PC (with singel stager) and has not been on air since. Does Prime (or is it wPrime?) at 4,4 with P5W DH Deluxe (if I remember correctly) but has not tested with P5K Deluxe, which is current MOBO. Have not benched anything since January / February.... Furthermore, although P5K Deluxe allows a higher FSB than P5W DH Deluxe, I reached a higher clock with the latter.

BIOS2205!
I really wish that ASUS would add changelog into their ZIPfiles like other Vendors...
Can any 6600-B2 User confirm Multichanges to 10+ with 1601BIOS?

No more need of 1601.

Running 3.6Ghz 24/7 100% load. No issues. 400x9. :) Benched at 3.85Ghz.
And for the BX2 owners the 2747 bios was a huge improvement.

There is a new 2770 bios out but I think the 2747 version is better.
