One thing that caught me out and is worth reporting on is the DFI bios file name format.

I was confused why my C2D did not have multi adj until it was pointed out that i had the quad core bios version...

So DFI publish dual and quad core versions of thier bioses.

eg.
2CTST521 = Dual Core version of bios 521
4CTST521 = Quad Core version of bios 521

This was true with prior versions but now incorrect... with the 521 version they switched it to 2C = non-extreme including Q6600... 4C = extreme processors (both dual and quad).
