Thanks, AMDfreak. The flash to B06 went alright, however, my lame problem still persists. CPUz still says I'm using a x6 multiplier and the voltage is still around 1.192V. Also, uGuru is still not picking up my bus speed. Weird. Everything seems to be running smoothly though, haven't run all my benchmarks but vista 64 goes from post to desktop crazy fast! I guess I'm off to research the problem *shakes fist defiantly at computer*.

thanks, all!
