Guys

This bios was leaked and should not have been, I had to move a thread to show XS is doing its best to look after everyones interests. The bios will go live tomorrow, please do not post links untill you see the bios live tomorrow....if we upset Asus any further we will not see beta bios files like we have been doing.

Please bear with me for 1 day....then we can link and post.

Thanks

I hear a major site is spotlighting the bios tomorrow, i would read the review and make a decission based on the info it reveals

**berk** · 09-21-2006, 11:05 AM

Thats encouraging!

I'll give it a go when its up,but i just cant overclock this board without the xp loading bar freezing,can only get into windows at stock

I've stopped testing new BIOS versions a while ago anyway. I'm happy with 0801.

**Extera** · 09-21-2006, 12:31 PM

Going to try soon, hope it will get me to 500Mhz FSB (475 now with mods)
I'm just going to wait till the official is here.

**Durzel** · 09-21-2006, 01:44 PM

Any likelihood of newer P5W64 BIOS soon Tony?

No idea mate, I did not get the 1405 i just saw one of my guys found it on the net and listed it up.
I will try and find out if I can but i usually see DFI files only, Asus usually release thru websites or Andre and the other guys who beta test their boards.

Thanks for the heads up....

**adrift02** · 09-21-2006, 03:48 PM

Just out of curiousity has this bios rev made any major changes? I would assume its basically just the officiaL 140# release and not any diff then any other 140# (sort of like nvidia beta/official drivers). Any info on this?

**Tony** · 09-21-2006, 04:02 PM

wait for the review, thats about all I can say

**AndrewZorn** · 09-21-2006, 04:06 PM

i already downloaded this earlier (before this was posted)
so i MIND AS WELL go the cool-kids route and flash to it...

no more will i rave about unreleased bioses then if it means no more early bios

**The Nemesis** · 09-21-2006, 04:28 PM

Most motherboard manufacturer's have a NDA with persons they provide beta bios with to test for compatabilty with different hardware. This process is critial as it gives insight to problems that can be corrected without the end user ever having to expirence them and getting a negative feeling about a product. A perfect example was the release of Abits AW9-D Max and it was found not being compatable with certain ram modules @ 1:1 opertation. Its important that people like Tony get these bioses so they can fine tune them or add their input to make them just right for the end user. There are times when these bioses are shared across a small network of individuals to test. This ensures consistency across multiple hardware configurations. This process should continue, I only hope that user's recognize the purpose as a whole and not be so short sighted in the future.

**revenant** · 09-21-2006, 05:27 PM

wow.. looks like a good bios though.. looking forward to it's proper release!

**WeaponII** · 09-21-2006, 06:49 PM

Perfect timing, I get my board tomorrow!

**Trellame** · 09-21-2006, 09:13 PM

**AndrewZorn** · 09-21-2006, 09:16 PM
