P5K Premium won't change FSB

[jamiee]

Lestat my CPU is is one of the new G0 steppings, and while they do run on the 0102 BIOS, it doesn't fully support them; hence why I flashed to the 0204 revision.

I've tried clearing the CMOS as well as loading defaults in the BIOS to no avail.

Now for a bit of interesting news.... I decided that one of my DVD ROM drives wasn't really needed since I already have DVD-R/W and Xbox HD-DVD drives. So I took the Pioneer DVD drive out (IDE). This leaves only the Optiarc DVD-R/W on the J-Micron IDE channel. Well darn if after that the PC didn't boot to the proper settings set in the BIOS. I figured that was just pure luck though, so I re-booted and upped the FSB a little bit. WoW! it actually took again! (Lucky twice in a row.. hmmm?)
So I messed around in Windows a bit then decided to try my luck a third time... Re-booted, upped the FSB and saved. Once again the settings took!!!

I'll have to do more testing but its really starting to look like it was the J-Micron controller that was somehow affecting things. (or maybe the DVD drive itself). Doesn't make much sence - but whatever works, works

On another note, I also tried upping the NB voltage to 1.55, but again that just caused studdering in Windows. Looks like it's a separate issue.
