I had heard this before bios 14, but here is the info.

BIOS release V14 for AB9 QuadGT

Release information:

[ENGLISH]

1. Support FSB1333 CPUs
2. BIOS compiled date: 06/21/2007

I didn't do much testing with 14 because of some reported problem with that bios. Hmm maybe I should since the problem was to do with ICH8R AHCI function & fixed in 15. You would think the 1333 was carried over into the 15 bios, but could have been part of the problem with 14 & removed from 15. hmmm Got me thinking...

BIOS release V15 for AB9 QuadGT

Release information:

[ENGLISH]

1. The ICH8R AHCI function now works as intended.
2. BIOS compiled date: 07/18/2007

that is a 1333 fsb CPU not a 1333 memory strap!..big difference!...a 1066 fsb CPU working with a 1333 memory strap will give you a higher FSB...that is not the case with the QuadGT which was designed to operate on the 1066 memory strap...maybe a "G0" cpu you could get a higher FSB because of the lower watts it operates at...a "G0" is still a 1066 fsb CPU

Yea I mixing up the two, sorry. The N/B Strap CPU as: 1333 is what I posted about in the mods section a while back.
Still no answer & still no selectable item in the bios. May be a chipset limitation.
