i emailed the bios i have to Pedro. He tried to flash his eVGA and could not flash it

I thought they are the same but maybe there are some slight differences
don't think pedro would have issues following simple instructions lol

Sorry for the lack of news Dino, but I have been quite busy in my work

I could flash the Reference Board Bios, but I have to force - using /F switch

In fact this bios, with P1 and P2 enable, seems to have very good bandiwth

Here is a result with the E8500 air cooled and the blue Cellshocks




Everest seems to be a bit buggy, if I boot at more than 950 the readings on Read/Write/Lantecy all go very bad in Everst ..this is quite strange, maybe is due to mem multipliers

looks good to me

Tony mentioned that 475MHz is the limit for P1 and P2 but i tested SuperPi which is a much better indicator of RAM performance than everest software

in my tests i am 100% positive that you lose no performance in RAM when booting past 475 as i was booting at 500MHz and 556MHz FSB for the tests with superfast performance in superpi

so do some tests with Pi

also make sure you tighten subtimings (in case you haven't)

i've done some groundwork in my thread which will probably help a bit

thanks for the update mate
