Here's the latest 151 BETA BIOS: http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.ph...98A7376AMS.zip

I am definitely expecting something in it. Any takers?

give me a few hours, i'll give it a shot


Thanks to bgbdbstrd for the alert.

Excellent RAM there, 2.0v should get you 5-5-5-15 533 stable

How do you know what the vDIMM after boot is?
You can check the SPD in SPD Tool or CPUZ and set the timings as rated in there.

i used HWMonitor 1.08 (64-bit) for my voltages/temps
screenie on my system, which you can see seems to read the dram at 2.21
it was 1.8-1.9 at bios 1.3B3 this is my first run of it on 1.40:


also CPUZ SPD tab :



i will try to go back in and enable EPP profiling (mistake, eather i can't find it, or it was a differnt motherboard i am thinking of) in the BIOS, after a 1.51 flash.

I'm not really an expert at that price point, mainly server hardware for work which tops that price range by quite a lot

you know, i feel that what i want to spend on raid, is way low, but at the same time, i have the promise chip on-board, so i don't HAVE to have one, and it's only for striped, no mirroring at all (do a self backup of everything i might want to ever keep, DVDs/Online) so, if i find one, sweet if not, blah.





EDIT :
did the 151 flash MORE INFOS :

Version V1.5B1 04/10/2008
changes seen in BIOS : TLB FIX DISABLE - added to cell menu

Ram timings : when set all on auto and Ratio set on 1:2.66 (for my 1066)
which then i manually set to 5-5-5-15



no other notable changes in WINRAR or HDTACH (all changes seen were within a few %, inside a standard varation default)
