You made it farther than I have Spike. Since flashing my 8MB to the new file, it will boot right up at 1333, FSB 333, 1.8v Dram, 1.5 NB, strap to auto, mem to By SPD. Goes right into windows, can surf, run programs and such, but it will fail stress testing. Thats no biggie cause 1600 is what I'm after. I just want it to run at solid stock speeds first. It wouldnt do 1333 before the Tony fix, so I am very grateful for that. Thanks Tony!
I did spend 12 hours straight trying my best to get it to run at 1600. I just couldnt do it, plain and simple. Best I got was desktop loaded, but the min I clicked on Real Temp, or Super Pi, or well anything, it would either lock up or BSOD. And I only hit the desktop about 5 times, the rest were all lockups or BSOD's before or at the welcome screen. The frustrating part was I could never get it to do the same thing twice. Lets say I got to the desktop, then I would change just 1 thing and it would crash early, so I would change it back and it wouldnt even post or crash right away or just keep rebooting or whatever, but would never do what it did the first time I tried those settings. Was that way all day. So, I'll just wait for more revisions and keep trying.
Edit: Well, after reading saaya's response in the blackops thread, it would seem that my main problem is trying to go 1600 with 4 sticks of 2GB. OK, fair enough, I will give it another go with 2 sticks then, I should have better luck. Again, hopefully future versions of the bios will allow me to go 4 sticks, that would be sweet.
