The traffic could be getting routed through internet. How are you transfering the files? I know with FTP (using external IPs), between certain machines on my lan, the traffic gets routed out through internet dropping it to 60kbyte/s even though all the machines are on a switch. The weird thing...

I guess I'll just use the 1005a one, of course the only reason being wanting to have the latest software installed hehe, it must be some kind of afflicition like wanting the latest and greatest hardware even if your rig is doing fine as it is :) seeya

Thanks, I will first try installing overtop, then punch my monitor off my desk if it messes things up :)

Hello, I installed the VIA 4-in-1 package last in May, I believe version 4.30b or something, I noticed 4.32 final is out now, can I just install this over what I have now? Or do I have to remove the old ones? Thanks

Hello, I have an Asus A7V133 and have been using the 1004 BIOS since I got it a few months ago. I noticed on the English Asus site they have version 1005a and on some other languages (German for example) they have 1006. Which BIOS should I use? Does 1006 have more fixed that the earlier one...

The registry hack doesn't seem to work on the 12.40's from nVidia.com :(

The FPS you see in HLDS is some strange measure of performance, I forget how it works. It doesn't mean frames per second in the normal sense. Don't worry about it, HLDS will not be affected at all by a video card change.

I am having this problem as well on my GTS with the 12.40 ref drivers. It seems I can get the GeforceAAset util (handy as hell) to work but choosing "manually choose the AA mode" instead of Software controlled. However there are only 2 freaking modes available that is SO LAME why don't...

Hmm time to go hunt down some beta drivers in the 12.xx range and see how they work. Argh why did they disable coolbits? They should just leave all the "advanced features" hidden by coolbits (overclocking, more FSAA options) and just let it default to dumb mode. l8r

Hello, I just installed the WHQL 12.41 drivers from nVidia.com last night. I noticed a few annoying changes, first, Coolbits no longer works. The second and even more annoying for me is how they changed the FSAA options. Now, for OpenGL, there is just 'Off, 2X, 4X'. I had been using that little...

Since you have the A7V133 use a 10 multiplier with 133 bus speed. That will give you 1333MHz, if you have problems try 1200 with 9 x 133. Try to keep the bus speed at 133 at first (assuming you have PC133 RAM). ttyl

Well running with the BIOS set to 1.70v now and AsusProbe as well as MBM are reporting 1.76volts. CPU is now at 42 degrees while under "normal" desktop use (IE, Winamp, ICQ, Word etc) ttyl

Ah thanks for the tip. Was probably sending 1.85 then earlier. I'll manually put it down to 170 and hope it's still stable. ttyl

Hello. I have an Asus A7V133 and AXIA Athlon 1200 (266 fsb). I am under the impression the default voltage for this CPU is 1.75. I set the BIOS to "auto" and MBM 5 shows the voltage as 1.82. The chip doesn't want to boot at 1400 at "auto" voltage so I set it to 1.80 to see...

Interesting topic, I just got an A7V133 last week. It took me a good 30min of tinkering before I could get the damn thing to power on due to problems with the switch/LED connections. I did everything exactly as the manual shows and nothing worked. Then I started fiddling, putting them on...
