Just like to know whether anyone has done this before (on other mobos too). What are the effects of doing this - immediate and long term sustainable damage?

Yes, a new bios has been released at their Taiwanese site. An extract from the readme is as follows: This is the AWARD(r) V1.0B14 Special bIOS This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version: -built-in 4-way memory interleave function -wider range of Vcore selection...

Just like to consult users of the same board, or those within that MSI range, whether I have a power supply problem or a mobo related problem. According to PC Alert III, the following are my voltage ratings: Vcore - 1.64 +5v - 4.88 3.3v - 3.37 +12v - 12.20 Are the above in line with other...

Oops!! Try this http://www.msi-computer.de/support/download/bios/6330_201.exe Sorry!

Yep, new bios is version 2.01. Haven't tried it yet on Pro 2. Apparently, its for Pro 2A (v1.0C). Has anyone tried it on their standard Pro 2 yet? Download link http://www.msi-computer.de/support/dowload/bios/6330_201.exe

rempe, out of curiosity, which Aureal card (1 or 2) do you have, and which ref. drvs are using?

OD3 Actually, this BIOS (1.83b) is not for Pro1, its for Pro2A. I visted their site and discovered it located under the 2A section of updates. I can't speak (or read) a word of German, but I think it is for Pro2A. I've tried it - didn't f@#k up my system, or was I lucky?

I believe the Montego 2 is based on the Vortex 2 chipset. If so, try downloading the 2048 drvs from www.vortexofsound.com as these could be of use. After many many frustrating days, I've discovered that A3D chips are incompatible with VIA's K?133 chipset. I had a card based on Vortex 1...

rempe, man, the that Abit KT7 just shines through its mem benchmarks! If only the K7T could come anywhere near that......if only ;-(

All my "caps" are green 3900uF ones. Disappoited, but nonetheless this board ROX! Anyways, I think those with 4700uF caps were early models - before they increased production levels to meet demand.

JimmyZ As a guide, at 133mhz cas 3, i get about 380/480 in Sandra's mem benchmark. Obviously, at 100mhz cas 2, I get SIGNIFICANTLY less. With 4-way interleave (at 100mhz), in Sandra I get about 360-370/460 or something. Imagine, if it was possible to get 133mhz AND 4-way, I could be...

I just thought that MSI should, in their next bios update, include some flexibility in the control in memory timings. I have PC100 Hyundai ram, which clocks well at 133mhz (CAS 3) on Pro 2 (7 3900uF caps). But i would also like to be able to set it at 4way interleave - which v1.8+ BIOS could...

Guess what...I've tried both 1.7 and 1.8 and have found them to be SLOWER in memory bandwidth compared to v1.6. This was benchmarked on Sandra if that puts it into context.

Just wondering whether it is possible to enable 4 way interleave on this motherboard. Also, can anyone get their memory to run at NORMAL speed in the bios (apparently this setting has 4 way interleave and faster timing!)? Reason I ask is that although my RAM (Hyundai PC100 10ns 128 mb x 2 [1...

PlunX Apparently, I've discovered that any card based on the Vortex 1 chipset is incompatible with the KT133 chipset (oh well "sigh" ). I noticed that you are using the onboard sound - isn't just pathetic? Slows down games, provides glithes etc.
