    1.44 Beta Bios for K8N Neo4 Platinum

    MSI sent me a beta bios within 2 hours after filling out the online tech support request form. Has anyone tried this bios? Does it fix the "can't post beyond 219 fsb" bug? Appearantly the 1.4 official release does not. Cheers MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Athlon64 3200+ Winchester (CBBID)...

    Problem with Gigabyte board
