1002 (Beta) BIOS available for P4B266-C

[Pabster]

Just a heads up. Released today. I have no idea what they've done and I haven't flashed it on any of my -C yet. So YMMV. 😀

Got a link?

I tried
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4b266-c/
ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4b266-c/

And i only see the 1001 & the bogus 1006 bios.


nevermind, found it.

P4B266-C BETA bios

This gets even more confusing.😕

I flashed my board with it & it's a 1002 beta 4 bios.

When i bought my board 1002 was allready on it,but this beta bios has a newer date than my old 1002 bios.

Does this mean that they shipped me a board with a beta bios?

Any notable changes??????

The only changes i see is it now says beta 4 at boot up.:disgust:

So I flashed back to my original 1002 bios that came with the board,good thing i saved it before flashing.😉

Damn, I was hoping we'd see the 3:4 option for FSBs higher than 132mhz. 🙁

Any differences from the regular 1002 bios? Cause that's the one i have with my board..hmm deciding whether or not to update to a beta 4....

Man, I hate that website. Only way for me to get the files is to climb the ftp ladder and then copy file to folder.

I wish they would take that beta bios 1006 for the regular P4B266 out of the -C directory. For those that used it, I hope it doesn't cause problems.

I wonder if it targets the USB issue with high FSB. I will give it a try and see.

................edit.................
Doesn't seem to have changed a thing. And according to the dates of creation reported by AFLASH, the two bios are only a week apart in age. It took them 3 1/2 months to post the beta?
