I am trying to enable the:
SpreadSpectrum Control
Pci Master Read Caching
Delayed Transactions
The problem is once they are set are changed And saved, Yes i save them, they reset themselves. I read somewhere that this is because i have a duron chip (700). Does the motherboard dumb down the settings for non thunderbird processors?? Is there any way to get aorund this? I am running the 1004 bios. Will reverting back to the 1003 bios solve my problems? if so how do I do it. thanks

Bios 1004 does not allow those settings with a Duron. Use the aflash utility to flash back to 1003. I recommend going Here and getting the bios 1003e2 (I am using it of course. 35C with load spikes). He has some very good info to look through also.

jinsonxu, with a Duron? You would be the first person to do it then. PCI MRC will only stay enabled on a thunderbird.

Yes, i checked. This system is a Duron and those settings are all set as enabled. Only disabled bytemerge cause my NIC had problems.
