I have just updated to an Abit AV8 Motherboard and Venice 3200+, so far it performs very well. I have conservatively overclocked the chip with a FSB of 250x10 without raising the Vcore and still using the stock AMD cooler. I will probably push it a bit further when I get a new cooler.

I noticed that the bios is still version 19 (compiled 01/19/05) which, according to the Abit website does not support the Venice core (Rev E).

Ok the question is should I flash the bios to a later version 20 or 21 and has anyone had any problems/issues with the later bios. I have carried out a search of the forums and cannot find any info. So could any AV8/Venice core users please povide me with some advice.

Regards

Thanks - vailr - I got the info I needed from the Abit site, it looks like I will stay with what works for now.
