Abit IP35 and IP35-E new Bios

I had completely forgotten this: the first time I booted after flashing the BIOS to 16 and clearing the CMOS, I think my Xeon E3110 started with a 9.5 multiplier. I presumed this was an error so I immediately set everything to defaults, and the next time it booted at 9x. I've been uncertain whether the whole thing was an hallucination...

not a hullucination, my e8400 did the same thing. for whatever reason the bios will say 9.5x, but it will only be 9x in windows. many other people have reported the same thing. just a bios bug.

Note that BIOS 17 is now out.

Inside the txt has changes,

1. Fixed C1E and EIST function.
2. Fixed the 7600GT Graphics card compatibility problem.
3. BIOS compiled date: 03/27/2008.

Thanks. Used the Abit windows flash utility and it worked just fine. Reset my CMOS by moving the jumper after flashing, re-entered settings, running just fine. Didn't realize the C1E and EIST functions were messed up in the first place, but whatever.

Is this BIOS 17 for the IP35? Will it work without issue on the IP35-E? And should we also presume that an official IP35-E BIOS update is therefore imminent?

IP35 & IP35-E share the same BIOS so yes, it will work on an -E.
