Anybody have experience with the BIOS upgrades on the EPoX 8KTA3?

Here's the deal: I'm greedy, I admit it! I've gotten my 1GHz 'bird to fly at 1296MHz, stable, but it won't run stably over that. Yes, I've tried every single permutation with the multiplier/CPU-clock settings, too. On every other board I've had I upgraded to the latest BIOS and have usually gotten 5-10% stable clock-speed improvement, but I've never flashed an EPoX, and so I don't know if there are any flaky side-effects in doing so. Hey, it does mean the big 1.3, but I don't want to hose my system in the process. Has anybody flashed the 8KTA3's BIOS with success/failure, and has that flashing yielded the type of result I'm looking for, the way the A7V133 BIOS-update does?

Thanks for your time!

This has got to be the Easiest board ever to flash the bios on.
I've flashed mine twice, and have never had any sort of issue. and yes your getting a little greedy there.

Anybody else here have some details on their experiences with performance increase/decrease with their 8KTA3?

What do you need to know? I did mine, it was really easy! NO sweat, just do it.
Looks like they update the bios every couple months or so.
