I have my 8RDA (Not +) up and runing, with my old XP1600 locked, and I want to put in my XP1700 T-Bred, when it come in. I also want to take advantage of the nForce2's ability to give me the multipliers without having to unlock the CPU.

Q 1) I am not sure which BIOS it came with, and am curious which BIOS Ishould use. Should I use the newest one on the EpOX SITE, or is there some other good stable BIOS or BATA for the 8RDA (Not +)?

Q 2) Which driver should I use? I downloaded there ver 2.0, is this a good driver?

BTW, I am using Win 2k Pro / SP2

Yes, I already have been there to get the latest Bios and Driver files, I was just wondering if the latest of both were also the best.

Latest BIOS = 8rd12c16.bin
Latest Driver = nForce_win2k_2.0.exe

Are these the best to use on the 8RDA (not +) rev 1.1 with Win2k Pro?
