Gigabyte K8N-S & K8NS-Pro -> where's the AGP/PCI Lock ?

[Tillo]

Hello

I just downloaded the manuals for both these boards.

Accoding to the manuals it *appears* that you can set the AGP to anywhere from 66 <-> 100 independant of the cpu FSB selected, but I can find no refernece or graphic of any sort of PCI lock !?!

Am I right in saying that these board do *not* have a PCI lock ?

Well I have heard that if you enter the BIOS and set the CPU and AGP bus speeds to 201 and 67 respectively that this will enable the lock. After a successful reboot enter the BIOS and make the desired changes... worked for me, or so it seems. I haven't had a whole lot of time to fidle with it. I used the F3 beta bios... I found it on one of the forms on here.

update to the latest F2 bios, the lock should be always on and therefore does not need any bios menu choice to activate it. If you use easytune4 it will display your current pci/agp clocks..

I'm curious, is the HTT multiplier faulty on the motherboard or does HTT1000 work perfectly fine on the K8NS-Pro? 5x works perfectly for me, and 4x with 240mhz fsb does too.
