If you can tell me how to get the exact BIOS version I'll post it as well...


AHA, I think I was right, even though my mb says rev 3.0, the BIOS date is like 1/2002. I'm going to flash my bios to the latest version, this looks like it should fix the memory/cpu setting problem.

Thanks for the info. The updated bios downloads are on the ECS webpage.

Just a clarification, if I could....... is that the "regular" ECS BIOS or the "CheepoBios" hacked version for overclocking? They have the same release date. I found that one (the overclocking one) to be a nice, stable version BTW.

Its the regular ECS bios, since I'm already getting PC100 to run@ 133 I didn't flash to the cheepo
BIOS.
